Caylee Robillard Ella Langley is not just a singles phenomenon. “Choosin’ Texas” has spent a phenomenal six weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100 this year, but that is hardly the last word on her chart successes for 2026. Her “Dandelion” album has ridden the ubiquity of that song to a No. 1 debut on the Billboard 200 album chart, with 169,000 equivalent album units in its first week.
It’s the country crossover sensation’s first No. 1 album. Her previous effort for Columbia, “Hungover,” debuted at a lowly No. 80 in August 2024, then took 17 weeks to reach the album chart’s top 40 before finally peaking at No. 20 just last week, as noted by Billboard.
