Ella Langley is doing the impossible on the Billboard Hot 100. Her smash single, “Choosin’ Texas,” released October 17th, 2025 peaked at number-one on February 14, 2026. It has yet to fall from its glorious spot, owning the nation in an unusual genre for the Top 40.

This week is massive for the music industry. The track is currently tying a record currently held by Mariah Carey and her seasonal anthem, “All I Want for Christmas is You,” at 22 weeks straight at #1.

Ella likely never expected such a crossover with her country twang, yet the states are loving her– not just Texas.

Neither artist has come out explicitly saying anything regarding this once-in-a-lifetime accolade, however, Ella Langley replied in few words and emojis to the Billboard chart this week. Her reaction was a humble “22 weeks” with a “🥹” and “🤯” on her Instagram repost of the charts.

In our waiting until next week, here are some other crazy statistics for “Choosin’ Texas.” She became the twelfth woman since 2000 to break the top five with a country song and it is the longest-running number-one hit on the Billboard Hot 100 by a female country artist ever.

Will America continue to choose Ella Langley next week to crown her country crossover as the longest running number-one on the Billboard Hot 100 ever?
