While it took over mainstream charts earlier this year, country radio stations in the US gave it limited airplay.Similarly, a country music station in Oklahoma made international headlines after it outright refused to play any songs from the tracklist, even upon listener request.

Beyoncé’s ‘Cowboy Carter’ album not receiving any industry nods.The CMA is the most prestigious award ceremony in the country music genre, and those nominated – and those who win – are decided by a group of 7,300 people in the Country Music Association trade group after three rounds of balloting.Arriving at the start of 2024, Bey took over the album charts and made countless headlines for the huge success of her country-inspired record ‘Cowboy Carter’.It also hit some huge milestones in the genre, including making Beyoncé the first Black woman to reach Number One on the US country chart with ‘Texas Hold ‘Em’, the first Black woman to score a Number One country album in the US charts, and gathering support from huge names including Michelle Obama and Paul McCartney.However, despite these accolades, the record has been snubbed at the 2024 CMAs, not receiving any nominations in any categories.This may be due to the limited promotion of the record in the country’s music sphere. While it took over mainstream charts earlier this year, country radio stations in the US gave it limited airplay.Similarly, a country music station in Oklahoma made international headlines after it outright refused to play any songs from the tracklist, even upon listener request.

Beyoncé was set to make an appearance at last week’s event in support of Kamala Harris.Last Thursday (August 22), rumours began spreading that Beyoncé was going to make an appearance at the final DNC event to perform ‘Freedom’ and throw her support behind Harris.

Taylor Swift — seemed poised to run the world yet again in summer 2024.With Swift’s Eras Tour and Beyoncé’s “Renaissance” World Tour having broken the Internet — and many a fan’s bank account — last summer, the stage was set for the two divas to rule again this season after Bey released “Cowboy Carter” in March and Tay dropped “The Tortured Poets Department” in April.But after both superstars topped the charts earlier this year — Beyoncé with “Texas Hold ‘Em” and Swift with “Fortnight” — it was a season of change, as we count down the 10 hottest songs of summer 2024.“They say ‘teamwork makes the dream work,’” sings the power pair behind this twangy, chart-topping duet. The first single from Post Malone’s move from “Rockstar” to country star on his sixth studio album, “F-1 Trillion” — which just debuted at No.

Beyoncé’s team have said she was “never scheduled to perform” at the Democratic National Convention, despite rumours being rife that she would be appearing.Speculation was rampant on Thursday (August 22) that Queen Bey would be the surprise guest at the final day of the DNC, where Kamala Harris formally accepted the party’s nomination for President.Several outlets, including TMZ, reported that the ‘Crazy In Love’ singer would be there, with some others suggesting that Taylor Swift might also be lined up in the Democrats’ back pocket.As it turned out, the headline musical act at the Chicago event was P!nk, who performed her 2017 hit ‘What About Us’ with her 13-year-old daughter Willow Sage Hart. Watch the footage of that below.“Beyoncé was never scheduled to be there,” her representative told The Hollywood Reporter.

Watch the performance below.Earlier in the day, The Chicks had performed the US national anthem a cappella before the assembly of political activists and campaigners, while the Convention had welcomed artists including Stevie Wonder, Lil Jon, Jason Isbell, Maren Morris and John Legend earlier in the week.As Harris concluded her speech at the end of the night, she was played off by Beyoncé’s ‘Freedom’, the official anthem for her presidential campaign.

Beyoncé has launched her own brand of whiskey, made in tribute to her great-grandfather.Branded as SirDavis, the new drink is named after the singer’s paternal great-grandfather, Davis Hogue, who was a farmer and moonshiner in the American South during the Prohibition era.Although it is an American Whiskey, finished, blended, and bottled in Texas, it takes inspiration from Scotch whiskey and Japanese whiskey – with the singer being a particular fan of the latter.Coming in as a split of 51 per cent rye and 49 per cent barley, the spirit underwent a secondary maturation in sherry casks and also arrives as part of a new partnership Bey has launched with Moët Hennessy.“I’ve always been drawn to the power and confidence I feel when drinking quality whiskey and wanted to invite more people to experience that feeling,” Beyoncé said in a new statement (via Line Of Best Fit).“When I discovered that my great-grandfather had been a moonshine man, it felt like my love for whiskey was fated. SirDavis is a way for me to pay homage to him, uniting us through a new shared legacy,” she added.A post shared by Beyoncé (@beyonce)“In partnering with Moët Hennessy, we have crafted a delicious American whiskey that respects tradition but also empowers people to experience something new and unique in the category.

Missy Elliott worked it with two other legendary divas — Beyoncé and Alicia Keys — on the Verizon Ladies First Tour.(Just let that lineup sink in for a minute. I’ll wait …)I was fortunate enough to be in their presence at the now-defunct Meadowlands Arena in East Rutherford, NJ, back in 2004 — and there was no mistaking that Misdemeanor brought all of her “Supa Dupa Fly”-ness to the stage as one of those co-headlining queens.Little did any of us witnessing all of that Black girl magic know that it would take another 20 years before Elliott took her show on the road again in the US — this time on her first-ever headlining trek in the Out of This World Tour with her longtime collaborators Ciara, Busta Rhymes and Timbaland.But man, was it ever worth the wait.In what has been a relatively slow season on the concert scene — perhaps we got spoiled with both Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour and Beyonce’s “Renaissance” World Tour last year — Elliott cooked up the hottest show of the summer at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on Monday night.After launching her North American invasion on July 4 in Vancouver, Elliott had reached a career performance peak as she turned Jay-Z’s house into her own.

Post Malone has said that it “must suck” to have the same levels of fame as Taylor Swift or Beyoncé.The rapper, singer and songwriter – who has collaborated with both of the pop stars in the past – has revealed in a new interview that he wouldn’t want to take on the same degree of fame as he has seen with them both.The topic arose during a new interview with The New York Times, where he looked back at his time collaborating with them both on their 2024 album releases.He worked with Swift as part of her huge album ‘The Tortured Poets Department’, featuring alongside her on the song ‘Fortnight’. During the shooting of the music video, he recalled, the singer had to be fully concealed in order to move around the set without being spotted by paparazzi.“I can’t even imagine being at their level – it must suck,” Posty, whose real name is Austin Richard Post, told the outlet.

Taylor Swift has served Kanye West a savage blow, having beaten him to the number one spot in the album charts, following his latest release.
