Ella Langley has set the record for most weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100, with the country smash “Choosin’ Texas.” Her breakout song officially entered its 23rd week at the No. 1 spot on the chart on Monday.
Last week, Langley tied Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” for the most weeks at No. 1, but now there’s a new queen of the chart. Throughout 2026, “Choosin’ Texas” has hit the apex of Billboard’s industry-standard song chart, with its latest run starting July 4th and lasting for 12 weeks and counting.
Chart-Topping Success
Jumping on the bandwagon, Drake recently teased a remix of the track featuring Don Toliver, which interpolates the chorus. “Choosin’ Texas” previously spent multi-week stretches at No. 1 in March, April, and May.
The history-making week is just the latest accomplishment of Langley’s past 12 months. In October 2025, she released the now record-breaking single “Choosin’ Texas,” which topped the Hot 100 and its country charts for the first time the following February. Her next two singles, “Dandelion” and “Be Her,” hit the Top 10 on multiple charts, with the latter reaching No. 2 on the Hot 100 and only blocked from the top slot by “Choosin’ Texas.”
Album and Tour Success
The singles propelled Langley’s sophomore album, Dandelion, to a No. 1 debut on the Billboard 200 and Top Country Albums charts. The record also earned critical praise and set the stage for a sold-out 2026 tour.
More recently, her July single “Loving Life Again” also climbed the charts, along with the Morgan Wallen duet “I Can’t Love You Anymore.” The latter reached No. 4 on the Hot 100. In August, she performed Dolly Parton’s “Jolene” in tribute to the late country icon.
Langley is currently on tour. Fans can look for tickets via Vivid Seats, where they can save $20 on their first order of $200 or more with promo code COS20 at checkout.
