Beyoncé surprised fans with a musical shift earlier this year, transitioning from dance and electronic music to country, a genre that few would have expected her to explore. Despite the unexpected change, the superstar excelled in her new venture, showcasing her versatility and talent.
However, this week marks a notable moment as Beyoncé's latest country album, Cowboy Carter, has slipped from its No. 1 position on the Top Country Albums chart. The chart, compiled by Billboard, tracks the most-consumed country albums in the U.S. based on a combination of streams and sales data.
Morgan Wallen has reclaimed the top spot on the Top Country Albums chart with his album One Thing at a Time. Wallen's project has enjoyed significant success, spending a total of 61 weeks on the chart, with 46 of those weeks at No. 1.
Despite its slight decline, Cowboy Carter remains in a strong position on the chart, currently holding the No. 2 spot. The album debuted at No. 1 and maintained its position for four consecutive weeks, establishing itself as a successful entry in the country music genre.
On the broader Billboard 200 chart, One Thing at a Time has climbed to the second position, trailing behind Taylor Swift's The Tortured Poets Department. Cowboy Carter continues to perform well on this chart, securing the No. 4 spot.
In terms of sales figures, One Thing at a Time moved 68,689 equivalent units in the past tracking week, showing an 8.1% increase. On the other hand, Cowboy Carter experienced a decline, shifting 51,961 equivalent units with a 21.3% decrease from the previous week.
