Year in Review 2024: Beyonce Flies Above Country Controversy to Make History With ‘Cowboy Carter’

Be it for the good, bad, ugly, or downright shocking, 2024 was full of monumentally memorable moments!

Now, as the year draws to a close, That Grape Juice is reflecting on the occasions that rocked – and to some degree maybe even reshaped – the Urban and Pop cultural landscape as we know it.

Next, we celebrate Beyonce’s seismic success with her Country album ‘Cowboy Carter.’

Join us below…

After rocking the world with a ‘Renaissance’ like no other, Beyonce made a splash in the Country music sphere with her eighth studio album, ‘Cowboy Carter.’

Preceded by lead single ‘Texas Hold ‘Em,’ the track saw the superstar make history when it dually hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard’s Country tally – making Queen Bey the first Black woman to reach #1 on the coveted count.

Embraced in earnest by the BeyHive, ‘Cowboy Carter’ shook off shuns from the traditional Country music scene and received critical acclaim for its genre-blending artistry.

Commercially, the LP delivered in earnest. Opening at #1 on the Billboard 200 with 407,000 units sold first-week. It has since been certified Platinum by the RIAA.

Further lighting a match under the project, Beyonce blazed the NFL Christmas Day Game with a Halftime Show built around the bops on the album.
