Beyoncé says she no longer looks at “charts and sales” for motivation when making music, and that paving the way for other Black country singers is what really drives her now.
After the success of her country album Cowboy Carter, the “Texas Hold Em” singer reached the top of Billboard’s Hot country songs chart and became the first Black woman to do so since its 1964 inception. Cowboy Carter also topped the all-genres Billboard 200, making it her eighth No 1 album.
