“Texas Hold ’Em” became the first number-one single by a Black woman on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart.
Beyoncé released the song on February 11, 2024, alongside “16 Carriages,” following her appearance during Super Bowl LVIII. The track combines country-pop songwriting with banjo, acoustic instrumentation, and a dance-oriented chorus.
It reached number one on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart and helped make Beyoncé the first Black woman to top that chart. The song also became her ninth number-one on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States.
The single was later included on Cowboy Carter, Beyoncé’s 2024 album. It is distinct from “Daddy Lessons,” a country-influenced song from Lemonade that preceded Beyoncé’s formal country-chart breakthrough.
