#1: Beyonce

By Carlos Passage

Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold ‘Em” advances to No. 1 on the Hot 100, a week after debuting at No. 2. This is her ninth No. 1 on the chart and her first since her song “Break My Soul” in 2022.

Last week Beyonce made history on the Hot Country Songs chart when “Texas Hold ‘Em” hit No. 1. No black or biracial woman had ever topped the Country chart before.

“Texas Hold ‘Em” is the 1,164th song in its 65-year history to reach first place on the Hot 100.
