Ella Langley's sophomore album Dandelion dropped this spring and immediately brought the singer-songwriter to highs she had never seen before on many Billboard charts. The title, which quickly became one of the most highly-anticipated of the year thanks to its lead single, "Choosin' Texas," launched at No. 1 on various tallies, including the Billboard 200, as well as the Top Album Sales, Top Streaming Albums and Top Country Albums rosters.

Langley earned her first ruler as it arrived, and months later, the set continues to perform extremely well. The singer’s fortunes on the charts are so great that even her debut full-length Hungover, which arrived a little less than two years before Dandelion, is also a major winner this time around. Hungover keeps at its all-time high on multiple rankings and even establishes a new peak position on one non-genre-specific rundown.

Ella Langley Hits a New High With Hungover

Langley's Hungover lifts slightly on the Top Streaming Albums chart. The Billboard roster, which was only introduced a few years ago, is built entirely with streaming data, and it ranks the collections, regardless of genre or length, that rack up the greatest number of plays via sites like Spotify, Apple Music and others. This time around, Hungover improves from No. 18 to No. 16, establishing a new peak position in the process.

Hungover debuted on the Top Streaming Albums chart in November 2024. The project hit various other rankings only a few months prior, as it dropped in August of that year. 31 weeks into its tenure, it soars higher than ever before.

Ella Langley Charts Two Albums on the Streaming Ranking

Langley fills two spaces on the Top Streaming Albums chart with her only full-length projects. Dandelion dips from No. 3 to No. 4 – an impressive position for a set that has now spent 11 frames rising and falling. The collection debuted in the top spot and spent two weeks ruling.

Hungover Holds at Its All-Time High on the Country List

Hungover is not solely a streaming win in America, though continued plays of its several hit songs, as well as the collection in full, certainly play a major role in its continued presence on a number of rosters. Hungover keeps at its all-time high of No. 5 on the Top Country Albums chart. If Hungover can hang on for just one more frame, which seems all but certain, it will become Langley's first 100-week charter on the rundown.

Over on the Billboard 200, Hungover finds its way back to its loftiest placement yet. Hungover debuted on the chart, which ranks the most-consumed albums in the nation, in August 2024, but it did not break into the top 20 for the first time until a week before Dandelion earned Langley her first champion. Hungover has now spent 91 weeks on the Billboard 200, and it almost climbed to a new peak this period. Instead, it steps up to No. 20.

Dandelion Still Dominates for Ella Langley

Of course, Dandelion remains Langley's highest-rising win and her top performer at the moment. The superstar's sophomore project is comfortable once again in first place on the Top Country Albums chart. Dandelion debuted at No. 1 in late April, and for the past 11 weeks – the entirety of its time on the tally – it has dominated. Dandelion is steady in third on the Billboard 200 and rises nearly 10 slots, settling at No. 14, on the Top Album Sales tally.
