Ella Langley's 'Dandelion' Returns to No. 1 on Billboard 200
Ella Langley's Dandelion is back at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. The album tops the Sept. 19, 2026-dated chart for a third nonconsecutive week, totalling 67,000 equivalent album units, the measure that converts streams and track sales into album sales, in the United States Billboard.
That total, for the tracking week ending Sept. 10, was down less than 1% from the previous week, according to Luminate. Streaming did most of the work. Of the 67,000 units, 57,000 were SEA units, which convert on-demand streams into album units, equal to 60.21 million on-demand official streams of the set's songs. Album sales comprised 9,000 units, while TEA units, which convert track sales into album units, comprised 1,000.
Dandelion debuted at No. 1 on the April 25-dated Billboard 200 and spent its first two weeks on top. It has never left the top five since. The sophomore studio album gave Langley her first No. 1 on the chart.
The 67,000-unit week is the smallest for a No. 1 album in more than a year. The last smaller total was when SZA's SOS returned to No. 1 with 52,000 units on the May 3, 2025-dated chart.
The race at the top was tight. Olivia Rodrigo's you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love rises 4-2 with 64,000 equivalent album units, down 4%. Morgan Wallen's I'm the Problem rises 5-3 with 60,000 units, down less than 1%.
ADELA takes the week's highest new entry. The singer's debut full-length studio album PRIMA opens at No. 4 with 56,000 equivalent album units. Album sales comprised 31,000 of that sum, while SEA units comprised 25,000, equal to 25.94 million on-demand official streams.
Two reissued and expanded sets shake up the rest of the top 10. Ariana Grande's petal jumps 15-6 after the release of a new deluxe edition. Beyoncé's former No. 1 B'Day re-enters at No. 8 after the release of its 20th anniversary expanded reissue.
What makes this stand out is staying power over size. Dandelion opened with 169,000 units in April, and now returns to the lead with less than half that figure, carried by steady streaming rather than a big sales spike.
The full Sept. 19-dated Billboard 200 will be posted on Billboard's website on Sept. 15.
