Fresh spins and fresh wins: Morgan Wallen lands a milestone at country radio, Ella Langley keeps riding a monster run, and Luke Combs is officially in rollout season with a new album date on the calendar.
Alright y’all, let’s talk about what’s on the speakers right now—the songs climbing fast, the ones locking down the top spot, and the brand-new drops you’re gonna hear everywhere.
Big radio moment: Morgan Wallen makes it 20
Morgan Wallen just grabbed his 20th No. 1 at country radio with “20 Cigarettes”, hitting the top of Billboard’s Country Airplay chart dated February 28, 2026. If it feels like you’ve been hearing it nonstop… you have—and the numbers backed it up with a strong jump in weekly audience. That’s one of those “turn it up and don’t touch the dial” moments.
Still ringing out: Ella Langley stays in the fast lane
Ella Langley isn’t letting off the gas. “Choosin’ Texas” is still sitting tall as the No. 1 song on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs as of February 28, 2026—and it’s been crossing over in a big way, too. And if you want the next one for your playlist, she also rolled out “Be Her” (and yep, it’s already showing serious heat on the charts).
New on the airwaves: Luke Combs is in album mode
Luke Combs is back with fresh fuel. His new song “Be By You” is out and already making noise, and his next album, The Way I Am, is set for March 20, 2026. That’s a big circle-on-the-calendar release for anyone who likes their country honest, loud, and built for the highway.
