She is called the queen for a reason. Beyonce is back in the news and ruling the charts with her new song Texas Hold Em. In fact, on Wednesday, Beyonce became the first Black woman to top the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts with her latest track. 
 
Her song was released on February 11, during the Super Bowl, and instantly debuted at the top of the Hot Country Songs chart. This isn't the first time that Beyonce's song has topped the Billboard charts but what makes it special is that she has topped the Hot 100 charts for the eighth time in her starry career as a solo artist. &nbsp; 
 
Her forthcoming album - 16 Carriages - has secured the Number 9 spot on the country music chart. 
 
Texas Hold Em sits tight on its debuting position No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, right above Kanye West and Ty Dollar $ign's brand-new song Carnival. Beyonce's 16 Carriages grabbed the 38th spot on the Hot 100. 
 
About the track Texas Hold Em 
 
The new Beyonce song is the lead single of her upcoming album, which is a full-fledged country collection. Scheduled to release on March 29, the album has been proclaimed the ‘Act II’ of the three-act music project that started with the 2022 masterpiece, Renaissance album. Texas Hold Em has been particularly praised for reclaiming country music's Black roots. 
 
Controversy around Texas Hold Em&nbsp; 
 
While the new track is topping charts it was also shrouded in controversy when the country radio station KYKC rejected a request to play it. Its general manager, Roger Harris, denied the request, stating that they don't play Beyonce because they are a country music station. Beyonce is known to be a R&amp;B legend.&nbsp; 
 
Harris' reply went viral, launching a new X (formerly Twitter) trend, #Beyonceiscountry. A spokesperson of the station eventually clarified that they had no idea the song had country inclinations. 
 
In addition to topping the country charts, Beyonce is the first woman to lead the R&amp;B/ hip-hop charts since the genre charts were instituted in 1958. She was also the only second woman to debut at the No 1 country song spot- the other being Taylor Swift.

Beyonce creates Billboard history with her new country song Texas Hold Em

American pop star Beyonce Knowles-Carter has surprised fans with an early release of her single ‘Break My Soul’ from upcoming album ‘Renaissance’, setting social media ablaze with song lyrics that some say tap into rising worker anger at conditions. 
 
“I`m gonna find new drive / damn, they work me so damn hard / Work by nine, then off past five /And they work my nerves, that`s why I cannot sleep at night,” sings the artist, adding "I just quit my job." 
 
Some commentators said the words channeled the post-pandemic "Great Resignation" in which businesses are struggling to find enough employees. 
 
"Beyoncé saw that it was the summer of late-millennial burnout, the labor movement, ‘90s revival, and queer pride and was like, `Yeah, I can make a song about that`," wrote Patu Patel, editor-in-chief of music magazine Pitchfork on social media platform Twitter.

Knowles-Carter has not commented on the meaning of the lyrics. 
 
The single was co-written by her husband Sean Carter (Jay-Z) and samples singer Robin S`s 1990s dance classic ‘Show Me Love’ as well as featuring gay American rapper Big Freedia`s song ‘Explode’. 
 
The song debuted on Tidal, the streaming service co-owned by Jay-Z, and dropped at midnight EST (5am GMT) on June 21 on other major music streaming services, with an accompanying lyric video published on YouTube. 
 
Knowles-Carter, 40, released ‘Be Alive’, her Oscar-nominated contribution to the soundtrack of the movie ‘King Richard’, in November 2021. She also launched the soundtrack album ‘The Lion King: The Gift’, with the songs appearing in both the ‘Black is King’ and ‘Lion King’ movies in July last year. 
 
However, Renaissance (Act 1) is the artists’ first solo studio album since Lemonade was released in April 2016. The record will include 16 tracks and is set to launch on July 29. 
 
She is the most nominated woman and the most awarded singer in Grammy Award history, winning a total of 28 awards and 79 nominations for her music, including her work in music group Destiny`s Child and ‘The Carters,’ an album co-released with her husband.

She is also the eighth-most awarded artist at the Billboard Music Awards.

Does Beyonce's new summer song channel the 'Great Resignation'?

Singer Beyonce surprise dropped her new single `Break My Soul` three hours before the announced release time from her forthcoming seventh solo studio album `Renaissance`. 
 
Also in the writing credits are Jay-Z, Adam Pigott (a.k.a BlaqNmilD, who`s worked with Drake, Quavo, Megan Thee Stallion and many others), Freddie Ross, a.k.a Big Freedia, and the writers of Robin S`s 1993 hit `Show Me Love`, which is prominently sampled in the song, reports `Variety`. 
 
For her part, Beyonce is on message with both her return and the disco theme of the song: The title is flipped by saying "You won`t break my soul". 
 
It`s filled with dancefloor-friendly lines like: "Motivation/I`m looking for a new foundation/ I`m on that new vibration/ I`m building my own foundation" and a repeated exhortation of "Everybody". 
 
In an apparent slight to major streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music, the song initially appeared only on Tidal, the streaming service co-owned by Beyonce`s husband, Jay-Z, three hours before its announced release time.

Beyonce has a history of this: Her 2016 `Lemonade` album was available only on Tidal for three years, a move that likely cost her millions in streaming royalties, reports `Variety`. 
 
Beyonce announced on June 16 that the long-expected album will be arriving on July 29. 
 
Sources told `Variety` that the album will feature both dance and country-leaning tracks, the source says, with contributions from hit songwriter Ryan Tedder, who co-wrote her 2008 hit `Halo` as well as hits for Adele, Taylor Swift, the Jonas Bros. and his own group, OneRepublic.

Also said to be involved is Raphael Saadiq, who has crafted hits for Mary J. Blige, D`Angelo, Stevie Wonder, John Legend and Andra Day as well as his own solo albums, and executive-produced a `Seat at the Table`, Beyonce`s sister Solange`s widely praised 2016 album. 
 
It was unclear whether the country songs will appear as a separate album, or as part of the first edition of `Renaissance`. 
 
Country is not new terrain for the singer: `Daddy Lessons`, from 2016`s `Lemonade`, is heavy on twang and was even covered by the Chicks (then known as the Dixie Chicks). 
 
Fans have already sleuthed information suggesting that the album will contain 16 tracks, and the fact that it is a multi-part release is clear from the face that it is billed as `Act 1`.

Beyonce`s website also featured pre-orders on four different boxed sets for the album, billed `Pose` 1-4 and including a CD, T-shirt and a box. However, since they all ship on the day of the album`s release, it seems likely that they`re just different packages for `Act 1`. 
 
The singer sounded the alarm that something was coming earlier this month, when she wiped her social media accounts, which, as evidence by the lack of profile pictures, still have not been fully repopulated.
