Jimmy Allen has done it. Kane Brown, Lil Nas X and Blanco Brown too. Thatâs over the past few years. Of course thereâs Darius Rucker as well.
Beyoncé is the first black woman to do it, but that more so speaks towards how the genre views black women and how hard it is to breakthrough.
Not going to happen in country music as the fan base wonât go for it.Hate to say it but how long until other elements are brought in heavily. Over sexualized thots & someone wanting shoot they opps

Good. I've fallen down the Black country rabbit hole and I don't want to come out. This bop should have been the song of the summer two years ago. Justice for Willie Jones!
The kind of fan base that wonât tolerate that kind of rhetoric seeping into their genre.
The country bros wouldnât care for it and the women definitely wouldnât tolerate it.

at how y'all saying that Beyonce made these black country artists gain buzz when they were doing that even before she focused on country
dude, that's literally what happened though. Exposure leads to awareness, leads to interest. It's not rocket science.

âItâs incredibly encouraging to see this kind of impact coming out of COWBOY CARTER,â NyAsia Burris, Spotifyâs lead, artist partnerships, R&B, tells The Hollywood Reporter. âNot only does this showcase the strength of the Spotify ecosystem and how Spotify drives discovery, but it speaks volumes to the influential power of BeyoncĂ©. The proof is in the numbers â this album has created a cultural movement and is uplifting Black creators to new levels of visibility. Itâs only been three days since release, so weâre just beginning to see the true long-term impact of this project.â
Cowboy Carter set a record on Spotify and became the most streamed album in a single day this year. Twenty-three songs from the 27-track album debuted on Spotifyâs U.S. top 50 chart on Saturday, with BeyoncĂ©âs cover of Dolly Partonâs âJoleneâ â with some additional new lyrics â reaching the No. 3 spot.
Cowboy Carter features the singles â16 Carriagesâ and âTexas Hold âEm,â which topped both the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 chart and its Hot Country Songs chart, making her the first Black woman to achieve the feat. The album also features guests like Miley Cyrus, Post Malone, Willie Nelson, BeyoncĂ©âs 6-year-old daughter Rumi Carter, and Linda Martell, one of the pioneers for Black acts in country music and the first Black woman to perform solo at the Grand Ole Opry.

Speaking of Kelly
She "did the game dirty" too right?
Nah breh didn't you know? Beyoncé "stole" Amerie's sound. Rich Harrison didn't write or produce any of those songs, especially not the one above, nor is that his actual sound
Kelendria Rowland can do no wrong.
Stop the cap.
