Ella Langley’s breakout year just got even bigger.
The 27-year-old country singer’s album Dandelion is the first album by a female country artist in 16 years to send multiple songs to pop radio, a feat last achieved by Taylor Swift with her 2010 album Speak Now.
It puts Langley in rare company. Before Swift, country superstars like Shania Twain and Faith Hill famously crossed over to pop radio with several songs from the same album. Twain did it with 1997’s Come On Over, sending hits like “You’re Still the One” and “That Don’t Impress Me Much” to pop stations, while Hill did it with her 1999 album Breathe.
Swift crossed over repeatedly in her early career, with songs like “Love Story” and “You Belong With Me,” before officially leaving country behind with 2014’s 1989.
For Langley, the crossover caps a remarkable run. Dandelion, her second album, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in April with 169,000 equivalent album units, according to Billboard and Luminate. It was the biggest week of 2026 for any female artist at the time, and the largest week for a country album by a woman in two years.
The album’s lead hit, “Choosin’ Texas,” became a massive crossover smash. The song spent weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and 20 weeks atop Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart.
Langley first broke through in 2024 with “You Look Like You Love Me,” her duet with Riley Green, which became a No. 1 country hit and won multiple awards.
The Alabama native’s success is part of a larger wave of women in country music. With Dandelion and Megan Moroney’s Cloud 9, 2026 became the first year since 2012 that two solo women each had a No. 1 country album.
For now, Langley is following a path few country women have walked, and the last one to take it went on to become one of the biggest stars in the world.
