Ian Fitchuk Talks Working on Cowboy Carter

Klaudia//June 8, 2024
Producer Ian Fitchuk talked to Vulture about working with Beyonce on a song for Kacey Musgraves, as well as on "Cowboy Carter".

It is funny to hear you say you don’t quite consider yourself a country person, because when Cowboy Carter came out and I was looking through the credits, your name jumped out as one of the few Nashville people who worked on that record. How did that come together?

When we started working on star-crossed, I signed a new publishing deal with Sony. I had the crazy idea of, What if we got Beyoncé on a song? It turns out I was able to get that music to her. She really reacted to star-crossed, before the record was done, and sent a beautiful email to Kacey. For a while there, we were going back and forth, and there was a song called “good wife” that it looked for a minute like Beyoncé was going to do a verse on it. In the end, it didn’t work out.

But a couple of years later, I got a call from my publisher saying Beyoncé is working on a new record. I don’t know if it was even described to me as a country record. They were like, “We’re very interested in sending Ink and Dave Hamelin and Dixson to Nashville to try to work on some songs for Beyoncé. Would you be interested in writing some songs with them? And they’d be interested in having Kacey come too.” So myself, Kacey, and the three of them spent a week in Nashville writing songs. There were not a lot of parameters given. I think we did hear “16 Carriages,” but they were like, “Don’t try to do that.”

Beyoncé Surpasses 100 Career Hot 100 Hits, Thanks to 'Cowboy Carter'

Klaudia//April 9, 2024
Beyoncé has a massive week on Billboard’s charts, thanks to her latest LP, Cowboy Carter. Along with charting 23 songs from the album on the Billboard Hot 100 (dated April 13), she ups her career total from 85 entries to 106. As such, she becomes the 17th artist, and only the third woman, to have logged 100 or more titles since the chart began in 1958.

Cowboy Carter debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 (and the Top Country Albums and Americana/Folk Albums charts) with 407,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States in the March 29-April 4 tracking week, according to Luminate – the biggest one-week total of 2024. She also becomes the first Black woman to lead Top Country Albums.

Here’s a look at all 23 of Beyoncé’s entries on the latest Hot 100, all of which are debuts except where noted. (The 27-track Cowboy Carter also includes four mostly spoken-word interludes.)

No. 2, “Texas Hold ‘Em” (up from No. 11; peaked at No. 1 for two weeks)
No. 6, “II Most Wanted,” with Miley Cyrus
No. 7, “Jolene”
No. 16, “Levii’s Jeans,” with Post Malone
No. 26, “Bodyguard”
No. 27, “Blackbiird,” with Tanner Adell, Brittney Spencer, Tiera Kennedy & Reyna Roberts
No. 30, “Ameriican Requiem”
No. 31, “Spaghettii,” with Linda Martell & Shaboozey
No. 37, “Daughter”
No. 38, “16 Carriages” (re-entry; returns to its peak)
No. 39, “Ya Ya”
No. 42, “Protector,” with Rumi Carter
No. 44, “Tyrant,” with Dolly Parton
No. 51, “Riiverdance”
No. 52, “Alliigator Tears”
No. 54, “My Rose”
No. 59, “Just for Fun,” with Willie Jones
No. 60, “II Hands II Heaven”
No. 61, “Sweet * Honey * Buckiin’ ” with Shaboozey
No. 63, “Flamenco”
No. 65, “Desert Eagle”
No. 70, “Oh Louisiana”
No. 87, “Amen”

Beyoncé’s 106 career Hot 100 hits are the 13th-most overall and the third-most among women, after only Taylor Swift (232) and Nicki Minaj (148). (She charted 14 additional hits as a member of Destiny’s Child in 1997-2005, and five as half of The Carters in 2018.)

Here’s a look at all 17 artists in the 100 Hot 100 Hits club:

329, Drake
232, Taylor Swift
207, Glee Cast
186, Lil Wayne
185, Future
157, Kanye West
148, Nicki Minaj
138, Lil Baby
117, Chris Brown
115, Travis Scott
109, Elvis Presley (whose career start predated the Hot 100’s inception)
108, Lil Uzi Vert
106, Beyoncé
105, Justin Bieber
105, Jay-Z
104, YoungBoy Never Broke Again
103, 21 Savage

Notably, Beyoncé (106) surpasses the total Hot 100 hits of her husband, Jay-Z (105). They have harmoniously charted three songs together, led by her first entry, “‘03 Bonnie & Clyde” (billed as by Jay-Z featuring Beyoncé Knowles), which hit No. 4 in December 2002.

Of Beyoncé’s 106 career Hot 100 hits, 61 have reached the top 40; 24 have hit the top 10; and nine have gone to No. 1.

Thanks to their guest appearances on Cowboy Carter, eight artists earn their first Hot 100 entries: Tanner Adell, Willie Jones, Tiera Kennedy, Linda Martell, Reyna Roberts, Shaboozey, Brittney Spencer and Beyoncé’s daughter Rumi Carter. At six years old, Rumi is now the youngest-charting female artist in Hot 100 history. She breaks the record previously held by her sister, Blue Ivy Carter, who was seven when she debuted as featured on Beyoncé, SAINt JHN and Wizkid’s No. 76-peaking “Brown Skin Girl” in 2019.
