Dandelion's First Month: The Real Chart Numbers

Correction (October 13, 2026): An earlier version of this post included streaming totals, Spotify listener counts, cumulative unit figures and chart positions that we could not verify. Several were wrong. We've replaced them with sourced numbers.

Dandelion, Ella Langley's second album, came out April 10, 2026 on Sawgod/Columbia. It's 18 tracks, co-produced by Ella, Miranda Lambert and Ben West.

The verified numbers

• Debut: No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with about 169,000 equivalent album units in its first week, per Luminate. It's her first No. 1 album. Her debut, Hungover, peaked at No. 49.
• How it got there: Reports broke the week down as roughly 130.46 million on-demand streams plus about 39,000 pure album sales. Billboard called it the largest streaming debut for an album of new country material by a female country artist.
• Week two: It stayed at No. 1 with about 106,000 units.

The singles around it

• "Choosin' Texas", the lead single, was No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 through this stretch. It went on to break the record for most weeks at No. 1 in the chart's history.
• "Be Her" reached No. 2 on the Hot 100 behind "Choosin' Texas." That made Ella the first female country artist to hold the top two spots at once (Billboard, May 11, 2026).
