Numbers don’t lie. Same goes for Beyoncé’s country album, “Cowboy Carter,” which has experienced a huge uptick on the Billboard charts since its release in late March.
Now we all know, initially, the album debuted at No. 1 across various rankings but then began to slip and slide, and let’s be real – that happens.
Forbes reports that just this week, “Cowboy Carter” has shot up like nobody’s business, on the American charts, regaining significant popularity.
Get this, according to Billboard, the album sold (combined all streaming and comparable metrics) an additional 24,000 copies in the past tracking week, with an eye popping 23,000 of those being vinyl sales. So if you’re not good at math, this represents a 3,550% increase in vinyl sales from the previous week. Diving into the album’s sales across all formats, including CDs and digital downloads, it grew by 1,673%.
Why? Well, perhaps the surge in sales is attributed to the release of the deluxe edition on vinyl, which spurred a wave of purchases. A ha, that’s all you have to do, huh? Take note up and coming artists with massive marketing machines. Once these records shipped, they were counted towards the Billboard totals, showing a strong interest in the extended version of the album. And boom, there you have it.
So this all resulted in “Cowboy Carter” take back control of the No. 1 spot on the Vinyl Albums chart, marking its seventh week at the top and its second non-consecutive turn in that position.
Guess country is winning, well at least when Beyoncé does it her way like the Queen she is.
