Ella Langley's 'Choosin' Texas' Reaches 17th Week At No. 1

Ella Langley's song 'Choosin' Texas' has reached a historic 17th week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, surpassing Mariah Carey's 'One Sweet Day' and becoming the fourth-longest-running No. 1 song of all time.

The song 'Choosin' Texas' was released in October 2025 and has broken multiple records, including becoming the first song by a solo female artist to simultaneously hold the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 and Country Airplay charts with different tracks.

In addition to its success on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, 'Choosin' Texas' has also reached No. 2 on the Billboard Global 200 chart and has spent 17 weeks at No. 1 on the Streaming Songs chart. The song has been streamed 24.9 million times in the United States from July 31 to August 6.

Ella Langley's collaboration with Morgan Wallen, 'I Can't Love You Anymore', has reached No. 1 on the Country Airplay chart, earning Langley her fifth No. 1 on the chart.

## What it means The success of 'Choosin' Texas' is a significant milestone for Ella Langley, who has been a rising country star since she scored a few minor hits with her first album in 2024. The song's ability to break multiple records and surpass songs by established artists like Mariah Carey is a testament to its enduring popularity.

## Why it matters The achievement is also notable for the country music genre, which rarely sees songs reach the top of the global charts. 'Choosin' Texas' nearly became the most popular song in the world, reaching No. 2 on the Billboard Global 200 chart, and was only blocked from the top spot by Shakira and Burna Boy's collaboration 'Dai Dai (FIFA World Cup Official Song 2026)'.

The song's success has also led to increased airplay on TouchTunes jukeboxes, with a 44% increase in plays in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter. With its impressive run on the charts, 'Choosin' Texas' is likely to continue to be a major player in the music industry for weeks to come.
