Ella Langley Holds Nos. 1 and 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 — A First for Women in Country

Ella Langley holds Nos. 1 and 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the same frame, with “Choosin’ Texas” and “Be Her” locking down the top two slots. No woman in country music has ever managed that double, per Billboard — and only one country artist of any kind has come close. The full breakdown below covers all six charts “Choosin’ Texas” leads, “Be Her”‘s new peaks, and the “I Can’t Love You Anymore” entry that gives Langley three simultaneous top-10 hits.

Langley becomes the first woman in country to hold the top two Billboard Hot 100 positions at the same time. Morgan Wallen is the only country precedent. On the May 31, 2025 Hot 100, his “What I Want,” “Just in Case,” and “I’m the Problem” held the top three spots. Langley’s double is a first for women in the format.

Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” Holds at No. 1 — Nine Weeks and Counting

“Choosin’ Texas” from SAWGOD/Columbia Records rules the Billboard Hot 100 for a ninth consecutive week. That streak places the Hope Hull, Alabama singer-songwriter among the most dominant acts on the tally this year. Per Billboard, the track posted 22.1 million official streams and 34.4 million radio airplay audience impressions in its peak week.

“Choosin’ Texas” commands six Billboard tallies simultaneously: the Hot 100, Streaming Songs, Hot Country Songs, Country Streaming Songs, Digital Song Sales, and Country Digital Song Sales. No other track matches that cross-genre sweep right now. Ella Langley’s ‘Choosin’ Texas’ hits No. 1 covers how the single climbed from a No. 39 debut in November 2025 to its first leader in February.

“Choosin’ Texas” also remains the first song by a woman to simultaneously lead the Hot 100, the Hot Country Songs tally, and the radio-based Country Airplay roster. Miranda Lambert co-wrote the track with Langley, Luke Dick, and Joybeth Taylor. Lambert and Ben West co-produced it alongside Langley — making “Choosin’ Texas” a SAWGOD/Columbia Records release built on one of the most successful songwriter partnerships Nashville has seen in years.

Ella Langley Makes History — First Woman in Country to Hold Nos. 1 and 2 Simultaneously

Ella Langley becomes the first woman in country to hold Nos. 1 and 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 with two tracks in the same chart week. Billboard confirms the distinction, placing Langley in a category of one among female country artists. The milestone lands in the same frame as her ninth week at No. 1 — an already exceptional run.

Per Billboard, Morgan Wallen is the only country artist to have previously claimed the top two slots at once on the Hot 100. On the Hot 100 dated May 31, 2025, Wallen’s “What I Want,” “Just in Case,” and “I’m the Problem” occupied positions one, two, and three — the top three. Langley’s double is distinct: the first time a woman in country holds the Billboard Hot 100’s top two positions in the same frame.

Miranda Lambert, who co-wrote and co-produced “Choosin’ Texas” alongside Langley, also claims a share of this milestone. Lambert’s production credit on a No. 1 Hot 100 single — alongside her co-writer role — makes this chart week a landmark for both artists.

Holding even the top two spots on the Billboard Hot 100 is rare across all genres. The tally blends streaming, airplay, and sales data from across the United States. Langley logs the feat with two tracks from the same album — Dandelion — in the same week.

Ella Langley’s “Be Her” Climbs to a New Peak — No. 2 and Rising

“Be Her,” the second Dandelion-era single from SAWGOD/Columbia Records, reaches No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 this frame — a new career high. The track appears on nine Billboard tallies in total, lifting to new peaks on three of them. Langley and “Be Her” now own the top two positions on the most-consumed songs roster in the United States. Explore ‘Be Her’ and the full Dandelion tracklist for every track from the April 10, 2026 release.

“Be Her” climbs to No. 5 on the radio-based Country Airplay chart and No. 17 on the all-genre Radio Songs tally. Country Airplay tracks only country-format radio stations across the U.S.; Radio Songs covers all formats. Both peaks mark career highs for “Be Her” on those specific rosters, extending Langley’s footprint from streaming into terrestrial radio.

Ella Langley and Morgan Wallen’s “I Can’t Love You Anymore” Completes the Triple

Ella Langley holds three tracks inside the Billboard Hot 100 top 10 simultaneously — “Choosin’ Texas” at No. 1, “Be Her” at No. 2, and “I Can’t Love You Anymore” at No. 8. The Langley–Wallen collaboration dips one slot this frame but remains inside the top 10 on the multimetric Hot Country Songs tally, Country Streaming Songs, and Digital Song Sales. “I Can’t Love You Anymore” also climbs to No. 4 on the Streaming Songs roster — a new high in its second week.

Langley and Morgan Wallen’s creative history runs deeper than a single collab. Wallen performed “Cover Me Up” alongside Langley at Ryman Auditorium on November 7, 2025 — the second night of her sold-out Still Hungover Tour finale. “I Can’t Love You Anymore” is the latest chapter in that partnership, now playing out across the Billboard Hot 100 rather than the Ryman stage.

Three simultaneous Dandelion-era tracks inside the Hot 100 top 10 means Langley commands the tally at a scale few artists of any genre reach. All three singles — “Choosin’ Texas,” “Be Her,” and “I Can’t Love You Anymore” — appear on SAWGOD/Columbia Records. Find upcoming dates on the Ella Langley 2026 Dandelion Tour page.

Ella Langley’s Career — From Hope Hull to Nos. 1, 2 and 8 on the Hot 100

Langley grew up in Hope Hull, Alabama, near Montgomery, and signed to SAWGOD/Columbia Records before her first chart entry. Hungover broke her nationally; Dandelion, released April 10, 2026, put her at the summit of the album chart in its first weeks.

It reached No. 1 on the chart dated February 14, 2026, making Langley and Lambert the first collaborators to top the Hot 100 together in those respective roles.
