A small-town Oklahoma radio station recently found itself in the midst of controversy when a listener accused it of deliberately refusing to play Beyoncé’s new country songs. However, the situation has since been clarified, and the station has addressed the issue.

Listener’s Allegation and Initial Response

The incident began when a listener claimed that KYKC, a local country station in Ada, OK, had declined to play Beyoncé’s two new country singles when requested. The listener alleged that the station explicitly stated, “they do not play Beyoncé.”

Upon further investigation, it was revealed that the listener’s original request to KYKC was to play the new song, ‘Texas Hold ‘Em’ by Beyoncé. The station, in response, explained that they are a country music station, which led to the misunderstanding.

Clarification and Resolution

Subsequent communication between the listener and KYKC indicated that the station was not initially aware of Beyoncé’s new country releases. It was also confirmed that the station had not yet received the tracks. However, due to the attention garnered by the listener’s post, KYKC ultimately played “Texas Hold ‘Em” on Tuesday afternoon, resolving the issue.

Country Music Scene and Beyoncé’s New Releases

While there has been significant discussion about Beyoncé’s foray into country music, the recent incident involving KYKC was found to be a misunderstanding. Beyoncé’s new songs, “Texas Hold ‘Em” and “16 Carriages,” have not yet appeared on Billboard’s charts, as they were released just two days ago. Nevertheless, “Texas Hold ‘Em” has shown promising performance on streaming charts.
