Women have spent much of 2026 rewriting Billboard’s country record books. Ella Langley has been at the center of many of those milestones, while Taylor Swift, Stella Lefty and others have contributed to a broader run of new benchmarks on Hot Country Songs.
Now, Langley’s Dandelion, which has spent 21 weeks at No. 1 on Top Country Albums since it debuted in April, has delivered yet another milestone.
With “Choosin’ Texas,” “Be Her,” the Morgan Wallen duet “I Can’t Love You Anymore,” and on the Oct. 31-dated chart, “Loving Life Again,” each reaching No. 1, Dandelion is just the second album by a woman or an act with a woman vocalist to generate at least four leaders since the chart launched in 1990. It’s the first to reach the threshold since Shania Twain’s The Woman In Me in 1996.
Wallen brings some impressive album history of his own to the occasion. His “Don’t We,” which immediately preceded “I Can’t Love You Anymore” atop Country Airplay, became the seventh No. 1 from I’m the Problem, making it the first album to generate seven leaders from an original version. Luke Combs’ What You See Is What You Get also produced seven when counting its original and deluxe editions.
For albums by women, however, even three has become rare. Ten of the 13 qualifying sets arrived between 1992 and 2009. Carrie Underwood leads with three — Some Hearts, Carnival Ride andPlay On — while Shania Twain follows with two. Twain’s The Woman in Me and Langley’s Dandelion remain the only albums in the group to produce four Country Airplay No. 1s.
