Beyoncé’s Daughter Rumi Carter Just Surpassed Her Sister Blue Ivy Carter for This Record

Look out, Blue Ivy Carter! Beyoncé and JAY-Z's youngest daughter, Rumi Carter, has made music history. The 6-year-old little girl, who is featured on her mother's new song, "Protector," off her hit Cowboy Carter album, has become the youngest-charting female artist to make it onto the Billboard Hot 100 charts. 

Rumi beat out the record set by her older sister, Blue Ivy, who previously held the record when she was on the song "Brown Skin Girl" off The Lion King: The Gift album at the age of 7. 

Rumi narrowly beat out her big sis making the chart at age 6 years and 9 months. 

At the beginning of "Protector," Rumi is clearly heard saying, "Mom, can I hear the lullaby please?" before Beyoncé transitions into the beautiful ballad as an ode to motherhood. 

"And I will lead you down that road if you lose your way / Born to be a protector / Even though I know someday you're gonna shine on your own / I will be your projector," Beyoncé sings to her daughter. 

The song debuted at no. 42 on the Hot 100 chart as Beyoncé becomes the first Black woman ever to top the Country Albums chart with Cowboy Carter. 

And though Rumi surpassed her sister in one category, Blue Ivy still holds the title for the youngest artist ever to appear on any Billboard chart due to her newborn infant breaths and coos that are featured on dad JAY-Z's 2012 hit, "Glory." 

In addition to Blue, 12, and Rumi, 6, Beyoncé and JAY-Z are also parents to Rumi's twin brother, Sir Carter. 

Adding to Rumi's contribution, Cowboy Carter also features cameos and collaborations from Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, Miley Cyrus, Post Malone, Reyna Roberts, Brittney Spencer, Willie Jones and more. 

ET spoke with several of Queen Bey's collaborators over the weekend at the 2024 CMT Music Awards. 

"Literally, this is a dream come true," Roberts gushed to ET on the red carpet. "Beyoncé is my favorite artist and to be here tonight at the CMT Awards, I'm just grateful that all these things are happening in my life." 

"It's really a history lesson about music and, really, about America," Jones added. "I love how she really dug her roots deep for this one and brought out all the stops."
