Megan Moroney, Ella Langley & Morgan Wallen Highlight Moves on Country Airplay Chart

Megan Moroney earns her fourth top 10 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart as “Beautiful Things” rises two spots to No. 10 on the list dated May 9, delivering 17.7 million audience impressions (up 7%) April 24-30, according to Luminate.

Cowritten by Moroney, Jessi Alexander, Jessie Jo Dillon and Connie Harrington and produced by Kristian Bush, the track is from Cloud 9, her third studio album, released in February. “Beautiful Things” becomes the second single from the Billboard 200 No. 1 set to reach the top 10, following “6 Months Later,” which rose to No. 2 in January. Moroney first hit the tier with her debut single, “Tennessee Orange” (No. 4, 2023), while “Am I Okay?” followed with a No. 2 peak last summer.

“Beautiful Things” reaches the top 10 in its 27th week, in line with the five-year average for songs to reach the tier dating to May 2021. It joins 20 other songs by solo-billed women to make the top 10 in that span. Lainey Wilson leads that group with six in that frame, followed by Moroney’s four, Ella Langley’s three and Gabby Barrett’s two; Ashley Cooke, Dasha, Miranda Lambert, Maren Morris, Carly Pearce and Carrie Underwood have one each. Overall, women, solo or in collaboration, account for 39 of the 241 top 10s in that stretch (16%).

Debuts: ‘Anymore’ & More

Ella Langley and Morgan Wallen arrive with “I Can’t Love You Anymore” at No. 19 (10.2 million). It marks Langley’s highest debut among eight Country Airplay entries and ties for Wallen’s third highest among 37. Langley, who wrote the song with Austin Goodloe and Joybeth Taylor, debuted it during Wallen’s concert in Tuscaloosa, Ala., April 18; it was teased in the closing moments of her “Choosin’ Texas” video before the duet’s April 24 release.

Meanwhile, Kacey Musgraves gets her 11th entry as “Loneliest Girl” opens at No. 35 (3.4 million). The track is one of 13 on Middle of Nowhere, her sixth studio set, released on Friday (May 1). Plus, singer-songwriter Jacob Hackworth debuts with “What Took You So Long” at No. 60 (720,000), marking his first appearance on any Billboard ranking.
