Ella Langley’s 'Choosin' Texas' Holds No. 1 Spot in the US for Record-Breaking Duration
Ella Langley has set a new record on the Billboard Hot 100, with her song Choosin' Texas remaining at number one for 23 weeks, surpassing any previous entry. The 27-year-old country singer achieved this milestone after the track debuted in November 2025, though she had to share the top spot intermittently with artists such as Ariana Grande and Taylor Swift before securing an unbroken streak since late June. Langley equaled Mariah Carey’s holiday record but must maintain her position through year-end to secure the all-time title. In an Instagram video, Langley expressed gratitude to fans, noting the life-changing impact of the song on herself, its writers, and her family. Her success contributes to a broader surge in country music popularity, with other country tracks also dominating the current top three.
