Shepard promise me you'll tell them to subscribe for any free content. It doesn't take a crystal ball to see, a cowboy always finds a way to... Oh, man, I'm tripping. You guys. See, that's the problem. This whole time, I was recorded. What in the world? No, all jokes aside, they've got to say I'm a huge fan of choosing Texas.

Now, honestly, you could probably look at me and tell that Ella Langley in the country community definitely was targeting me as far as my demographic were making this song, right? Shepard. All right. Anyways, all jokes aside, Ella Langley is doing phenomenal right now. You know, in the year of 2026, safe to say, this is probably, this is probably, objectively speaking, her most successful year by far. I mean, Choosing Texas has been under charge for 22 weeks, and it's currently the most,

most played track in the world now we will get into the be heard track because that's what this segment is specifically for but as far as the hungover album as far as uh that being the 26 most played track in the world just know the hungover album came out i don't think it was november let's see because she put out still hungover okay so hungover came out august 2nd 2024 and then still hungover, which I'm assuming is the deluxe, came out November 1st, 2024. Now, of course, as far as the latest album, it is currently titled Dandelion and is set to come out in 12 days. But that's not it, ladies and gentlemen, as if you're a huge Ella Langley connoisseur, safe to say, you'll be able to watch her live. Yes, I say you'll be able to watch her live.

as her tour The Dandelion Tour kicks off May 7th, 2026 at Huntington Center in Toledo. I'm assuming it's Ohio. If it's not,

I sincerely apologize. Anyway, that's what started. And of course, it's primarily arenas early on shifting to amphitheaters and pavilions. And as a 16 date

run across the Midwest, South East Coast, wrapping up August, 15th 2026 in Fort Worth, Texas. So some of the supporting acts for her tour is Cameron Marlowe, Dylan Marlowe, Caitlin Butts, Gabrielle Rose, Lacey K. Booth on select dates. So if you're wanting to, you know, a little information on her tour, just know you could probably go to her page or go to Ticketmaster, type in Ella Langley. Of course, this isn't an ad, but for the connoisseurs of Ella Langley, they probably want to know where to go to purchase.

a ticket to watch her live. So anyways, what that means said, I think this year is definitely shaping up to be one to remember, especially for Ella Langley herself and her team. As if you don't know, she also won this year, mind you, she won Best New Country Artist at the I Heart, at the I Heart Radio Music Awards. And I believe Taylor Swift was there as well because I think they was able to get a picture because Ella Langley was being interviewed and she basically said that Taylor Swift was one of her biggest like I don't know if she was like her favorite artist but basically she was a huge fan of her work ethic and things that nature so they ended up getting the actual picture but the reason why say that is that I believe Taylor Swift also brought home some hardware from the I Heart

award show you know for Taylor Swift to pop up you know she's leaving with something you know what I'm saying I mean one of the biggest artists ever so anyways getting back into Ella Langley not only is choosing Texas doing phenomenal on the charts, but then of course for this specific segment, we're getting it to be her. As if you don't know, as far as future chart analytics,

that specific track is set to be the 15th most played track in the world, and currently currently is the 16th most played track in the world. So it seems like, what not seems like, objectively speaking, is definitely receiving more consumption and engagement. And of course, she does have another track in the

Billboard Hot 100 titled Dandelion. That's the 56 most played track in the world. It's been on the charts for about seven weeks. So the reason why I say this is because when you look at all of these three tracks, guess what they're battling with? The K-pop group that I told y'all that was going to notoriously affect the masses. And guess what? The numbers are in, ladies and gentlemen.

And just like I said, they have the biggest first week sales in the year of 2026. Now, if you don't know who I'm talking about, I'm talking about BTS with their album Arvry Ring ended up putting up a whopping 651,000 in first week sales. Now, of course, with that comes their specific tracks on the album impacting the charts. And when you look at it specifically, it's non-existent. Now, you probably think it's too so. I think it's just because the billboard charts hasn't updated yet because another thing I was going to get into.

Because you know, you boy, he does this full time. You know nothing too crazy. Shout to the connoisseurs of the Taurus Massifix Podcast. Anyways, as far as your boy taking this job seriously, you already know that I had some more insight as far as the projections for Ella Langley versus BTS, which is what it has transformed into. As when you look at her most popular track, Choos in Texas, is currently going up against BTS right now. Now, of course, analytic dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio because I currently have insider data. shout out to talk of the charts.

You know I want to plug them because I'm subscribed to them so this is why I got it from. So anyways, second midweek update. You have swim seeing over 300% increase in daily U.S. sales on Tuesday up to over

$23,000 as big as sales day ever in 4K above midweek forecast. The song is still closely competing with Choosing Texas. I wonder who I wonder who that is. You know what I'm saying? Shepard.

