Beyonce topped the Billboard 200 and the Top Country Albums chart, making her the first Black woman to ever debut at No. 1 on the latter
Beyoncé has topped the Billboard charts once again. Cowboy Carter debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, marking the biggest sales for an album so far in 2024, and No. 1 on the Top Country Albums chart, making Beyoncé the first Black woman to ever debut at the summit, reports Billboard. This is the eighth time Beyoncé’s had a solo album reach No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, too, breaking the previous record for a female artist to do so – set by herself with Renaissance in August 2022.
Cowboy Carter debuted with 407,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending April 4, according to Luminate. Of that number, 232,000 units are from streaming (which Billboard notes was Beyoncé’s biggest streaming week ever), 168,000 are traditional album sales, and 7,000 are track equivalent albums.
Beyoncé Shares Full Credits for New Album Cowboy Carter.The lengthy list includes Pharrell Williams, Jon Batiste, Nile Rodgers, Raphael Saadiq, Jay-Z, The-Dream, and Ryan Tedder.

Her 27-track record features covers of Dolly Parton’s “Jolene,” the Beatles’ “Blackbird,” and Chuck Berry’s “Oh Louisiana,” as well as appearances from Parton, Willie Nelson, Miley Cyrus, Post Malone, Shaboozey, Linda Martell, Willie Jones, Tanner Adell, Brittney Spencer, Tiera Kennedy, Reyna Roberts, Rhiannon Giddens, the War on Drugs’ Adam Granduciel, Foxygen’s Jonathan Rado, Pino Palladino, and her own daughter Rumi Carter.
