Ella Langley ties record for longest-running #1 song
In the ever-shifting landscape of pop music, some songs don’t just ride the wave—they create a permanent current. Ella Langley’s country hit, Choosin’ Texas, is one of those enduring anthems, cementing its place as one of the biggest chart hits of the 2026 calendar year.
The song’s explosive popularity was first undeniable in February, when it soared to the top spot on the Hot 100, signaling a major shift in the music scene. Since then, Choosin’ Texas has demonstrated remarkable staying power, managing to shrug off competition and continue its ascent through the charts.
But the real story lies in its longevity. This week, the track proved that true musical endurance knows no bounds. Choosin’ Texas has returned to the number one position for its 19th consecutive week, a milestone that is genuinely staggering.
This remarkable run places the song in an exclusive category: it now ties for the longest-running number one hit in the Hot 100 history, excluding the Christmas season. It’s a testament not only to the song’s melody but also to the powerful, consistent connection it maintains with its audience.
