AceShowbiz - Less than a day after its release, Beyonce Knowles' newest album "Cowboy Carter" has already set multiple records. Spotify announced that it is their most-streamed album in a single day in 2024, making it the first country album to hold that title this year.
Before the album's release, the single "Texas Hold 'Em", which is a the Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper, was streamed over 200 million times. Furthermore, "Cowboy Carter" has the biggest debut to date on Amazon Music globally, earning more first-day streams than any of Beyonce's previous albums. It also marks the most first-day streams for a country album by a female artist in Amazon Music's history.
The 27-track album features a star-studded list of collaborators, including Miley Cyrus, Post Malone, Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, Linda Martell, Tanner Adell, Willie Jones, Raphael Saadiq, The-Dream, Shaboozey and more.
"Cowboy Carter" is the second installment in a potential trilogy following 2022's "Renaissance." It is a departure for Beyonce, marking her first studio album in the country genre.
In an Instagram post earlier this month, Beyonce expressed her motivation for the album, "This album has been over five years in the making. It was born out of an experience that I had years ago where I did not feel welcomed... But, because of that experience, I did a deeper dive into the history of Country music and studied our rich musical archive."
"It feels good to see how music can unite so many people around the world, while also amplifying the voices of some of the people who have dedicated so much of their lives educating on our musical history," she continued.
Fans have taken to social media to celebrate the highly-anticipated album, with Miley and Post expressing their admiration. The album is currently streaming across music platforms.
