Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter rebounds on three Billboard charts as her tour returns to the U.S., with … More
Beyoncé spent much of June in Europe, performing to massive crowds on her Cowboy Carter Tour. The superstar played half a dozen dates in London before heading to Paris for three nights. As the month came to a close, she then returned to the United States and headed to her hometown of Houston, where she once again delivered show-stopping performances — this time to what may have been her most rapturous audience yet.
As Beyoncé makes her way back to America, Cowboy Carter gallops up the Billboard charts, which is a phenomenon that seems to occur whenever she travels to seemingly any nation.
Beyoncé’s Album Lifts Across Several Billboard Charts
Cowboy Carter can currently be found on three Billboard rankings, all of which track total consumption, blending both sales and streaming activity. The full-length rises highest on the Top Americana/Folk Albums list, where it returns to the top 10, ascending from No. 12 to No. 9. The same project finds its way back to the top 20 on the Top Country Albums list, jumping from No. 28 to No. 20.
The greatest lift for Cowboy Carter comes on the Billboard 200, where it shoots from No. 145 to No. 89 — just one week after celebrating its first full year on the ranking of the most consumed albums and EPs in the nation.
Cowboy Carter Grew By 27%
Consumption of Cowboy Carter grew considerably as Beyoncé’s tour returned to American soil. Luminate reports that during the past tracking period, the full-length moved 12,700 equivalent units. That’s up nearly 27% from the previous frame, when it shifted just 10,000. Included in that sum are 1,100 pure purchases — a very healthy figure for a collection that has already been out for a year.
Beyoncé and Dolly Parton Chart Together
One track from Cowboy Carter also finds its way back to a Billboard tally. Somewhat surprisingly, it’s not one of the singles officially pushed from the full-length. Instead, “Tyrant,” Beyoncé’s collaboration with country star Dolly Parton, reappears not on any country ranking, but the Hot R&B Songs chart. The two legends nearly land inside the top 10, as their duet reenters at No. 11 after previously peaking at No. 5.
