Beyoncé's album 'Cowboy Carter' has made history as the first by a Black female artist to top Billboard’s Top Country album charts, selling 407,000 equivalent album units and marking her eighth #1 album. The album represents a genre shift for the singer, addressing racist backlash and featuring legends like Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson.
