Ella Langley & Morgan Wallen Duet Blocked From No. 1

Ella Langley is one spot away from her fifth country radio No. 1, and the only person in her way is the guy singing the other half of the song. This week "I Can't Love You Anymore," her duet with Morgan Wallen, climbed from No. 3 to No. 2 on Billboard's Country Airplay chart — a new peak — while Wallen's own "Don't We" sits at No. 1, per Forbes. He is, quite literally, blocking his own duet partner. And himself.

The Only Thing Between This Duet and No. 1 Is Wallen

"Don't We" knocked Jason Aldean's "Don't Tell on Me" off the top and became Wallen's twenty-first Country Airplay No. 1, tying Keith Urban and Thomas Rhett for the eighth-most in the chart's history. MusicRow notes it's also the seventh chart-topper pulled from I'm the Problem, matching the record Luke Combs set with What You See Is What You Get.

So the math is simple: the song most likely to replace "Don't We" at country radio right now is the other Wallen record — the one with Ella on it.

One Rung From No. 1 Number Five

If "I Can't Love You Anymore" goes all the way, it would be Ella's fifth Country Airplay champion and her third this year. The run so far: "You Look Like You Love Me" with Riley Green in December 2024, "Don't Mind If I Do" a year later, then "Choosin' Texas" — still parked at No. 1 on the all-genre Hot 100, by the way — and "Be Her," which led for four weeks after hitting the top in June.

Radio is crowded for her right now in the best possible way. "Loving Life Again" is still climbing fast as the fourth Dandelion single, which means Ella currently has songs at the top, near the top, and rising — all at once.

The No. 2 Club She'd Love to Leave

Here's the stat that stings a little: only two Ella songs have ever cracked the Country Airplay top 10 without reaching No. 1, and both stalled in the exact same spot. "Weren't for the Wind" peaked at No. 2, and now "I Can't Love You Anymore" has matched it. Wallen, for his part, has never had a song finish its run at No. 2 — only three of his 24 top-10 hits missed No. 1 entirely, per Forbes.

One of those streaks breaks in the next few weeks. Either Ella's duet becomes the rare Wallen record to stall in the runner-up spot, or "Don't We" hands the baton to its own labelmate and Ella gets No. 1 number five. We know which one we're rooting for.

She's back on the road with the Dandelion Tour's second leg starting August 20 in Green Bay — if this song hits No. 1 while she's out there, that celebration is going to be something. Browse every song we've broken down if you want the full story behind the singles.
