Ella Langley - "You Look Like You Love Me" f/ Riley Green

[.indulgecountry]

Artist: Ella Langley f/ Riley Green
Single: "You Look Like You Love Me"
Album: Hungover
Label: Columbia
Impact Date: August 5, 2024
Writers: Ella Langley, Riley Green, Aaron Raitiere




Not an official radio single with an impact date yet, but this song has gone viral and totally blown up on streaming metrics, which is impressive since Ella hasn't even had a real try at radio yet and her debut album comes out next week. For context, this is already a bigger Hot 100 hit than anything Riley Green's ever done, lol. It debuted at #57 on the BB Country Airplay chart this week with a really healthy amount of audience, so it's clearly only a matter of time atp that it is officially made her debut single @ radio.

Is Ella on the same label as Megan now?

Yes. They're both under Columbia.

As a clarification is that Columbia Nashville, Columbia Records, or both?

Going purely by the label websites: both artists show up under Columbia Records' rosters, but only Megan shows up under Columbia Nashville. I'm not sure what to make of these distinctions, because both are signed to Sony, but there's so many different imprints and such under the same big umbrella that it's honestly hard to discern who is actually where. For instance, Megan's album is credited to herself on Spotify, "under exclusive license to Sony," so there's not even any mention of imprints there.

Officially going for country radio adds next week:

That’s amazing they are sending it. It should propel Ella to success quickly and build on Riley’s surprisingly good chart performance thus far with his single. It sounds wonderful although I find the lyrics to be very cliche (see someone out, say hi, love each other).

[Kanenrá:ke]

Heard someone playing this at work today in their office and they were singing along to it. It's connecting and possibly in a big way!

When's the last time a talking song like this was a country radio hit? They used to be a staple within the country genre, but it's definitely been a long time since something like this received significant airplay.

The last one that I can think of was George Strait's "Give it Away" in 2006. It was #1 for 2 weeks.

And the last no.1 talking song by a female I can think of is Donna Fargo's ''That Was Yesterday'' in 1977.

According to Wikipedia,To date, "That Was Yesterday" is the last all-spoken-word song to top the Billboard country chart.

I was subjected to a lot of current/newer country music last weekend, and I surprisingly really liked this one.

[.indulgecountry]

Makes a massive jump from 56-41 this week, more than doubling its audience. Ella is coming in HOT and I could not be happier to see this happening to such a great artist, especially a female! I'm also pretty optimistic that she'll be able to have more success with future singles on the back of this seeing how big its connecting, and just how well she seems to stream in general for songs with no radio airplay.

I forgot about Sam Hunt tbh.

Tbf, that's still a decade ago now, and his songs sound quite a bit different than the traditional "talking songs" of the country genre's history, as they were a bit more rhythmic in delivery/cadence. Good catch though.

I love this as I am a huge Ella and Riley fan, but am I the only one that gets "The Ride" by David Allan Coe vibes with this one? Maybe it's just the talking.

Kind of refreshing to have a female debut single climb up the chart so fast (#16 on Billboard after 10 weeks, and already at #15 on Mediabase as well). The music video I will say was also really creative and visually pleasing. Would love if this could race up the chart and be the song with a woman to hit #1 on Billboard. But I am also just happy this is seeing so much success regardless. 

Lastly this song is so catchy, or at least the chorus is. Something about the way it is done just works so well on a catchy level.

This continues to shoot up the chart, moving 16-12* on Billboard this week. It seems like there is a bit of shift at radio right now, and this is a right place/right time kind of song. Glad to see it doing so well, and I predict it will spend a few weeks at #1.
