Beyoncé surprised fans earlier this year with a bold move into the country music genre, releasing two singles shortly after the Super Bowl. One of these singles, 'Texas Hold ‘Em,' quickly climbed to the top spot on the Hot 100 chart, garnering widespread acclaim from both country and pop music enthusiasts.

'Texas Hold ‘Em' has now made its mark on the Pop Airplay chart, rising from No. 11 to No. 8 in the latest rankings. This achievement is particularly noteworthy as the song's country sound stands out among the typically pop-dominated top 10 list.

This success on the Pop Airplay chart marks Beyoncé's first top 10 hit in about a year, following her previous single 'Cuff It' from the album Renaissance. 'Texas Hold ‘Em' is not only gaining traction on pop radio but also making waves on the Adult Pop Airplay chart, climbing to No. 9 from its previous position at No. 10.

While the single continues to gain momentum on various pop radio charts, its performance on the Adult Contemporary chart has seen a slight decline, dropping to No. 23. Despite this dip, there is potential for 'Texas Hold ‘Em' to rise again, especially given the heightened interest in Beyoncé following the recent release of her album 'Cowboy Carter.'

With its crossover appeal and chart-topping success, 'Texas Hold ‘Em' is proving to be a versatile hit that resonates with audiences across different genres and radio formats. Beyoncé's foray into country music has undoubtedly paid off, solidifying her status as a dynamic artist capable of transcending musical boundaries.
