Ella Langley and Morgan Wallen's "I Can't Love You Anymore" has achieved a record-setting debut on the Billboard Hot 100, landing at No. 7 on the chart dated May 9. This marks a significant moment, as it's the first time two primarily country music artists, both with lead billing, have entered the Hot 100's top 10 since Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton's "Islands in the Stream" in 1983.
Prior to this collaboration, the last time two country-focused artists shared lead billing in the Hot 100's top 10 was in October-November 1983. While other collaborations involving country artists have reached the top 10 in recent decades, they did not feature both acts equally billed as leads. "I Can't Love You Anymore" earned 16.7 million official U.S. streams and 10.8 million in radio airplay audience by April 30.
