ONE OF FIVE FEMALE COUNTRY ARTISTS TO HAVE A NO. 1 THIS YEAR ALONGSIDE TAYLOR SWIFT, MEGAN MORONEY, ELLA LANGLEY AND STELLA LEFTY
“ALL MY EXES” FEATURED ON NEW ALBUM, STAGES, OUT NOW VIA BIG LOUD RECORDS
CURRENTLY ON HER HEADLINING THE STAGES TOUR, WHICH INCLUDES HER RYMAN AUDITORIUM DEBUT IN NASHVILLE ON NOVEMBER 12
NASHVILLE, TENN. – After nine years, one of country’s hardest-working superstars – and one of the best voices in the genre – Lauren Alaina, has taken “the road less traveled” to climb her way back to where she belongs…the top of the radio charts. This week, Alaina earned the No.1 spot at country radio with her smash hit “All My Exes (feat. Chase Matthew), marking her fourth number one throughout her impressive career. Lauren has become one of only five female country artists to reach the top of the charts in 2026, joining an elite group of powerhouses including Ella Langley, Megan Moroney, Stella Lefty, and Taylor Swift. Alaina is also one of eight women to have earned multiple Country Airplay No.1s this decade.
“This one hits different,” says Alaina. “It feels so incredible to be 15 years into this amazing career and be back in the number one spot. There were many days where I wasn’t sure if I would ever get up there again, but I never gave up. My fans never gave up. My friends at country radio never gave up. My family at Big Loud fought and believed and helped make my dreams come true once again. Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen. I’ve been crying off and on for days now. I love y’all so much.”
Following her incredibly touching moment at the ACM Awards where she delivered a heartfelt intro for ACMs Lifting Lives (watch here), earlier this month Alaina performed her new track “Never Been In Love” (which features childhood friend Kane Brown) on Live with Kelly and Mark. The confessional track has become Alaina’s highest streaming debut to date.
Her recently released Stages was co-produced by hitmakers Joey Moi, Ben Johnson, Jacob Durrett, Mikey Reaves and Adam James. The 16-song collection chronicles the defining chapters of Alaina’s life with her signature lyrical candor and powerhouse vocals. Over the course of the album, she explores coming of age to starting a family and more, marked by three Stages – Stage One: The Dreaming, Stage Two: The Breaking, Stage Three: The Becoming.
Alaina will continue her headlining The Stages Tour this weekend in Lexington, Kentucky tonight and Cleveland, Ohio tomorrow. With additional stops in Philadelphia, Ohio and Michigan, Lauren will close out the tour by making her Ryman Auditorium debut in Nashville on November 12. Support across these final dates include rising artists Shane Profitt, and fellow American Idol alum Hannah Harper.
