Beyoncé's road to pop culture royalty and country stardom

Building on the success of her 2022 album 'Renaissance' and the spectacular world tour that followed it, Beyoncé released a surprise new single that's shooting her to the top of the charts in a whole new genre. 'Texas Hold 'Em' was released after the Super Bowl along with another single called '16 Carriages.' The releases came with the announcement that 'Act II,' the second album in her 'Renaissance' trilogy project, will be released on March 29. Based on the first two singles, it's set to be a country-themed album and a strong contrast to Act I's thumping party anthems. 'Texas Hold 'Em' debuted at number one on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart, making her the first Black woman ever to top the chart. This also made her the first woman ever to have number-one hits on both the Hot Country Songs and Hot R&B/Hip-Hip Songs charts. Beyoncé is likely the most well-known singer in the world, and she's one of the few stars who has achieved such a legacy through an almost unbelievably clean, uphill trajectory. It seems with each project or performance she outdoes herself, and at this point she really is her only competition at the top. To celebrate her ongoing success, why not read some interesting facts about Beyoncé's story so far? From her style inspiration to her favorite film, once you're done here you may as well be a part of the Beyhive (if you aren't already).

Bizarre status symbols through history

As a social species, humans spend a lot of time distinguishing themselves within their society. For centuries, we have asserted our social status through the use of recognizable, sought-after symbols, even though they may not serve us any real purpose regarding our survival. Nowadays, the symbols that come to mind are jewels or nice cars, but status symbols from history show that the things we value are constantly changing and are somewhat arbitrary.

Symbols of luxury have also changed according to how much of a novelty they were and how difficult they were to procure at the time, so there are things that you probably have in your home right now which, a few hundred years ago, signified that you were wealthy and important.
