Ella Langley could join an elite group of artists at the Academy of Country Music Awards on May 17, becoming just the fifth performer to win back-to-back awards for single of the year. She won the award last year for “you look like you love me,” her sexy collab with Riley Green, and is nominated again this year for her crossover smash “Choosin’ Texas.”
There are no sure things at awards shows, but Langley seems to be the clear front-runner in the category. The universally relatable “Choosin’ Texas” has logged 19 consecutive weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs and five nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The four other nominees in the category are Megan Moroney’s “6 Months Later,” Zach Top’s “I Never Lie,” Lainey Wilson’s “Somewhere Over Laredo” and Cody Johnson’s “The Fall.” None of these other nominees has won an ACM Award for single of the year. Wilson was nominated in 2023 for “Heart Like a Truck.” Johnson has been nominated twice – for “Til You Can’t” in 2023 and “Dirt Cheap” last year.
While Langley is this year’s only artist nominee for single of the year who won in that category previously, two producers of this year’s nominated records had won in that category previously as artists. Miranda Lambert, who co-produced Langley’s record with Langley and Ben West, won as an artist with “The House That Built Me” in 2011, “Over You” in 2013 and “Mama’s Broken Heart” in 2014. Kristian Bush, who produced Moroney’s record, won as both an artist and producer as half of Sugarland with Jennifer Nettles for “Stay” in 2012.
