Cowboy Carter Debuts at No.1


Last week Beyoncé released the Renaissance Act II : Cowboy Carter Album [click here if you missed that]. 

This week Cowboy Carter becomes Beyoncé eight No.1 album...

From Billboard 
Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter gallops in at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart (dated April 13), debuting with 407,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending April 4, according to Luminate. It’s the superstar’s eighth No. 1 on the all-genre Billboard 200.
With 407,000 units earned, Cowboy Carter claims the biggest week of 2024 and the largest since Taylor Swift’s 1989 (Taylor’s Version) bowed with 1.653 million units on the Nov. 11, 2023-dated list. Cowboy Carter’s launch is also Beyoncé’s biggest week, by units, since her Lemonade album debuted at No. 1 with 653,000 units (mostly from traditional album sales) on the May 14, 2016, chart. The new effort also lands Beyoncé her biggest streaming week ever.
Cowboy Carter also launches at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums, Americana/Folk Albums and Top Album Sales charts. She’s the first Black woman ever to have led the Top Country Albums list, dating to its January 1964 inception. Cowboy Carter also claims the biggest week for a country album, by units earned, since last July, when Taylor Swift’s Speak Now (Taylor’s Version), opened at No. 1 on the July 22, 2023 chart with 716,000 units.

Black people turned their backs on blues, country, jazz, rock, etc. and act like this woman created a new genre just because she stuck her toes in the water. Expand your horizons and stop waiting for celebrities and popular culture to validate everything for you. That is exactly the case with many people and her latest works.

Everyone isn't hating on Bey, just the usual suspects.

Money buys number 1's. When something is hot you hear it everywhere. Don't hear none of the supposed hottest album in the land anywhere. The Carters are politicians. Clinton supporters.

@9:34, do you not find it weird to always comment about someone you don't like and don't even know you exist?

If blogs would talk about other artist we wouldn't have to comment on how Beyonce and even someone like Taylor are pushed on everyone like they exist in a vacuum. Nobody hating on Bey in her wife beater and cowboy hat and "life changing" album. Everything Bey does is life changing! Not really. Lol
