Ella Langley just made country chart history
One album, four top 10s at country radio, and the first woman this decade to pull it off.
In brief
One album, four top 10s at country radio, and the first woman this decade to pull it off. Dandelion has given Ella Langley four Country Airplay top 10s, a feat no woman has managed since Kelsea Ballerini a decade ago. Originally reported by Billboard.
A fourth hit lands
"Loving Life Again" climbs four spots to No. 8 on Billboard's Country Airplay chart dated Sept. 19, drawing 18.6 million audience impressions, up 14% over Sept. 4-10.
First woman of the decade
It is Langley's seventh Country Airplay top 10 and the fourth from Dandelion, making it the first album by a woman in the 2020s to send four songs into the format's top tier.
“the first album by a woman in the 2020s to generate four top 10s at the format”
Three No. 1s came first
"Choosin' Texas" led for three weeks in February and March, "Be Her" ruled four weeks in June, and "I Can't Love You Anymore" with Morgan Wallen took two weeks in August.
The album won't move
Released April 10, Dandelion has spent 17 weeks and counting at No. 1 on Top Country Albums. The Wallen duet was added to the track list after its April 24 arrival.
The last women to do it
No woman had managed four Country Airplay top 10s from one album since Kelsea Ballerini's The First Time in 2015-17. Carrie Underwood's Storyteller did it just before, in 2015-16.
Elsewhere on the chart
Luke Bryan's "Country and She Knows It" hits No. 10, his 38th top 10 since 2007, tying Jason Aldean. Luke Combs' "Be By You" leads a fourth week with 33.1 million impressions.
The headline
Dandelion has given Ella Langley four Country Airplay top 10s, a feat no woman has managed since Kelsea Ballerini a decade ago.
