Beyonc's 6-Year-Old Daughter Makes Music History

Rumi Carter, who was born a twin alongside her brother, Sir, in 2017, joined her mom for a guest appearance on "Cowboy Carter" to historic results.

While most 6-year-olds are busy being first-graders, Rumi Carter is making music history.

Beyonc s little girl has officially become the youngest female artist to ever chart on the Billboard Hot 100 as Protector, a song from Beys new country music album, Cowboy Carter , debuted at No. 42 in its first week  following the albums release on March 29.

Rumis contribution to Protector is brief but significant, asking in the opening seconds of the song, Mom, can I hear the lullaby? Please?

Beyonc, who shares three children with her husband, Jay-Z , has made a notable splash with her album.

Cowboy Carter not only debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 200 , but saw Beyonc sell more albums in the first week than anyone else this year with the equivalent of 407,000 units and become the first-ever Black woman to top Billboards Hot Country Songs chart .

While Beyoncs collaborators have praised her for her first full-fledged effort in the genre, some conservatives have voiced disdain for the pop and R&B artist entering the fray.

Despite this, the record-breaking Grammy winner has received glowing tributes from people as influential as Paul McCartney and Michelle Obama . And now, Beyonc can celebrate Rumi being her second child to chart alongside her.

Her eldest daughter, Blue Ivy, is still the youngest artist to ever land on any Billboard chart, as her breaths and coos recorded shortly after her birth were featured on Jay-Zs Glory in 2012, which debuted at No. 63 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart at the time.

While Beyonc and Jay-Z have reportedly charted 106 and 105 times on the Hot 100, respectively, their two daughters have now officially joined a small pantheon of charting siblings including Noah, Trace and Miley CyrusJaden and Willow Smith and the Jackson 5 .
