Ella Langley Joins Shania Twain and Carrie Underwood in the Record Books—and It’s Not for “Choosin’ Texas”
Ella Langley has become the third woman in country music history to score at least four No. 1 country radio hits from one album, joining Shania Twain and Carrie Underwood. The milestone matters because her latest chart-topper, “Loving Life Again”, adds to a rapid run of success from her album *Dandelion*.
“Loving Life Again” is the fourth *Dandelion* song to reach No. 1 on Country Airplay, after “Choosin’ Texas”, “Be Her” and “I Can’t Love You Anymore”. Twain had six No. 1s from *The Woman in Me* and Underwood had four from *Carnival Ride*. Langley has also reached six No. 1 hits in 99 weeks, the fastest of any woman, while “Choosin’ Texas” recently became the longest-running chart-topper in Billboard Hot 100 history.
In short
- Langley has four Country Airplay No. 1s from *Dandelion*.
- She reached six No. 1 hits in 99 weeks, a record for women.
- “Choosin’ Texas” set a Billboard Hot 100 chart-topping record.
Explained simply
Country radio charts rank songs by their airplay on country music stations. A No. 1 hit is a song that reaches the top of that chart, and an album can produce several such hits as different tracks are released to radio.
Ella Langley is a country singer whose album Dandelion has produced four Country Airplay No. 1s. Shania Twain and Carrie Underwood are earlier country stars who reached the same album milestone, with six chart-toppers from The Woman in Me and four from Carnival Ride respectively.
Several No. 1 songs from one album can indicate sustained success across multiple releases. Comparing how many hits artists achieve, and how quickly, gives a way to place a newer career alongside established names in country music.
