Ella Just Became the First Woman With Three Country Airplay Top 10s at Once

We figured "Be Her" topping country radio was the headline, and then the rest of the chart caught up to it. On Billboard's Country Airplay ranking dated June 13, Ella has three songs sitting in the top 10 at the same time — and according to Billboard, no woman has ever pulled that off before.

The three songs doing it

"Be Her" is holding at No. 1 for a second straight week, which on its own is a nice follow-up to the fastest-flying airplay No. 1 of her career we wrote about last week. But it's not alone up there. "Choosin' Texas", the song that ran the table on the Hot 100 all spring, is camped at No. 5. And her Morgan Wallen duet "I Can't Love You Anymore" just cracked the top 10 at No. 10. Three Ella titles, top 10, all at once.

Why that's a genuinely rare line on the page

Country radio is a slow, stubborn format. Getting one song to the top is hard; getting three into the top 10 simultaneously is the kind of thing that almost never happens, because stations only have so many slots and they spread them around. Billboard notes the only other artist to do this in the chart's history is Morgan Wallen, who managed it for a single week back in 2023. So Ella is now the first woman ever to join that list — and she's doing it the same season she swept the ACMs and crossed 30 million monthly Spotify listeners.

What we like about this one is that it isn't a streaming quirk or a one-week spike. Airplay is the format voting with its actual rotations: programmers across the country are choosing to play "Be Her," "Choosin' Texas," and the Wallen collab in the same week. That's three different lanes — a power ballad, a barn-burner, and a duet — all working at once.

It also ties neatly into the summer she's running. The Wallen duet climbing makes more sense when you remember she's opening his stadium nights while headlining her own Dandelion run, so both audiences are hearing her constantly. If you want to catch any of it live, the full routing is on our tour page — and after CMA Fest and Railbird this we
