BEYONCE is set to bank a whopping £30MILLION from her country album Cowboy Carter after it became Spotify's most streamed record of the year – in one day.

 

The 27-track offering, which features collabs with country icons Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson, along with heavyweights Miley Cyrus and Post Malone, has been met with rave reviews.

 

As well as rejuvenating country music, Queen Bey has shrewdly tapped into the $3billion-a-year genre, which has seen a steady growth in fans and artists.

 

In 2020, country music made up 14.7 per cent of the market share for total music sales and streams in the US, a testament to its enduring popularity.

 

A music industry source said: "Beyonce has cleverly tapped into a hugely lucrative area which is often ignored by artists from other genres.

"She's bulldozed the door down and reworked the style and sound perfectly.

 

"It's estimated that her eighth album is going to be one of her most commercially successful to date, invigorating not only her existing fans, but those loyal to the country genre as well.

 

"It's a genius move, which she has pulled off with aplomb and intelligence by really doing her homework and justice to the genre.”

Meanwhile, generous Beyonce sent huge bouquets of flowers to black female country artists.

 

Among the recipients was singer Mickey Guyton, who posted a snap of the white blooms to her Instagram with a card that read: "Mickey, Thank you for opening doors for me, queen. Keep shining. Love and respect, Beyonce.”

 

Bey also gifted blooms to American singer and reality star K Michelle, who admitted the gesture left her "in tears" as she gets ready to release her first country album.

Ten days before her record dropped on Friday, Beyonce said on Insta that it was born from an experience where she "did not feel welcome", which inspired her to do a deep dive into the history of country music.
