A UK chart double call for Beyoncé, as Cowboy Carter And its hit single „Texas Hold 'Em” set the pace for the race to No. 1.
As previously reported, Cowboy Carter (via Columbia/Parkwood Entertainment) is ahead of the competition at the midweek point. According to the Official Charts Company, Bey's country-themed collection currently outsells any other top 5.
with Cowboy Carter Breaking through the gates, „Texas Hold 'Em” rose 2-1 on the midweek chart and is projected to enter its fifth consecutive week at the summit.
Two more cuts from Bey's new LP cracked the top 10, „Jolene” (at No. 5) and „II Most Wanted” with Miley Cyrus (No. 8). If both tracks hold their course, Beyoncé's career tally of UK Top 10 hits will rise to 24.
