Ella Langley Notches First No. 1 Single At Country Radio

Riley Green and Ella Langley

Breakout singer-songwriter Ella Langley has earned her first No. 1 on country radio with “You Look Like You Love Me” featuring Riley Green. The tune was written by Langley, Green and Aaron Raitiere.

The feat makes Langley the first female artist to lead the Billboard Country Airplay Chart in 2024. The last woman to top the chart was Lainey Wilson, who was a featured vocalist on Jelly Roll’s “Save Me,” which topped the chart for two weeks in December. Prior to that Wilson spent three weeks at No. 1 in October of 2023 with “Watermelon Moonshine,” meaning that Langley ends the 51-week break between women in the lead spot. According to Billboard, the nearly year-long gap marked the longest stretch without a female chart-topper since the record 61-week drought in 2003-2004.

“You Look Like You Love Me” has become Langley’s most-streamed song to date with more than 260 million worldwide streams and counting. The Platinum-certified hit took home the CMA Award for Musical Event of the Year and was featured on Langley’s debut album, Hungover, as well as her deluxe album, Still Hungover. It camped out at the top of the MusicRow CountryBreakout Radio Chart for five weeks in November.

Now in her fourth week at No. 1 on Billboard’s Emerging Artist Chart, Langley will be performing tonight (Dec. 9) at Opry NextStage Live as part of their Class of 2024. She will then be kicking off 2025 with her extended run of headline shows on the “Still Hungover Tour,” which is completely sold out.
