In just a few weeks, this song has become a massive crossover hit.
Already a #1 song on the Billboard Hot Country chart, Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold ‘Em” is officially the top song on the Billboard Hot 100 chart this week, which encompasses all musical genres and marks her ninth #1 hit as a solo artist (the 13th overall in her career):
It’s the lead single from her forthcoming Renaissance: Act II album, and has also been sent to country radio (after initially only being serviced to Pop, Adult Contemporary, Rhythmic, R&B, and Urban). When “Texas Hold ‘Em” debuted at the top of the aforementioned country chart, it marked the first time a black female artist has debuted at #1 on that chart.
