Fucking hell, heard that song everywhere and had no idea it was Beyoncé. Am disappointed in her and myself.

Never thought it was that popular over here. Except when men who listen to punk reach a certain age and become briefly obsessed with Johnny Cash.

Radio 2 basically gave over most of their weekend shows to it. Texas Hold 'Em is only a result of the country resurgence, it’s been a growing subculture for years that over the last couple has had a big US mainstream push and because all culture is now American it’s leaking overground here too.
