Rex Ryan posted on social media that Langley\u2019s performance at M&T Bank Stadium blew him away.<\/p>\n

“Look, I’ve been around football my whole life. I’ve coached in Baltimore, won a lot of games, and seen some incredible performances But let me tell you something\u2026Ella Langley had Baltimore in the palm of her hand tonight. As the kids say, I’m officially an Ella Fella. I don’t make the rules,” he wrote on X.<\/p>\n

Langley, along with fellow country star Morgan Wallen, have had<\/a> a great first half of 2026.<\/p>\n

Billboard reported this week that Wallen’s “I\u2019m the Problem” and Langley’s “Dandelion” are the top two albums<\/a> in America for the first half of 2026, according to Luminate data.<\/p>\n

“I’m the Problem” is number one with 2.035 million album units and Langley’s “Dandelion” is number two with 1.638 million units.<\/p>\n

Luminate defines an album unit as “one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 2,500 ad-supported on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album, or 1,000 paid\/subscription on-demand official and audio streams generated by songs from an album,” according to the same report.<\/p>\n

Bad Bunny, who did the Super Bowl halftime show<\/a> this year, is third with “DeB\u00cd TiRAR M\u00e1S FOToS” at 1.543 million units.<\/p>\n

If Langley could hold the attention of a crowd in Baltimore, imagine what she could do at the halftime show of a Super Bowl.<\/p>\n
