Ella Langley’s sophomore set, Dandelion, launches as her first No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart and the all-genre Billboard 200 (dated April 25). The album starts with 169,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States April 10-16, according to Luminate, marking the biggest week for an album by a woman this year.
Concurrently, five of Dandelion’s tracks pollinate the Hot Country Songs top 10, with 16 of the album’s 17 chart-eligible tracks making the list. Langley places second among women for the most titles charted at once; Taylor Swift has surpassed that mark multiple times, led by 22 when Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) made its entrance in 2023. She also charted 21 songs upon the arrival of Red (Taylor’s Version) and 18 with Fearless (Taylor’s Version), both in 2021. Langley matches Beyoncé, who placed 16 titles on the chart with 2024’s Cowboy Carter. Megan Moroney follows with 14, achieved with the release of Cloud 9 in March.
Five tracks from Dandelion are in the Hot Country Songs top 10, placing Langley third among women behind Swift and Beyoncé, who have seen as many and eight and seven chart in the tier, respectively. Zoom to the top five and Langley charts four songs this week — tying Beyoncé for the most ever by a woman in a single week. Over three weeks in 2023 and 2025, Morgan Wallen filled all five spots, including the entire top 10 on the May 31, 2025, list.

No. 38, “Most Good Things Do (Acoustic)” (debut)
Langley’s “Girl You’re Taking Home” also appears at No. 39, though that track is from her 2024 release, Hungover.
Wallen holds the record for the most concurrent placements on Hot Country Songs in a single week: 36, upon last year’s chart start of his 37-song I’m the Problem, one of multiple weeks in which he has placed 30-plus titles. Zach Bryan follows, having charted 23 songs in January thanks to his album With Heaven on Top.
The only artists who have placed 10 or more songs on Hot Country Songs in a single week are Beyoncé, Bryan, Langley, Moroney, Swift, Wallen, Luke Combs, Post Malone and Thomas Rhett.
Meanwhile, Langley and Wallen are set to impact Billboard’s charts dated May 9 together: their duet, “I Can’t Love You Anymore,” is due this Friday (April 24), after they premiered it on Wallen’s Still the Problem tour in Tuscaloosa, Ala., Saturday (April 18).
