Beyoncé Knowles-Carter not only shocked fans with her latest two songs she dropped, but she also shocked the Billboard charts. While football fans were watching the big game also known as Super Bowl LVIII, she released two country style songs. Before she dropped the songs in pure Beyoncé marketing genius style, she hinted at the songs' release with a Verizon Super Bowl commercial.

Before fans even got the chance to confirm the new music was released, she announced a new album is on the way called Act II. The album is the second part of a trilogy of albums that started with 2022's Renaissance. While her last album was a tribute to house and disco music, 'Texas Hold 'Em' and 16 carriages seem to go towards the country side.

So far fans are praising and listening as her single "Texas Hold' Em" reached #1 on the billboard country charts. The achievement made the singer become the first Black woman artist to top the Hot Country Songs chart. Also, the achievement gives Beyonce her seventh unique top spot on one of Billboard's multi-metric song charts as a solo artist, says ET online.
