Ella Langley holds No.1 again

Ella Langley held No. 1 on the Billboard 200 for a second straight week, with Dandelion leading the chart dated May 2. (billboard.com) Billboard said Dandelion earned 106,000 equivalent album units in the United States in the week ending April 23, down 37% from its 169,000-unit debut. (billboard.com 1) (billboard.com 2) Most of that second-week total came from streaming: 97,000 streaming-equivalent units, equal to 99.41 million on-demand official streams of the album’s songs. Album sales added 7,000 units and track-equivalent units added 2,000. (billboard.com) Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem stayed at No. 2 with 84,000 units, while Tomorrow X Together posted the week’s highest debut at No. 3. Their mini-album 7TH YEAR: A Moment of Stillness in the Thorns opened with 69,000 units. (billboard.com) Tomorrow X Together’s opening was driven almost entirely by purchases, not streaming. Billboard said 67,000 of the set’s 69,000 units came from album sales, helped by more than 20 CD variants with photocards, stickers and posters. (billboard.com) The chart blends three inputs into one number: album sales, track-equivalent albums and streaming-equivalent albums. Billboard counts one unit as one album sale, 10 track sales, or a set number of on-demand streams from the album’s songs. (billboard.com) Langley’s run follows a bigger first-week milestone. Dandelion debuted at No. 1 on the April 25 chart with 169,000 units, which Billboard called the biggest week of 2026 for any woman and the largest for a country album by a woman in two years. (billboard.com) That release week also pushed Langley to No. 1 on the Billboard Artist 100 for the first time and put 15 songs from Dandelion on the Billboard Hot 100, led by “Choosin’ Texas” at No. 1. (billboard.com) On Billboard’s country charts, Dandelion opened at No. 1 on Top Country Albums, and 16 of its 17 chart-eligible tracks reached Hot Country Songs. Five landed in that chart’s top 10. (billboard.com) The full May 2 Billboard 200 is scheduled to post on April 28, but Langley’s hold at No. 1 is already clear: the album kept enough streaming momentum to fend off a strong K-pop sales week.
