Beyoncé’s COWBOY CARTER (Parkwood/Columbia) opens at #1 on the HITS Top 50 with the biggest debut of the year, posting 418k. Of that total, 170k is attributable to sales, which includes assorted vinyl and boxed sets. The album was also powered by 300m+ streams—the most first-week streams by a female artist since Taylor Swift’s 1989 (Taylor’s Version) in October 2023. COWBOY CARTER is also the Sony superstar’s biggest bow since her 2016 blockbuster, Lemonade.
