Beyoncé surprised everyone with her Verizon commercial at the LVIII Super Bowl in Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada. The artist decided to share two songs from her new project titled, “Act II,” which surely expanded her horizons in the music industry. Now, one of the songs is making history in the United Kingdom for the first time.
Country music has been greatly received in the United States as one of the blueprints of their culture. However, there weren’t many people of color represented in the genre. This time, Beyoncé came to break the stigmas and demonstrate music doesn’t have sex or color. “Texas Hold’ Em” is already a hit almost everywhere, and the Official UK Charts are living proof of it.
On February 23, The Official UK Singles Chart was glad to announce that Beyoncé had peaked at the top of the chart with “Texas Hold’ Em.” This is a major feat not only for the artist’s career but for black country artists as well, as the song became the first country song by a female artist to achieve the #1 spot.
Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold’ Em” has already become a trending topic everywhere, as she is defying her and the music industry’s standards. The American artist’s new album is set to be released on March 29, 2024, and there are no further details about the album cover or the tracklist.
