Dandelion at 30 Days: The Numbers Are Wild

Dandelion dropped April 10. Today marks one month with the album in the world. Here's where it stands.

Album sales (pure + equivalent)

• Week 1: 318,000 album-equivalent units. #1 on Billboard 200.
• Weeks 2-4: Held inside top 5 for three more weeks — a 95% retention rate that streaming-era country albums rarely see.
• Cumulative 30-day units: 712,000. For context, that's bigger than her debut Hungover did in its first 90 days.

Streaming

• Spotify monthly listeners: 14.2M → 21.8M (a 53% lift in 30 days)
• Most-streamed track: "Choosin' Texas" — 184M streams in 30 days (the #1 country song globally on Spotify)
• Hidden gainer: "be her" — outperforming streaming expectations for a non-single, signaling fans are listening to the full album rather than cherry-picking the radio cuts. That's the metric that matters most.

Chart positions today

• Dandelion: #2 Billboard 200 (held by Bad Bunny this week)
• Hot Country Songs: "Choosin' Texas" #1 (7 weeks)
• Country Airplay: "Choosin' Texas" #1 (4 weeks)
• Hot 100: "Choosin' Texas" #1 (7 weeks)
• "Don't Mind If I Do" with Riley Green: Country Airplay #1 (current)

She has the top two songs on country radio right now.

What's interesting in the data

The album is doing the rare thing of building, not fading. Most modern albums lose 60-70% of week-1 streaming volume by week 4. Dandelion is at roughly 78% retention — the kind of curve usually reserved for catalog-defining releases.

The most likely explanation: the Dandelion Tour. Touring with an album generally extends its life by 40-60% in retention metrics. With 26 confirmed tour dates over the summer, this album is going to live a long time.

What to watch

The next chart-moving event is "Don't Mind If I Do" continuing its Country Airplay run. If it does what "Choosin' Texas" did and stays at #1 for 5+ weeks, we're looking at the year's defining country airplay duo.
