The pop music world is certainly fickle.
Beyonce dropped her new country single, “Texas Hold ‘Em” during the Grammy Awards three weeks ago. It shot to number 1 immediately.
This morning, “Texas Hold “Em” couldn’t hold ’em off. It’s dropped to number 2 behind Benson Boone’s surprise hit rocker “Beautiful Things.” Her other singe, “16 Carriages,” is already down to number 51.
Boone is a TikTok star who’s just 21 years old. He auditioned for “American Idol” but dropped out because he thought he’d have a bigger career on the social platform. Warner Music signed him, and now he’s on his way.
Meantime, Beyonce has done no actual publicity. She doesn’t do interviews or perform on TV. The Queen Bey is 42 and has no clue what’s going on in the music world. She may not care. She has a great publicist, but you can only lead a horse to water. On the cover of her last album, Beyonce sat almost naked on a clear horse. Maybe it was a sign.
