Ella Langley went from an Alabama barn to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 — and then rewrote its record book. Her 2026 has been nothing short of historic: her second album Dandelion debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, the lead single “Choosin’ Texas” broke the Hot 100 record for most weeks at No. 1, and “Be Her” became the year’s best-selling single in the United States.
Early Life
Elizabeth Camille Langley was born on 3 May 1999 in Hope Hull, Alabama. She grew up with her grandfather’s guitar close at hand and sang in church, where her powerhouse voice first took shape. In 2019 she moved to Nashville to chase music full time, and two years later a TikTok snippet of her song “If You Have To” went viral, introducing her to millions of listeners overnight.
Career
Langley signed a publishing deal with Sony in 2021, and 2023 proved to be her breakthrough year: she signed with Sony Music Nashville and Columbia Records, made her Grand Ole Opry debut and released her debut EP, Excuse the Mess. Her debut studio album, Hungover, arrived in 2024, powered by the Riley Green duet “You Look Like You Love Me,” which won Musical Event of the Year at the 2024 CMA Awards and topped Billboard’s Country Airplay chart. At the 2025 ACM Awards she won New Female Artist of the Year, arriving as the ceremony’s most-nominated artist with eight nods.
Recent News

The lead single, “Choosin’ Texas” (October 2025), reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, making her the first woman to top the Hot 100, Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay charts at the same time — and on 22 September 2026 it broke the Hot 100 record for most weeks at No. 1, a milestone now being chased by other superstars (TAYLOR SWIFT PATIENT ZERO TIPPED TO END ELLA LANGLEY’S RECORD 23-WEEK HOT 100 RUN).
