Lauren Alaina Earns Fourth No. 1 With 'All My Exes' Featuring Chase Matthew
Alaina's new album STAGES is out now via Big Loud Records, and she is currently headlining THE STAGES TOUR.
Lauren Alaina has earned her fourth No. 1 song at country radio with 'All My Exes (feat. Chase Matthew),' nine years after her last chart-topper. The achievement makes her one of five female country artists to reach the top of the charts in 2026, joining 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.'
Her recently released album 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 and Cleveland, Ohio. 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.
