"Beyoncé's Country Music Faces Resistance on Radio Airwaves"

Beyoncé released two new country-flavored songs during the Super Bowl, but country radio stations have been slow to add them. While "Texas Hold ‘Em" received some early plays, "16 Carriages" did not register any. However, the situation may change as the songs have been officially serviced to country radio, and some stations have already started playing them due to listener demand. Beyoncé's foray into country music comes as several pop artists, including Post Malone and Lana Del Rey, plan to release country projects, and there is growing interest in the genre from non-traditional artists.
