Move over boys, Ella Langley is cookin' (and it ain't biscuits)! | Music City Minute

from Music City Minute

Country music has evolved significantly over the decades, yet male dominance in the format has stayed the same. Legendary female artists like Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn, Reba, The Judds, Shania Twain, Carrie Underwood, Miranda Lambert and Lainey Wilson will admit that just because they’re a woman, they had to work twice as hard to get even half the exposure of a male artist. Fortunately, those women and many more in country music are survivors, and I am so proud to recognize Ella Langley for her latest achievement. Langley's current single, "Choosin' Texas" has claimed the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. But that’s not all! The 26-year-old's hit record also tops the Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay charts, which is equal parts impressive and historic. According to Billboard, only three other songs have simultaneously topped all three charts, and yes, they were all by males. By the way, "Choosin' Texas" has been streamed over 300 million times, earning the single a bona fide platinum certification. For all that hard work, Ella Langley deserves a big "hell yeah!"   I'm Sheena, and that's your Music City Minute.
