“Weren’t for the Wind” tops the country charts and is certified platinum
Multi-platinum, chart-topping, and award-winning artist Ella Langley celebrates another career milestone as her breezy single “Weren’t for the Wind” soars to the No. 1 spot on Mediabase’s Country Radio Chart, marking her first solo song to achieve the top position. As her second straight single to reach No. 1, following “You Look Like You Love Me” featuring Riley Green, Ella joins an elite group of female artists who have gone back-to-back with their first two singles. Building on this momentous accomplishment, the song has also been officially certified platinum by the RIAA, becoming her second single to achieve this status. “Weren’t for the Wind” was written by Ella, Joybeth Taylor, and Johnny Clawson, with production by Will Bundy.
“Weren’t for the wind is #1 on country radio baby!!! So proud of this song everything that it’s done and continues to do. Thank y’all for loving this song. Also, thank you to Joybeth Taylor and Johnny Clawson for helping me write it. So grateful today. God is good,” Langley shares on social media.
Originally featured on the deluxe version of her debut album, Still Hungover, “Weren’t for the Wind” became a radio staple and fan favorite, earning 262 million worldwide streams to date.
The accolades come on the heels of Ella’s latest single release, “Never Met Anyone Like You” featuring Hardy. The song marked Ella’s biggest solo debut to date with 6.7 million worldwide streams. From the very first note, Ella draws listeners in with intimate vocals laid over a warm acoustic guitar, before the song swells into a powerful country-rock anthem with a surprise plot twist. Co-written with superstar artist and producer Hardy and hitmaker Jordan Schmidt (who also produced the track), the song takes Ella’s signature sound to new heights.
Langley is currently on tour as direct support on Riley Green’s North American Damn Country Music Tour and opening for Morgan Wallen on his I’m The Problem Tour. Ella recently announced an extension of her sold-out Still Hungover headlining tour this fall, with all newly added dates selling out immediately.
