(CNN) – Beyoncé's new song “Texas Hold 'Em” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart on Tuesday, the release announced.
Beyoncé's other new country song, “16 Carriages,” is at No. 9 on the charts.
Beyoncé is the second female solo singer to have a single reach the top of the country charts, a feat previously accomplished by Taylor Swift, whose songs “Love Story (Taylor's Version)” and “All Too Well (Taylor's Version)” reached No. 1 Charts peaked in 2021, according to Billboard.
She is also the first woman to top the Hot Country and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts since the charts began in 1958. Morgan Wallen, Justin Bieber, Billy Ray Cyrus and Ray Charles are the only other artists to reach No. 1 on both lists.
Both “16 Carriages” and “Texas Hold 'Em” were released on February 11, after Beyoncé announced the release of new music in a surprise Super Bowl ad for Verizon, accompanied by stunning YouTube videos.
In the ad, titled “Can't B Broken,” “Veep” actor Tony Hale challenged Beyoncé to destroy the cell phone company's 5G capabilities, and she took up the challenge with flying colors.
At the end of the ad, the star can be heard saying: “Okay, they’re ready. Drop the new music,” after making several outlandish attempts to “break up” Verizon’s network.
Moments later, the Grammy winner and Texas native released a clip of “Texas Hold 'Em” on her official website, and full versions of both songs were later released on music streaming platforms, along with the announcement that her eighth solo studio album “Renaissance Act II” would be released on March 29.
Beyoncé's illustrative, cowgirl-inspired fashion choices in her recent performances offered clues to her next sonic phase, the reality of which marks an exciting development across the music industry.
And while the singer's country music era may surprise many who still dance and sing with her more disco-focused 2022 album “Renaissance,” Beyoncé loyalists, known as the Beyhive, expected changes and evolution from his queen Bey.
