Ella Langley‘s hot streak shows no signs of slowing down. Fresh off a career-defining year, the country singer has now become the second most-streamed country artist in the world.
According to Parade, Langley has just surpassed 30 million listeners on Spotify and there is only one country artist in the world who has more listeners: Morgan Wallen.
A show of star power that was no doubt planned before Langley reached this milestone is the fact that she is opening select dates for Wallen on his Still the Problem Tour.
Having the two biggest streaming stars in country music sharing a stage and promoting a duet at the same time is the kind of moment that almost never happens.
The Rise of Ella Langley
If Langley’s rise to fame has seemed unusually fast, that’s because it has been. But her rapid ascent can be credited to one thing: her talent and ability to connect with fans.
The unprecedented success of “Choosin’ Texas,” one of the biggest country songs of the year, has only fueled her momentum.
The song has spent 26 weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart and recently surpassed Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night” to become the fifth-longest-running leader in the chart’s history.

Langley tells People that her album Dandelion was carefully planned from the beginning.
“‘Dandelion,’ I had that song first, and I really went into every one of these writes with like, ‘This is what this record is about.’ This is the sonic influence for this record.”
Langley now has more than 30 million monthly Spotify listeners, a chart-topping album, one of the year’s biggest songs in “Choosin’ Texas,” with her latest single “Be Her” sitting at No. 2, and a successful national tour underway, showing her momentum that continues to reshape the country music landscape in 2026.
Ella Langley and Morgan Wallen Are the Most Streamed Country Artists in the World
It’s crazy that the current most listened to country artists have a duet together that has been released as a single.
Their song is called “I Can’t Love You Anymore” and it’s a powerful duet that showcases their raw talent and emotional abilities to connect with their audiences.

She’s continued to dominate with hits like “Weren’t For the Wind” and the crossover mega-hit “Choosin’ Texas,” becoming one of the most high profile acts in country music and a bonafide star even beyond the genre.
