Meanwhile, in 2024, a female artist will rule country airplay for the first time. Lainey Wilson last topped the women’s chart when she starred in Jelly Roll’s “Save Me” for two weeks in December. Langley is the first woman in a leading role since Wilson, who spent three weeks at No. 1 with “Watermelon Moonshine” in October 2023. Langley ends the longest hiatus – 51 weeks – between women (including groups with prominent female vocals) and has topped the charts since a record 61-week hiatus in the 2003-2004 season.
