Ella Langley Just Made Country Radio History — First Woman Ever With Two Songs in the Mediabase Top 3
Ella Langley just did something no woman has ever done in the 41-year history of Mediabase country radio.
“Loving Life Again” rose to No. 1 yesterday (Nov. 8) while her Koe Wetzel collaboration “Jaded” sits at No. 3 — making Langley the first female artist ever with two songs inside the Top 3 at the same time.
It is a record week, and it is not even close. “Loving Life Again” is Langley’s 7th career Mediabase No. 1 and the 4th No. 1 from her album Dandelion — joining “Choosin’ Texas,” “Be Her” and “I Can’t Love You Anymore” (with Morgan Wallen).
With that fourth chart-topper from a single album, Langley joins Carrie Underwood as only the second woman ever to score four No. 1s from one album — Underwood did it with Storyteller in 2015. She also joins Lainey Wilson as the only two women ever to notch four No. 1s in a calendar year on Mediabase.
Dandelion debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 169,000 units in its first week. And Langley may not be done yet: “Jaded,” her collaboration with Koe Wetzel, is challenging for No. 1 next.
For Toledo listeners, this is country radio history with a familiar soundtrack. “Choosin’ Texas” has been a staple of the format all year — and now the artist behind it owns a piece of the record book no woman has touched before.
