Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” debuted on the Hot Country Songs chart in November 2025, and the track only needed about a month before it worked its way to No. 1. It would not be long before “Choosin’ Texas” stood out as not only the most-consumed country cut in the United States, but also the most popular song of any style.
Now, more than half a year later, “Choosin’ Texas” is still in charge of the Billboard Hot 100, the most competitive songs tally in the nation, and unsurprisingly, it also controls the Hot Country Songs roster yet again. As Langley’s breakout hit earns another stay in the highest rung on the biggest country rundown, it ends one historic tie and moves up on a historic ranking.
Ella Langley Has Reigned Now for 35 Weeks
“Choosin’ Texas” is steady at No. 1 on the Hot Country Songs chart this week. The tally lists the most popular country songs in the U.S., and it is compiled using a combination of streams, sales and radio airplay data. As of this frame, “Choosin’ Texas” has now led the charge for 35 of the 42 weeks it has spent somewhere on the roster.
Ella Langley Breaks a Historic Tie
“Choosin’ Texas” becomes only the third single in history to spend at least 35 weeks at No. 1 on the Hot Country Songs chart. Last time around, Langley’s smash was tied with Sam Hunt’s “Body Like a Back Road,” which held on for 34 stints beginning in 2017. Now, “Choosin’ Texas” stands alone as the third-longest-running ruler ever, while “Body Like a Back Road” falls to fourth place on the all-time list.
Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line Still Lead
Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line claim the sturdiest No. 1 in Hot Country Songs history. Their unlikely collaboration “Meant to Be” ruled for 50 frames, just shy of a complete year. Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” comes next. That introductory smash reached the summit in 2024 and continued to reign into the following year, racking up a total of 45 turns in the spotlight.
Ella Langley Blocks Morgan Wallen From No. 1 Again
Once again, “Choosin’ Texas” prevents Morgan Wallen’s new single “Been By Now” from becoming another leader for the singer on the Hot Country Songs chart. Last week, “Been By Now” debuted at No. 2, though Wallen did replace Langley atop several other rosters, including the Country Streaming Songs and Digital Song Sales charts. In both instances, “Choosin’ Texas” has taken back its control.
Ella Langley Makes Billboard Hot 100 History
“Choosin’ Texas” is unmoved at No. 1 on two Billboard charts this week. In addition to the Hot Country Songs ranking, it remains in charge of the Billboard Hot 100. The country smash earns a historic seventeenth week atop the busy roster, the most important for songs in America.
With 17 weeks at No. 1, “Choosin’ Texas” breaks out of a tie with “One Sweet Day” by Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men, “Despacito” by Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee and Justin Bieber, and Wallen’s own “Last Night,” which all stopped after 16 frames. “Choosin’ Texas” now stands alone as the fourth-longest-running No. 1 in the history of the Billboard Hot 100.
Ella Langley Return to No. 1 on Three Additional Charts
It’s a huge week for “Choosin’ Texas,” which leads three rosters it did not command just days ago. The single returns to No. 1 on the Country Streaming Songs and Digital Song Sales charts, while also reclaiming the summit on the all-genre Streaming Songs tally. In every case, Wallen’s “Been By Now” backtracks after opening in the loftiest rung last period.
