Just when you least expect it, it suddenly happens. Beyoncé suddenly topped charts everywhere with her new single Texas held themand it takes longer than you think.

This ended a long period when Beyoncé was no longer topping the charts. He may still have the superstar label, and his albums are always top hits, but the biggest hit singles date back years. If I were a boy And Circle of light dating from 2008, Crazy in love from the previous year. Even in the UK top spot, Beyoncé hasn’t topped the list since 2010.
Texas held them is the first single from the album Act II which will be released at the end of March. This success was a great relief for Beyoncé, because the singer chose a completely different genre than usual. This success should relieve the stress leading up to the album’s release.
This success is also thanks to Tiktok. This song makes people dance a lot and of course one should not underestimate its impact. Kylie Minogue also discovered and launched TikTok last year Blackout-Do you dance. With the song he scored his biggest hit in ten years, and even won a Grammy. Beyoncé knows better than anyone that you have to involve social media in your songs to appeal to the newest generation. It looks like 2024 could be Beyoncé’s year.
