Country Star Ella Langley Ranked No. 1 on Power Rankings Amid 2026 Tour

Ella Langley has claimed the No. 1 spot on the country music power rankings for an eighth straight month, adding another major milestone to a year already filled with chart records, major awards and a sold-out tour.

The country singer continues to lead the conversation in 2026 as her hit song “Choosin’ Texas” remains one of the biggest country records of the year. 

At the same time, Langley is taking her music on the road with her arena-headlining The Dandelion Tour, which was recently extended with 21 new dates through October.

Langley’s continued No. 1 ranking comes as her music reaches new highs in the United Kingdom and remains a strong force on the U.S. charts.

“Choosin’ Texas” has been at the center of Langley’s rise. The song, released in the fall of 2025, has continued to grow across multiple markets.

In the U.K., the song recently climbed from No. 5 to No. 3 on the Official Singles Chart during its 30th week. It also moved from No. 8 to No. 5 on the Official Streaming Chart.

The rise gives Langley a new career high in both rankings.

“Choosin’ Texas” is also her only top 10 hit on the U.K. Official Singles Chart so far. Her other songs on the chart include “Be Her” and “Weren’t for the Wind.” “Be Her” recently moved up to No. 63, while “Weren’t for the Wind” reached a new peak at No. 87.

The song has also made a major impact in the United States.

“Choosin’ Texas” has spent 16 weeks at No. 1 on the BillboardHot 100. That run has helped make the song one of the defining hits of Langley’s career.

The song also reached 16 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Streaming Songs chart before Morgan Wallen’s “Been By Now” moved into the top position. Langley’s run now ties “Choosin’ Texas” with “Despacito” by Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee and Justin Bieber for the fourth-longest reign in the history of the Streaming Songs chart.

Despite losing the streaming chart’s top spot, Langley still holds the No. 1 position on the Billboard Hot 100, keeping Wallen’s new release at No. 2.

Ella Langley Takes Her Chart Success on the Road

Langley’s strong chart performance comes as she prepares for the extended run of The Dandelion Tour.

In June, she announced 21 additional dates for the sold-out tour, extending the trek through Oct. 31. The new leg begins Aug. 20 in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

The tour includes major stops at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado and two nights at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. Langley will also perform in cities including Oxford, Jacksonville, Tulsa, Lubbock, Des Moines, Lincoln and Saint Paul.

ERNEST, Kameron Marlowe, Gabriella Rose and Laci Kaye Booth will appear as rotating support acts.

The tour follows a major awards season for Langley. She swept the ACM Awards, winning every award for which she was nominated. She also earned two American Music Award wins.

Her No. 1, Platinum album Dandelion has produced two of the biggest country records of the year. “Choosin’ Texas” became a 4x Platinum hit and made history as the first song by a woman to simultaneously top the Billboard Hot 100, Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay charts.

“Be Her” has also reached Platinum status and became the fastest solo female song to reach No. 1 at country radio in the last decade.

Langley is also continuing to build her catalog through collaborations. Her duet with Morgan Wallen, “I Can’t Love You Anymore,” has remained a major chart hit.

She also reunited with Koe Wetzel for “Jaded,” a song written by Wetzel, Langley, Jordan Schmidt and ERNEST. The pair previously worked together on “That’s Why We Fight,” which was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America and served as the lead single from Langley’s 2023 Excuse the Mess EP.
