碧昂斯凭借《Cowboy Carter》成为首位登顶公告牌乡村专辑排行榜的黑人女性
Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter continues to make herstory as the queen of KNTRY became the first Black woman to hit No. 1 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart.
碧昂斯的Cowboy Carter 继续创造历史，这位KNTRY的女王成为第一位登上公告牌乡村音乐排行榜冠军的黑人女性。
Released March 29, Bey's eighth solo studio album also topped the Billboard 200, Americana/Folk Albums, and Top Album Sales charts, with sales of 407,000 equivalent album units in its first week of chart eligibility.
碧昂斯的第八张个人录音室专辑于3月29日发行，同时以40.7万张专辑的首周销量荣登公告牌200、美国/民谣专辑和最佳专辑销量排行榜榜首。
Featuring collaborations with country pioneers Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, and Linda Martell, contemporary country crossover stars Miley Cyrus and Post Malone, and a host of upcoming Black country artists, Beyoncé's sprawling Cowboy Carter has been met with both praise and criticism.
碧昂斯与乡村音乐先驱多莉·帕顿、威利·纳尔逊和琳达·马泰尔，当代乡村音乐跨界明星麦莉·塞勒斯和波斯特·马龙，以及一大批即将到来的黑人乡村歌手合作，这张漫无目的的《Cowboy Carter 》受到了褒奖和批评。
Though in the words of the artist herself, Cowboy Carter is not a country album but "a Beyoncé album," the country establishment has been wary of embracing the project, with stalwarts like Parton and Carlene Carter endorsing the superstar's foray into the genre.
虽然用这位歌手自己的话来说，《Cowboy Carter》不是一张乡村专辑，而是“一张碧昂斯的专辑”，但乡村音乐界一直对这个项目持谨慎态度，帕顿和卡琳·卡特等中坚分子支持这位超级巨星进军乡村音乐流派。
"I've caught wind of some negativity over the release of Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter, her new country album," Carter, daughter of June Carter Cash, said in a statement upon the album's release. "As a Carter Girl myself and coming from a long line of Carter Girls, I'm moved to ask why anyone would treat a Carter this way? She is an incredibly talented and creative woman who obviously wanted to do this because she likes country music, In my book, she's one of us Carter women and we have always pushed the boundaries by trying whatever music we felt in our hearts and taking spirit-driven risks."
卡特是琼·卡特·卡什的女儿，她在专辑发行后发表声明说:“我听到了一些关于碧昂斯新乡村专辑《Cowboy Carter》的负面消息。”“作为一名‘卡特女郎’，而且是一长串‘卡特女郎’的后代，我不禁要问，为什么有人会这样对待‘卡特女郎’?”她是一个非常有才华和创造力的女人，显然她想这样做是因为她喜欢乡村音乐。在我看来，她是我们卡特女人中的一员，我们总是通过尝试我们心中的任何音乐来突破界限，并承担精神驱动的风险。”
However, that kind of polarizing reaction is par for the course as the album itself was born of an experience where the 42-year-old singer did not "feel welcomed" in country — a 2016 performance with The (then-Dixie) Chicks at the CMA Awards.
然而，这种两极分化的反应是意料之中的，因为这张专辑本身就诞生于这位42岁的歌手在乡村音乐中“感到不受欢迎”的经历——2016年，她与当时的迪克西小鸡乐队在CMA颁奖典礼上的表演。
Still, Cowboy Carter has proven a groundbreaking hit. Prior to topping the Country Album chart, the lead single "Texas Hold 'Em" went straight to No. 1 on Billboard's Country Songs chart, another historic first for a Black woman.
尽管如此，《Cowboy Carter》还是被证明是一部突破性的成功之作。在登顶乡村专辑排行榜之前，主打单曲《Texas Hold 'Em》直接登上了公告牌乡村歌曲排行榜的冠军，这也是黑人女性的又一个历史性的第一次。
