Beyonce's 'Cowboy Carter,' hailed for its historic achievements, faced limited radio support and no nominations at the Country Music Awards, despite its cultural impact.
Despite 'Cowboy Carter' being the first album by a Black woman to top country charts, the lack of radio promotion reflects deeper industry biases and exclusion.
Beyonce described 'Cowboy Carter' as a reflection of her experiences of feeling unwelcome in country music, prompting her to explore Black history in the genre.
The CMAs' voting system and the influence of country radio contribute significantly to nominations and recognition, often sidelining artists who challenge genre norms.
