It's been less than a day since Beyoncé finally dropped her Cowboy Carter album and the project is already breaking records.
The album is officially Spotify's most-streamed album in a single day in 2024, the streaming service announced on Friday (March 29). This is the first time a country album has held the title this year. Prior to the album's release, “Texas Hold 'Em” had been streamed over 200 million times.
This is not the only record that the album broke. Cowboy Carter has the biggest debut to date, earning more first-day streams on Amazon Music worldwide than any of her previous albums. The album also marks the most first-day streams for a country album by a female artist in Amazon Music history.
The 27-track album features an amazing list of stellar collaborators, including; Miley Cyrus, Post Malone, Dolly Parton, Willie NelsonLinda Martell, Tanner Adell, Willie Jones, Raphael Saadik, The dream, Shaboozey and more. The project also includes the Billboard Hot 100 chart topper, “Texas Hold 'Em.”
“This album has been over five years in the making,” Bey wrote of the project on Instagram earlier this month. “It was born out of an experience I had years ago where I didn't feel welcome…and it was very clear that I wasn't. But because of this experience, I took a deeper dive into the history of Country music and studied our rich music archive. It's great to see how music can unite so many people around the world, while amplifying the voices of some of the people who have dedicated so much of their lives to educating our musical history.”
