By editorial board on February 26, 2024

Beyoncé‘s history-making No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart was celebrated by a country icon: Dolly Parton.

After Beyoncé’s single “Texas Hold ‘Em” became a hit, turning the superstar into the first Black woman to have a chart-topping track on the Billboard Hot Country chart, Parton released a statement on social media, applauding the accomplishment.

She wrote, “I’m a big fan of Beyoncé and very excited that she’s done a country album. So congratulations on your Billboard Hot Country number one single. Can’t wait to hear the full album!”

Released on 11 February, the song achieved the number-one slot after just four days of tracking, during which time it was streamed 19.2 million times in the US and downloaded 32,000 times.

Beyoncé surprised fans during the Super Bowl by releasing the song, along with her other single, “16 Carriages”. At the same time, she announced that her debut country album, Renaissance II, would be released on 29 March.

In the comments, other artists applauded Parton for championing Beyoncé, including Brittney Spencer, Morgane Stapleton and Queen Latifah.

Beyoncé surprise-released both “Texas Hold ‘Em” and “16 Carriages” during the 2024 Super Bowl to announce her upcoming country album, Act II, which is scheduled to arrive March 29. “Texas Hold ‘Em” quickly became the fan favorite of the two, while “16 Carriages” reached the No. 9 spot on the chart.
