Riley Green & Ella Langley Join Blake Shelton & Gwen Stefani for History Atop Country Airplay Chart

Riley Green and Ella Langley expand their entwined chart history, earning a second No. 1 together on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart as “Don’t Mind If I Do” lifts two spots to the top of the Dec. 20-dated list. The song gained by 14% to 29.7 million in audience Dec. 5-11, according to Luminate.

The collaboration is Green’s fourth Country Airplay No. 1 and Langley’s second — and the pair’s second joint leader, following last year’s “You Look Like You Love Me.” They become just the second tandem since the list launched in January 1990 to have earned multiple collaborative No. 1s, after Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani led in 2020 with “Nobody but You” and “Happy Anywhere.”

The new chart-topper also delivers a rare songwriting feat for Green. Increasingly recognized for his writing, he becomes the first artist since Taylor Swift to land back-to-back Country Airplay No. 1s with songs composed entirely on his or her own. “Don’t Mind If I Do” follows his solo-penned “Worst Way,” which led the chart for two weeks in June. Swift last accomplished the back-to-back mark with “Sparks Fly” in 2011 and “Ours” in 2012.

New Top 10s

Jason Aldean’s “How Far Does a Goodbye Go” and Ella Langley’s latest solo single, “Choosin’ Texas,” break into the Country Airplay top 10. The former becomes his 41st top 10, jumping 13-8  with 17.5 million in audience (up 16%). It has maintained steady visibility since its September release, bolstered in part by an eight-week spotlight through Cumulus’ Your Music Plus campaign that ran into mid-November. It’s official video, which leans into a 1970s-styled visual theme that Aldean previewed across social platforms, has also added to the song’s digital presence, helping keep engagement around the single active with the release of parent album Songs About Us set for April 2026.

“Texas,” meanwhile, surges 16-10 (16.7 million, up 31%), becoming Langley’s fourth Country Airplay top 10.
