LAGOS, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA) –Music icon, Beyoncé revealed that she is no longer driven by music chart performance and sales numbers.
The 32-time Grammy winner, who just released her latest album “Cowboy Carter,” explained that her focus has shifted beyond the metrics that once fueled her drive.
“There was a time in my life when charts and sales excited and motivated me,” Beyoncé told the publication. “But once you have challenged yourself and poured every ounce of your life, pain, growth, and dreams into art, it is impossible to go backwards.”

The singer, who is considered the most-awarded artist in Grammy history, expressed profound gratitude for the success of her new album, but said her creative fulfillment now comes from a deeper place.
“I am very grateful and humbled for the extraordinary success of the new album,” she said. “But what truly motivates me is seeing other artists, like Shaboozey, breaking down barriers and inspiring the world.”
Beyoncé emphasized that not everyone is ready to embrace the shifts she has undergone in her illustrious career, which has spanned decades.
“When you are breaking down barriers, not everyone is ready and open for a shift,” she observed. “But when I see Shaboozey tearing the charts up and all the beautiful female country singers flying to new heights, that is exactly what motivates me.”
