Ella Langley's sophomore album Dandelion has launched at the top of the Billboard 200 chart dated April 25. The country set earned 169,000 equivalent album units in the United States during the week ending April 16, according to Luminate. This marks her first No. 1 and the largest week for a country album by a woman in two years.
Langley's Dandelion achieved 128,000 streaming equivalent album units from 130.46 million on-demand official streams of its tracks, her biggest streaming week to date. Album sales contributed 39,000 units, while track equivalent albums made up the rest. The album debuted at No. 1 on both Top Streaming Albums and Top Album Sales charts. It was released as a digital download, CD, and vinyl in two variants, one signed edition included. Dandelion follows the success of Langley's single “Choosin’ Texas,” which held No. 1 on Hot Country Songs for 20 weeks, topped the Billboard Hot 100 for six weeks, and led Country Airplay for three weeks. This is Langley's first top 10 on the Billboard 200 and second charting album after Hungover, which peaked at No. 20. The debut makes Langley the second solo female country artist to reach No. 1 this year, after Megan Moroney's Cloud 9 on the March 7 chart—the first such pair in over a decade since Taylor Swift's Red and Carrie Underwood's Blown Away in 2012. Morgan Wallen's I'm the Problem holds at No. 2 with 83,000 units. The full April 25 Billboard 200 will post on Billboard's website April 21.
