Ella Langley monopolizes the top three on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart dated May 9, as her collaboration with Morgan Wallen, “I Can’t Love You Anymore,” adds to her haul with its debut at No. 3. The song arrives with 16.7 million official U.S. streams, 10.8 million in radio audience and 10,000 sold in the April 24-30 tracking week, according to Luminate.

The song also makes a record-setting start inside the Billboard Hot 100‘s top 10.
On Hot Country Songs, Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” and “Be Her” hold at Nos. 1 and 2, respectively, making her just the second woman to claim the chart’s entire top three. The milestone comes as her album Dandelion continues its own rare run atop Top Country Albums.
The top-three sweep remains uncommon and has often been album-focused. Beyoncé held Nos. 1, 2 and 3 on Hot Country Songs for one week in 2024, powered by tracks from Cowboy Carter. Langley now matches that mark as the only other woman to take over the top three.
By contrast, Wallen — the only other artist to meet that mark — has done so 26 times, mostly clustered around his own album cycles. His 36-track One Thing at a Time, released in March 2023, and 37-track I’m the Problem, released in May 2025, fueled a 13-week triple last May-August. That context in part underscores the scale of those releases compared with Langley’s 18-track Dandelion and Beyoncé’s 27-song Cowboy Carter.
Dandelion, meanwhile, moved 112,000 equivalent album units in its third week at No. 1 on Top Country Albums, marking a third consecutive six-figure frame. The showing builds on Langley’s earlier placement alongside Beyoncé and Taylor Swift as the only women with multiple 100,000-unit weeks (dating to the metric’s start in the mid-2010s), and pushes her into even rarer company: She becomes just the second woman with a country project to post three six-figure weeks, joining Swift’s Red (Taylor’s Version) in 2021. Langley moves beyond the two such weeks for Cowboy Carter and Swift’s 2023 set Speak Now (Taylor’s Version).
‘Boston’ Bounds
Stella Lefty scores her first Hot Country Songs top 10, as her debut entry, “Boston,” leaps 14-10 in its fourth week on the chart (10.1 million streams, 2 million in radio audience, 1,000 sold). Its ascent is swift. Of the 474 songs to reach the tier over the past decade, 148, or 31%, have arrived in four weeks or fewer.
The song also marks the first top 10 on the chart for the recently launched Atlantic Outpost imprint.
