Ella Langley’s“Choosin’Texas”has officially spent 22 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, tying Mariah Carey’s“All I Want for Christmas Is You”for the longest reign in the chart’s history. Her album Dandelion also returned to No. 1 on the Billboard 200, making her the first woman this decade to score four Country Airplay top 10s from a single album. The latest is“Loving Life Again,”which climbed to No. 8, joining“Choosin’Texas,”“Be Her,”and her Morgan Wallen duet“I Can’t Love You Anymore.”The only artist with more top 10s from one album is Shania Twain, who notched eight from Come On Over in 1997-99.
Twain pops up elsewhere on this week’s charts. She guests on Kane Brown’s new song“Boots,”an answer to her 1995 hit“Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under,”which debuted at No. 36 on Hot Country Songs. Over on the Billboard 200, Beyoncé’s B’Day reentered at No. 8 on its 20th-anniversary deluxe reissue, its first chart appearance since 2008. Slovak singer-songwriter Adéla made her U.S. breakthrough with a No. 4 debut for her album Prima and her first Hot 100 top 40 as“Aint in LA”jumped from 57 to 30.
It was a week where country held its own at the very top of the charts while pop, R&B, and international artists all made noise of their own. Langley’s run now stands alongside one of the most played songs on the planet, and she’s still climbing with a new single. Which Ella Langley song hooked you first:“Choosin’Texas,”“Be Her,”or the Morgan Wallen duet? Let us know in the comments.
