Ella Langley dominated the ACM Awards the other night . . . and now she’s making Billboard history. Her song “Choosin’ Texas” just locked down a 10th week at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Only 4% of all songs from all genres in the 67-year history of the chart have accomplished that. And Ella is making history because her song “Be Her” is also at #2. That makes her the first true country artist ever to hold the top two spots on the Hot 100 for multiple weeks
Who wasn’t at the ACM Awards? Here are five country singers that skipped the big show:
- Megan Moroney. She was the most nominated artist of the night, so it was a surprise when she wasn’t there. But she posted a message saying she had to skip because she was the maid of honor at her best friend’s wedding.
- Morgan Wallen. No surprise there. He rarely goes to award shows.
- Jason Aldean. He wasn’t nominated for anything, so why not relax at home?
- Luke Combs and Jelly Roll were also no-shows. They were both nominated for Entertainer of the Year.
