Ella Langley is celebrating a major breakthrough moment in her career after landing two No. 1 hits that caught the industry’s attention.
The rising star recently hosted a double No. 1 party at BMI in Nashville to honor her chart-topping songs “Weren’t For The Wind” and “Choosin’ Texas.” Surrounded by her collaborators—including Miranda Lambert, Johnny Clawson, Joybeth Taylor, and Luke Dick—the event marked a full-circle moment highlighting the teamwork and creativity behind her success.
“Weren’t For The Wind,” featured on the deluxe edition of her album Hungover, was the first to climb the charts. Written during her time on tour, the song’s emotional storytelling resonated with listeners, eventually earning her first solo Top 20 hit before reaching No. 1.
Not long after, Langley scored an even bigger win with “Choosin’ Texas.” Co-written and produced alongside Lambert, the track quickly gained momentum and soared to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100—a milestone that made her the first female artist to simultaneously top the Hot 100, Hot Country Songs, and Country Airplay charts.
The song’s success extended beyond radio, surpassing 310 million streams worldwide, earning Platinum certification, and topping major platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. Despite its massive reach, Langley admitted she never expected the song to achieve such heights, even though she and her team believed in it from the beginning.
Lambert echoed that sentiment, praising the track for being both deeply rooted in country and universally appealing—something that helped bring wider recognition to traditional country songwriting.
For Langley, the experience has reinforced a core belief: every song has the potential to change everything. While the rapid rise to fame has been overwhelming, she remains focused on her music and artistry, taking moments to celebrate milestones like this with her team.
With her upcoming album Dandelion set for release on April 10 and continued collaborations with Lambert, Langley’s momentum shows no signs of slowing down.
