Ella Langley Passes One Of The Biggest Hits In Country Music History

The single also leads Hot Country Songs for 35 weeks and has become only the third track to reach that mark, Billboard said.

  • On Tuesday, August 18, country singer Ella Langley's hit "Choosin' Texas" secured an 18th week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking the fourth-longest reign in the chart's history.
  • Co-Written by Langley, singer Miranda Lambert, and songwriters Luke Dick and Joybeth Taylor, the track explores heartbreak's inevitability, resonating with listeners through its resigned acceptance of lost love.
  • Beyond the Hot 100, "Choosin' Texas" has ruled Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart for 35 weeks; superstar rapper Drake amplified Langley's profile by commenting "Goated Pen" on her Instagram post.
  • This week, "Choosin' Texas" returned to the top of the Digital Song Sales chart, selling 9,300 copies during the latest tracking frame while maintaining broad commercial momentum.
  • Langley now trails only a few all-time hits, including singer Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" with 22 weeks, as "Choosin' Texas" cements its 2026 dominance.
