Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” Is The Fastest Solo Female Song To Reach The Country Radio Top 10 This Decade
Closing out the year, breaking records.
Ella Langley has had a standout year to say the least, and this is not the first record that the Alabama native has set in 2025.
There is no denying that Ella Langley has been on a hot streak since her viral duet “You Look Like You Love Me” featuring Riley Green. The song was the first song in CMA Award history to win Music Video of the Year, Musical Event of the Year, Song of the Year, and Single of the Year. And Ella Langley might be on track to do the same thing with her latest single, “Choosin’ Texas.”
“Choosin’ Texas” has been such a success, in fact, that it scored Langley her first-career #1 hit on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart, rising from #4 to #1.

The track, which was now famously co-written with Miranda Lambert (along with Joybeth Taylor and Luke Dick), was released on October 17 and quickly became one of the most buzzed-about songs of the year for a couple of reasons.
The release of the single added fuel to the fire of the seemingly never-ending online drama surrounding Langley and Green’s relationship, with countless fans online speculating whether the song was written about Green himself. This theory was mainly due to the single’s artwork depicting a couple, a man wearing a cowboy hat and a blonde woman, in a red convertible, which made fans once again stir up rumors surrounding the alleged “love triangle” between Langley, Green and Megan Moroney.
Unsurprisingly, Langley would all but deny these rumors, telling fans at her Athens, Georgia, concert back in October that she’ll never reveal who the song is about.
“This girl’s up here, she’s trying to get me to spill the tea on who it’s about. Baby, I ain’t ever gonna do that. I ain’t never gonna do that. But I am gonna play the song, it’s called ‘Choosin’ Texas.’”
However, I don’t think it matters who the song is about, because it’s one of the best she’s ever put out, and it’s undoubtedly a fan favorite. The hit has been such a fan favorite that it’s making waves in streaming and on the radio as well. Miranda Lambert recently shared a graphic highlighting all the milestones the single has achieved since its October 17 release date, noting:
“Y’all sure are Choosin’ Texas. Proud of this song Ella Langley.”
“Choosin’ Texas” racked up quite a list of honors, including the Spotify & Billboard #1 Best Country Song of 2025, reaching number one on the Apple Music Chart and the Billboard Hot Country Songs Chart, and it had a four-week run as the number one country song in the UK.
However, one of the most notable notes on this list is slightly hidden at the bottom and might be one of the most important… According to Mediabase, “Choosin’ Texas” was the fastest solo female song to reach the top 10 at US Country Radio this decade.
It reached the top 10 in just eight weeks, which broke Lainey Wilson’s record for “Watermelon Moonshine,” which took 12 weeks. If this does not prove that Ella Langley is a force to be reckoned with… I’m not sure what does. Keep the hits coming, girl.
