Beyonce has hit a career best with three of her tracks from Cowboy Carter hitting the charts, the now TikTok famous hit Texas Hold ‘Em is joined by Jolene and Most Wanted, featuring Miley Cyrus.
The CEO of Official Charts, Martin Talbot, sang Beyonce’s praises as he said: ‘In a career of huge achievements, congratulations to Beyonce on securing a slew of UK chart records with her country single and album this week, underlining her position as one of the world’s most ground-breaking musical artists.’
‘With Texas Hold ‘Em and Cowboy Carter, she this week becomes the first artist to top the Official Singles Chart and Official Albums Chart with country repertoire simultaneously, and the first black artist ever to take a country album to Number 1 in the UK. Step aside (for now) Dolly, Bey is the *current* Queen of country.’
Last week, Beyonce shared her thoughts on the new album.
‘The joy of creating music is that there are no rules,’ said Beyonce. ‘The more I see the world evolving the more I felt a deeper connection to purity.’
