Popular Post Renan90 Posted April 7 Popular Post Posted April 7 Beyoncé Achieves Eighth No. 1 Album on Billboard 200 With 'Cowboy Carter' The set also starts at No. 1 on Top Country Albums, making Beyoncé the first Black woman ever to have led the list. Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter gallops in at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart (dated April 13), debuting with 407,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending April 4, according to Luminate. It's the superstar's eighth No. 1 on the all-genre Billboard 200. With 407,000 units earned, Cowboy Carter claims the biggest week of 2024 and the largest since Taylor Swift's 1989 (Taylor's Version) bowed with 1.653 million units on the Nov. 11, 2023-dated list. Cowboy Carter's launch is also Beyoncé's biggest week, by units, since her Lemonade album debuted at No. 1 with 653,000 units (mostly from traditional album sales) on the May 14, 2016, chart. The new effort also lands Beyoncé her biggest streaming week ever. Cowboy Carter also launches at No. 1 on Billboard's Top Country Albums, Americana/Folk Albums and Top Album Sales charts. She's the first Black woman ever to have led the Top Country Albums list, dating to its January 1964 inception. Cowboy Carter also claims the biggest week for a country album, by units earned, since last July, when Taylor Swift's Speak Now (Taylor's Version), opened at No. 1 on the July 22, 2023 chart with 716,000 units. Cowboy Carter was introduced by the singles "Texas Hold 'Em" and "16 Carriages,” which were released during the Super Bowl festivities on Feb. 11. The tracks debuted and have peaked (through the charts dated April 6) at Nos. 1 and 9, respectively, on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart, marking Beyoncé's first entries on the tally. They have also reached Nos. 1, for two weeks, and 38 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 songs chart. The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new April 13, 2024-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard's website on April 9.

Future, Metro Boomin and Kendrick Lamar's "Like That" scores a second week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart, a week after it launched at the summit. Meanwhile, Beyoncé claims three songs in the Hot 100's top 10: former two-week leader "Texas Hold 'Em" rebounds 11-2; "II Most Wanted,” with Miley Cyrus, debuts at No. 6; and Beyoncé's update of Dolly Parton's classic "Jolene" begins at No. 7. All three tracks are from Beyoncé's album Cowboy Carter, which soars in at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 407,000 equivalent album units in the United States March 29-April 4, according to Luminate – the biggest week for a set in 2024. It also opens as the superstar's first No. 1 on the Top Country Albums and Americana/Folk Albums charts. The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data, the lattermost metric reflecting purchases of physical singles and digital tracks from full-service digital music retailers; digital singles sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites are excluded from chart calculations. All charts (dated April 13, 2024) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, April 9.
