Beyoncé, the Grammy-winning singer, claims she is no longer motivated by album sales or charts.
In an interview with Hollywood Reporter, the singer stated that her career has progressed to the point where charts and figures are no longer fascinating.
She stated that her latest album, ‘Cowboy Carter,’ exemplifies how she has put her life, suffering, development, and dreams into art.
“There was a time in my life when charts and sales excited and motivated me,” she said.
“Once you have challenged yourself and poured every ounce of your life, pain, growth, and dreams into art, it is impossible to go backwards.
“I am very grateful and humbled for the extraordinary success of the new album.”
Beyoncé said she is, however, impressed to see the likes of Shaboozey, the songwriter, topping song charts.
“When you are breaking down barriers, not everyone is ready and open for a shift,” she said.
“But when I see Shaboozey tearing the charts up and all the beautiful female country singers flying to new heights, inspiring the world, that is exactly what motivates me.”
Beyoncé is a global music icon whose career spans decades.
The singer holds the record for the most Grammy awards in history, having received 32.
In March, she released ‘Cowboy Carter Act II’, the second part of her country album.
The 27-track CD featured notable guests such as Willie Nelson and Dolly Parton.
Miley Cyrus, Post Malone, and Linda Martell are among the contemporary artists represented.
