Beyoncé is breaking into the country genre — and breaking records while doing so.
Beyoncé’s brand-new country-inspired album “Cowboy Carter” now holds the record for the most-streamed album in a single day in 2024 so far, Spotify announced on Instagram on Friday.
“This is also the first time a country album holds the title this year,” Spotify wrote in the post’s caption.

The 27-song project was celebrated for its foray into country music, a move preempted by two singles released during the Super Bowl as part of a Verizon advertisement announcing the new album — “16 Carriages” and “Texas Hold ‘Em.”

According to Billboard, the feat made the global superstar the first woman and first Black woman to have topped both the Hot Country Songs and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs since the lists began in 1958.
