Ella Langley Joins Taylor Swift and Beyoncé in Rare Billboard Chart Milestone

The country music charts just witnessed something incredibly rare — and it places Ella Langley in historic company alongside two of the biggest global superstars: Taylor Swift and Beyoncé.

Langley has achieved a stunning breakthrough by claiming the No. 1 and No. 2 spots simultaneously on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart, a feat only two women had ever accomplished before.

For a rising artist who only recently began building her mainstream momentum, the moment marks a massive turning point.

Two Songs, One Historic Moment

Langley’s smash single “Choosin’ Texas” continues its powerful run at No. 1 on the Hot Country Songs chart, while her new track “Be Her” surged to No. 2 this week.

The achievement is far from common in the music industry.

In fact, very few artists — male or female — have ever controlled the top two positions on the chart at the same time. And among women, Langley becomes just the third artist in history to do it.

Following in the Footsteps of Taylor Swift

The first woman to accomplish the feat was Taylor Swift back in 2012.

At the time, Swift dominated the chart with “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” at No. 1 while the title track “Red” debuted at No. 2.

That historic moment helped cement Swift’s transition from country prodigy into global pop superstar.

Beyoncé Repeated the Achievement

More than a decade later, another icon joined the exclusive club.

In 2024, Beyoncé surprised the industry when she pivoted into country music with her album Cowboy Carter.

Her single “Texas Hold ’Em” reached No. 1 while “II Most Wanted,” a collaboration with Miley Cyrus, climbed to No. 2 — giving Beyoncé the same rare chart accomplishment.

Now, Ella Langley joins that elite company.

A Breakout Era for Ella Langley

Langley first gained attention with her debut album Hungover, which produced two notable hits on the Billboard Hot 100:

• “You Look Like You Love Me” featuring Riley Green
• “Weren’t for the Wind”

But her upcoming sophomore album “Dandelion” is taking her career to an entirely new level.

“Choosin’ Texas,” the album’s lead single, became a major breakout hit and helped push Langley into the spotlight across multiple charts.

Now with “Be Her” rapidly climbing as well, the singer has solidified one of the biggest momentum surges in country music right now.

Multiple Songs Rising at Once

Langley isn’t just dominating the top two spots — she’s also flooding the chart with additional hits.

Several other songs tied to her upcoming album are climbing the rankings, including:

• “Dandelion”, which recently rose to No. 11
• “The Girl You’re Taking Home,” which is also gaining traction again

Meanwhile, both “Choosin’ Texas” and “Be Her” are expanding their reach beyond country radio, gaining momentum on multiple pop radio charts.

A Rare Chart Club

Langley’s accomplishment places her among an extremely small group of artists who have controlled the top two spots on the Hot Country Songs chart.

Alongside Swift, Beyoncé, and Langley, other artists who have pulled off the feat include:

• Morgan Wallen
• Luke Bryan
• Willie Nelson
• Buck Owens
• Florida Georgia Line
• Dan + Shay

But among female artists, the list remains incredibly short.

And now, Ella Langley’s name is permanently etched into that history.
