Beyoncé made history this week by claiming the top spot on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart with her new single, 'Texas Hold ‘Em.' This achievement marks her first No. 1 hit on this particular chart, solidifying her status as a versatile artist capable of success across multiple genres.

Notably, Beyoncé is now the first woman to achieve a No. 1 hit on both the Hot Country Songs and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts. While she has already amassed an impressive 10 No. 1 hits on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and a total of 32 top 10 hits, this latest accomplishment further cements her position as a chart-topping powerhouse.

Joining a select group of artists, including Justin Bieber, Morgan Wallen, Billy Ray Cyrus, and Ray Charles, Beyoncé's feat of reaching No. 1 on both the Hot Country Songs and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts underscores the rarity and significance of this achievement. It highlights the unique talent and broad appeal that Beyoncé possesses as an artist.

In addition to its success on the Hot Country Songs chart, 'Texas Hold ‘Em' also debuted at No. 1 on the Country Digital Song Sales list, further showcasing the song's popularity and commercial success. With 39,000 copies sold, the single has resonated with audiences across various platforms, including the all-genre Digital Song Sales tally.

Beyoncé's crossover success is further evidenced by the song's impressive debut at No. 2 on the Hot 100 chart. With the potential to ascend to the top spot in the coming weeks, 'Texas Hold ‘Em' is poised to become a chart-topping hit across multiple genres, solidifying Beyoncé's status as a music industry icon.
