Country Star Earns 30 Million Monthly Listeners Amid 2026 Tour

Country music star Ella Langley has reached a major career milestone after surpassing 30 million monthly listeners on Spotify, becoming the second-most streamed country singer on the platform behind Morgan Wallen.

The achievement comes during a breakout year for the 27-year-old singer-songwriter, whose hit single "Choosin' Texas" continues to dominate charts while her 2026 Dandelion Tour attracts fans across the United States.

Langley's rise has been fueled by the unprecedented success of "Choosin' Texas," which remains one of the biggest country songs of the year. The track has spent 26 weeks at No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart and recently surpassed Morgan Wallen's "Last Night" to become the fifth-longest-running leader in the chart's history.

The song has also helped elevate Langley to new heights in streaming. As she crossed the 30-million-listener mark on Spotify, she solidified her position among country music's biggest names and one of the genre's fastest-rising stars.

Ella Langley's Chart Dominance Continues

The success of "Choosin' Texas" shows no signs of slowing down.

In addition to leading the Hot Country Songs chart, the single currently tops multiple Billboard rankings. It has also prevented several of Langley's own songs from reaching No. 1, including "Be Her" and her collaboration with Morgan Wallen, "I Can't Love You Anymore."

On Billboard's Digital Song Sales chart, "Choosin' Texas" once again held the top spot while "Be Her" climbed to No. 2. According to Luminate data, "Choosin' Texas" sold more than 8,600 copies during the latest tracking week, while "Be Her" recorded approximately 3,500 sales.

Langley currently occupies four positions inside the Digital Song Sales top 10. Her sophomore album, Dandelion, has also become a major success story. Released in April, the project debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and features several fan favorites, including "Be Her," "Butterfly Season" and the record-breaking "Choosin' Texas."

Speaking recently about the album, Langley explained her creative vision.

"I wanted them to come back and learn a little bit about where I'm from," Langley told People.

The Alabama native noted that the project was carefully planned from the beginning.

"'Dandelion,' I had that song first, and I really went into every one of these writes with like, 'This is what this record is about. This is the sonic influence for this record,' " she explained.

The streaming milestone arrives while Langley is in the middle of her highly successful Dandelion Tour, which launched earlier this year.

The tour includes arena and amphitheater stops across the country and runs through August. Several dates have reportedly sold out, while resale demand has remained strong in multiple markets.

Beyond her own headlining shows, Langley is also supporting Morgan Wallen on select tour dates, exposing her music to even larger audiences.

Industry recognition has followed her commercial success. In recent months, Langley earned major victories at both the Academy of Country Music Awards and the American Music Awards. Her hit "Choosin' Texas" has become one of the defining country singles of 2026 and continues to gain momentum through streaming, radio airplay and digital sales.

With more than 30 million monthly Spotify listeners, a chart-topping album, one of the year's biggest songs and a successful national tour underway, Ella Langley's momentum continues to reshape the country music landscape in 2026.