All right, my phone. That's the person we're talking about currently. So choosing Texas by Ella Langley, right? So they're competing for the number one spot. Though the margin has shrunk down significantly, streaming and airplay also performed well, though Texas has also seen a slight increase in both today. Final rankings will likely be dependent on last minute sales, though we currently feel more confident in swim taking the lead. Now, if you don't know, BTS putting out an album having the biggest first week sales of the year.

Of course, they are from South Korea. So if you don't know, as far as RIAA certification, you need a certain amount of U.S. units to even qualify for certification. So, you know, it's very much skewed towards U.S. artists. But, you know, that's what's the point? It's really not. But I just wanted to let you know. So with that being said, final, I think I always said that.

Yeah, okay. So number one will Number one would require at least 14 to 20,000 digital sales from the last two days Because the current forecast is swim at number one from BTS 266 points 100,000 sales 45,000 physical right 14.1 million streams 24.9 million airplay That means somebody on the radio is playing it like it's going out of style And of course you have choosing Texas with 265 points

5.5,000 in sales, 23.1 million streams and 43 million in Airplay. The reason why I'm bringing this up is because Ella Langley is definitely competing with the Army right now, which if you don't know, it's what BTS's, the fandom is called.

So with that being said, that is the battle currently going on with Ella Langley and BTS. And of course, as far as for me, personally, I would like to see BTS get a number one because I believe that choosing Texas is going to be around for a minute.

Once you start to see tracks like Choosing Texas, tracks like, man I need by Olivia Dean, once those are in the top 10 for more than like 20, 15 plus weeks, it's a bona fide here. It's not going anywhere. I would like BTS to get the number one and then of course it's just going to go back to Choos in Texas. So even the competitive nature of Choosing Texas still fighting number one compared to Swim by BT, that just put out an album that sold the most in the first week in the entire year well it's it currently has the most first week sales in the year of 2026 obviously we're only three months in but when you look at the competitive nature i would like it to go to bt s from swim now before ella langley fans come after me

i just would like to let you know to actually enjoy a lot of her music as far as the love and life again EP that she just put out. If you don't know, March 20th, she put out EP that had Love and Life Again had Be Her Dandelion and Choosing Texas on it. I really like the Love and Life Again track. I think those are my favorite tracks from Ella Langley.

The Love and Life again and then the Choosing Texas track is my favorites from Ella Langley out for that EP. Because of course, the album's coming soon. She just wanted to put all the singles into one place. Because of course, it would be on the album, Dandy Line. when it comes out in 12 days. But anyways, just wanted to let you know on how that,

on how close that battle is. It reminds me of when, actually, I don't know, what's the last time we've had a close battle like this? I mean, I remember Nikki Minaj and Travis Scott having their beef because their battle was so close. And, you know, Nikki came out and said he's selling shirts, t-shirts, socks. You're not selling any music, right?

I remember, who else had a close battle? there's somebody else I'm forgetting about it was a huge close battle was it post malone I don't think it was post malone all right I forget but anyways um these happened very sparingly as far as the number one slot like honestly with ace at rocky I guess that would be the last time that that happened in this year as far as you know bad bunny uh you know it's very interesting how A's ad rocky beat out bad bunny but like I think it's like two to 300 copies for number one and you know I would be that guy and point out that his album's currently not on top 50 and bad bunnies currently the seventh most play album in the world but that'll be petty right there's no reason to point that out so i'm not going to

so anyways uh when it comes to ella langley i think her staying power is just like a bad bunny i think this track is going to be around for a while as far as shoes in texas be her is the 16th most play track in the world that's been on the charts for about five weeks so that's looking like it's going to be on the charts for a while and of course when you look at ella langley specifically her going on tour will only help her current tracks on the charts like dandelion that's the 56 most played track in the world currently because of bt s all their tracks being implemented in the top 100 currently as far as future chart predictions for april 4th that track is slated to be the 61st most played track so it's going to slide a little bit because of course bt s about to impact the charts

with all their tracks so um when she goes on tour i think it arrives again you're dealing with a mammoth of a group right now, one of the biggest musicians of all time as far as as BTS. And if you don't believe me, just listen to my coverage of BTS. One of the most notoriously mass-affecting musicians we've ever had. And that's, you know, there's a reason why South Korea K-pop group was invited to the White House. So anyways, as far as Ella Langley and her fans out there, if you don't take away anything from the segment, is that she's definitely going to notoriously affect the masses when she goes on tour. Once again, the tour, the tour,

takes off May 7th, 2026, and then, when does it end? And then it ends around, it ends August 15th, Fort Worth, Texas. So now if you want to, like, get tickets for her live show, just, you know, make sure to go to Ella Langley. Oh, it's actually, yeah, it's on here, Ella Langley.com. So that's how you can register and things that nature. So don't say, don't say I didn't tell you. You know what I mean? If you luck out.

I say, if you luck out, it wasn't because of me because I gave you all the information to get the right tickets. So anyways, with that being said, shout out to Ella Langley.
