From PEOPLE:
The record-breaking album also featured collaborations with country artists from Post Malone and Shaboozey to one of the genre’s pioneers, Linda Martell.
Following the March 29 release of “Cowboy Carter,” the album reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and made Beyoncé first Black woman to ever top the Hot Country Albums chart.
The singer also earned top-10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 with the record’s revised cover of Dolly Parton’s “Jolene,” as well as “II Most Wanted” featuring Miley Cyrus.
Both Beyoncé & Post Malone ventured into country music this year, and both earned #1 Country Songs (Beyoncé didn’t need a Morgan Wallen feature)
Somehow Post Malones song received 4 nominations at the CMAs while Beyoncé’s received 0. pic.twitter.com/QKMng9MJwX — COWBOY CARTER Updates ⭑ (@B7Album) September 9, 2024
