Beyonce first black woman with No. 1 country song for ‘Texas Hold ‘Em’

She’s ready for “Act II.”

Beyoncé has officially become the first black woman to secure the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs — since its inception in 1958 — with her track “Texas Hold ‘Em.”

The achievement was announced by Billboard on Tuesday.

Beyoncé’s tune also holds the No. 2 slot on the Hot 100 chart, behind Jack Harlow’s “Lovin on Me.”

The 32-time Grammy Award winner shocked listeners earlier this month when she appeared in a Super Bowl commercial for Verizon — and casually revealed she would be releasing a brand-new album.

Simultaneously, she dropped two singles: “16 Carriages” and the aforementioned “Texas Hold ‘Em.”

According to the “Crazy in Love” singer, her upcoming album — which will debut on March 29, 2024 — is “Act II” of the “Renaissance,” which began in 2022 with “Act I.”

“Texas Hold ‘Em” has since received 19.2 million streams, while “16 Carriages” has garnered 10.3 million and is No. 9 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs.

The songs have recently been the subject of controversy when an Oklahoma radio station refused a caller’s request to play them.

KYKC told the caller, “We do not play Beyoncé on KYKC as we are a country music station.”

Fans were outraged by the memo, with some accusing the station of “blatant racism and discrimination.”

“The refusal to play these songs raises concerns about the station’s stance on artists of color. Whether intentional or not, such action contributes to the narrative of racial bias within the country community,” one commenter wrote.

South Center Oklahoma Radio Enterprises (SCORE) general manager Roger Harris explained that KYKC isn’t playing the new Beyoncé songs due to the size of the market.

“We are a small market station. We’re not in a position to break an artist or help it that much, so it has to chart a little bit higher for us to add it,” Harris said in a statement.

“But we love Beyoncé here. We play her on our [other top 40 and adult hits stations] but we’re not playing her on our country station yet because it just came out.”

The radio station appeared to change its tune when it shared a picture of “Texas Hold ‘Em” on X, writing, “Lots of call coming in for Beyoncé’s ‘Texas Hold ‘Em.’ It’s coming up in minutes.”

“Dukes of Hazzard” star John Schneider also found himself in hot water after seemingly comparing the artist to a dog marking its territory.

“They’ve got to make their mark, just like a dog in a dog walk park. You know, every dog has to mark every tree, right? So that’s what’s going on here,” Schneider, 63, said while appearing on conservative media outlet One America News.

The comment came after Schneider was asked about the Oklahoma radio station initial decision to not play Beyoncé’s country songs.
