It is well-known that Beyoncé is intending to release three albums, acts I, II, and III, as part of a thematic series. She’s already shared Renaissance, an electronic dance collection, and Cowboy Carter, which saw the singer-songwriter venture into country music for the first time. Those titles arrived in 2022 and 2024, respectively, and fans have been anticipating that a new collection will drop at some point in 2026.
When the superstar unveiled a new tune titled “Morning Dew (Donk)” on July 4, some immediately guessed that it was the first taste of her forthcoming full-length, which is rumored to be a rock album. That has not turned out to be the case. Instead “Morning Dew (Donk)” – which had already leaked on the internet prior to its official release – will be featured on the upcoming twentieth-anniversary rerelease of her sophomore solo collection B’Day. The track immediately becomes a strong seller in the United Kingdom, earning Beyoncé her first new win on multiple tallies in 2026.
“Morning Dew (Donk)” Launches Inside the Top 20
Of the four U.K.-based charts where “Morning Dew (Donk)” debuts this frame, it launches highest on the Official Hip Hop and R&B Singles chart. That tally ranks the top-selling tracks in those styles in the European country. “Morning Dew (Donk)” kicks off its time at No. 17, and it only manages a top 20 beginning on that one roster.
Beyoncé Scores Her First Debut in Nearly a Year
“Morning Dew (Donk)” brings Beyoncé back to the Official Hip Hop and R&B Singles chart and marks her first debut in almost exactly a year. In July 2025, “Tyrant,” a collaboration with Dolly Parton featured on Cowboy Carter, similarly peaked at No. 17.
“Morning Dew (Donk)” Reaches the Top 40 on Multiple Charts
“Morning Dew (Donk)” also opens within the top 40 on both the Official Singles Downloads and Official Singles Sales charts. On those lists, Beyoncé’s latest enters at Nos. 28 and 33, respectively.
Beyoncé Reaches a Milestone 75 Hits
Beyoncé does hit a special chart milestone as her latest cut, which was recorded decades ago, launches. The superstar has now scored 75 hits under her own name on the rundown. When including her work with Destiny’s Child, that sum grows even larger.
“Morning Dew (Donk)” Is This Week’s Sole Debut
“Morning Dew (Donk)” is the only debut on this week’s Official Hip Hop and R&B Singles chart. Several other tracks return to the roster, including “Timber” by Pitbull and Kesha (No. 30), Outkast’s “Hey Ya!” (No. 38), and “American Boy,” a collaboration between Estelle and Ye, – formerly known as Kanye West – which lands in last place (No. 40).
