Ella Langley is on the verge of making Billboard history. Her breakout hit“Choosin’Texas”has now spent 21 weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100, putting her just one week away from tying Mariah Carey’s all-time record of 22 weeks atop the chart. What makes the run even more remarkable is that Langley’s song has returned to the top spot six separate times during its 31-week run, a feat no other song has accomplished in a single release cycle.
The song continues to gain momentum in every metric. It holds at No. 1 on Streaming Songs for a 21st week, the second-longest run in that chart’s history, and leads Hot Country Songs for a 39th week. It’s also climbing the pop and adult pop airplay charts, proving its appeal stretches far beyond country radio. The Hot 100’s top 10 currently features country heavy hitters like Stella Lefty and Morgan Wallen, along with Taylor Swift, signaling a major moment for the genre.
Whether“Choosin’Texas”ties or breaks the record next week, the conversation around it has already cemented its place in music history. It’s a song that listeners keep coming back to, and it’s showing no signs of slowing down. Do you think Ella Langley can catch Mariah Carey next week, or is her run finally coming to an end?
