Ella Langley breaks Hot 100 chart record
Some songs simply refuse to die, and Billboard Hot 100 superstar Ella Langley’s track, Choosin’ Texas, is a prime example of musical immortality. This unassuming country anthem has achieved an almost unbelievable feat: it is now the longest-reigning non-holiday song in the history of the chart.
As of recent weeks, Choosin’ Texas sits firmly at the top of the US chart, having just secured its 20th week at No. 1. This incredible tenure places it in a unique category, setting a new benchmark for longevity in mainstream music.
The song joins an exclusive club of chart titans. It now shares the title for the longest-running No. 1 single with Lil Nas X, whose Old Town Road holds the record for the longest continuously running number one song in chart history. It also ties with Shaboozey, whose A Bar Song (Tipsy) recently cemented his place among the chart royalty.
While Lil Nas X still holds the record for consecutive weeks at the top, Choosin’ Texas proves that sustained, gentle popularity can conquer chart history. The song has also demonstrated its global appeal, dominating the Canadian charts for seventeen weeks, even trailing the massive success of Shaboozey’s hit.
In the grand timeline of chart dominance, the achievement is remarkable. Even legendary hits like Mariah Carey’s All I Want for Christmas Is You—which has topped the charts for twenty-two non-consecutive weeks—can be compared to this track’s relentless run. Choosin’ Texas continues to show that sometimes, the quietest melodies are the ones that truly capture the world’s attention.
