Beyoncé’s ‘Cowboy Carter’ Bows at No. 1, Earning Biggest Debut of 2024 So Far


Beyoncé's 'Cowboy Carter' debuts at No. 1 with the biggest sales debut of 2024, and marks the first time a Black woman bowed atop the country chart.

“Cowboy,” which released on March 29, arrives with 407,000 equivalent album units, giving Beyoncé her eight topper on the chart. The album, which is Beyoncé’s biggest sales week since 2016’s “Lemonade” (653,000 units), also makes her the first Black woman to ever debut at No. It’s the best sales week for a country album since last July, when Swift’s “Speak Now” landed at the summit with 716,000 copies.
