Halfway Airplay: Morgan, Sony & More
The chart year is halfway over. Let that one sink in for a minute. Not quite as shocking: Morgan Wallen and Ella Langley are dominating airplay at Country radio. In Q1, Langley had the lead, but Wallen’s six titles (with collaborations, compared to Langley’s four) have put him in the lead at the midpoint. As both are featured on the rapidly rising “I Can’t Love You Anymore,” expect a close race coming down the stretch.
Not so fast (car), says the third-place Luke Combs , whose four titles are among the 13(!) powering Sony Music Nashville to the top of the label chart share leaderboard. The Sony team claims the pinnacle over Big Loud , which has won the airplay championship each of the last four years and has posted 11 songs with airplay so far. Rounding out the top five artists are Jordan Davis and Jelly Roll , both of whom posted top five collaborations in the first half of the ‘26 chart year – “Ain’t A Bad Life” with Thomas Rhett , and “Amen” with Shaboozey , respectively.
Speaking of the top songs (see list page 7), Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” rises from No. 9 in Q1 to No. 1. With the aforementioned collabs at Nos. 2 and 5, it’s Wallen’s “20 Cigarettes” in third and Hardy ’s “Favorite Country Song” in fourth. The latter topped the Q1 airplay chart. In-tab on this midyear report are 93 songs, 20 of which hit No. 1. Twenty songs feature women, seven are from duos or groups.

noting, “The crowd, both women and men, were so pumped to see her,” and Donato adding the audience was “Ready with a capital R.”
Openers Gabriella Rose and Dylan Marlowe each delivered what Donato called “super solid sets,” and both later returned during Langley’s show. Rose joined for “Butterfly Season,” with Kay saying the pair “nailed it,” while Donato noted Rose “filled in for Miranda admirably.” Marlowe later joined Langley for “You Look Like You Love Me,” bringing “fun chemistry and history” to the moment, according to Donato.
Langley’s staging leaned fully into the Dandelion theme. Kay described a staircase with members of the band positioned above the stage, large screens showing Langley, dandelion fields and country scenes, and dandelions placed across the stage floor to make it appear “everyone is performing in a field of dandelions.” Donato called the setup somewhat traditional, but said the visuals were “fantastic” and “a huge component of the show” without ever overshadowing the music.
Langley made her entrance from beneath the drum set “in a cloud of smoke to ear-splitting applause,” Donato said. Covers included Gretchen Wilson’s “Here For The Party,” Toby Keith’s “Wish I Didn’t Know Now” and Kitty Wells’ “It Wasn’t God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels.” Kay said the crowd “knew the words to every song,” with “Choosin’ Texas” creating the biggest singalong, while Donato singled out “Loving Life Again” as a “take your breath away moment.”
The show closed with “Weren’t For The Wind,” though Donato said the final stretch “created bedlam through the arena.” For Kay, the night left her “rooting for her even more,” adding, “You could tell how much it all meant to her.”

Kudos to Kris Lamb, Brooke Diaz, Bill Lubitz, Jane Staszak, Anna Scott Welch and the Hey Now crew as Kenny Chesney’s “Carry On” was added by all 158 reporting stations this week. This is only the third time in the 52-year history of the Radio & Records/Mediabase/Country Aircheck chart that a release has closed the panel in one week. Two years ago this month, “I Had Some Help” by Post Malone featuring Morgan Wallen was added by all 158 reporters in its first week. In the pre-monitored airplay era, “Long Neck Bottle” by Garth Brooks was added by 202 stations on Nov. 14, 1997, on what was then a 202-station panel.

MY TUNES
Best known for her years on MTV’s Ridiculousness, Chanel West Coast is now leaning into country with her May 8 single “Down To The Filter.” She shared five of her favorite country songs with Country Aircheck:
1. Shania Twain, “You’re Still The One.” I can’t remember the exact age I was when I heard this song for the first time — probably about 10 — but I remember the feeling it gave me as a child. I never had parents together, and the idea of true love and a happy relationship was something I always longed for because of that. That song made me feel what true love was like, and I imagine playing it at my wedding one day very soon and crying my eyes out to it then.
2. Big & Rich, “Save A Horse (Ride A Cowboy).” I was on a summer trip visiting family in Ohio the first time I heard this song. I was listening to a lot of hip-hop at that time in my teenage years, and I remember hearing this song and saying, “Man, these guys are kinda bringing hip-hop vibes with this video. They’re cool as hell!” Definitely one of my all-time favorite country songs.
3. Morgan Wallen, “Heartless.” This song is what made me want to immerse myself in creating country music. I think it’s my mostplayed song on Spotify. I dated a few heartless men, and the lyrics just hit me so hard every time I listen to it. The remix with Diplo also made it one of the greatest crossover country/pop songs of all time, and I aspire to make a country love song like that with the same crossover potential that resonates with so many.
4. Lainey Wilson, “Heart Like A Truck.” This song makes me cry when I listen to it and sing it. I’ve been through a lot in my life, and on the surface I’m great at keeping a smile on and laughing my way through the hard times. That’s because underneath, I have a heart like a truck myself. I’ve taken a lot of hits in life, but I keep going. My heart is definitely a semi truck.
5. Zach Top, “I Never Lie.” This is one of my favorite country songs because it’s so real, and the lyrics are so relatable to so many. A lot of good people out there are living simple lives and minding their own business, and I think Zach made the perfect song for all those people to relate to. It’s just got such a feel-good, honest vibe to it, and to me, it’s the essence of what country music is: raw and real.
