It’s interesting the demoralization that is occurring in the united States.  Thankfully, there are many who have not been duped into that demoralization.  However, with the release of the Epstein files, at least those they have released, it is becoming all too apparent that this is much more than merely sex trafficking minors for blackmail.  …

A huge win for women and traditional country music, indeed. This week, Ella Langley made history with her smash hit single “Choosin’ Texas,” as it reached the #1 spot on on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. As last week rolled to an end, “Choosin’ Texas” and reigning Grammy New Artist of the Year, Olivia Dean’s smash hit, “Man I Need,” were neck and neck in the battle for #1 on the Hot 100, and knowing that history was on the line, Langley would encourage fans to make a last-minute push for the track, rallying them to purchase the song on iTunes, which clearly worked. “Choosin’ Texas” rose from the #2 spot to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 (dated February 14th), becoming Langley’s very first #1 on the all-genre chart. In turn, she’s become just the seventh female country artist IN HISTORY to go #1 on the Hot 100 with a country song. View this post on Instagram As you might imagine, it’s a very exclusive list, which includes Jeannie C. Riley, Dolly Parton, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, Kacey Musgraves and most recently, Beyoncé. Jeannie C. Riley did it with Harper Valley PTA” in 1968, Dolly Parton did it with “9 to 5” in 1981, Carrie Underwood did it with “Inside Your Heaven” in 2005 (and she is the only country artist to debut at #1 on the Hot 100), Taylor Swift did it with “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” in 2012 (she was still classified as a country artist at this time), Kacey Musgraves did it as a featured artist with Zach Bryan on “I Remember Everything” in 2023 and Beyoncé did it with “Texas Hold ‘Em” in 2024, which was classified as a country song. So if you don’t include some rather obvious pop songs that were classified as country (Beyonce, Taylor Swift), or Kacey Musgraves feature on a Zach Bryan song… Ella really joins a class of just 4 solo female county artists. Additionally, with “Choosin’ Texas” spending its 11th week at #1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart, Langley becomes just the third female artist in history to have a #1 on both the Hot Country songs chart and Billboard Hot 100 simultaneously. With this, she joins Swift (“All Too Well [Taylor’s Version]” and “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together”) and Beyoncé (“Texas Hold ‘Em”). Even more incredibly, she is now the first female artist ever to capture triple up and score #1s on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs, Country Airplay and Hot 100 chart simultaneously. Along with today’s #1 spot on the Hot 100, “Choosin’ Texas” also remains the best-selling song of the year in the United States, surpassing Swift’s “The Fate of Ophelia” last Thursday. From the get to, it was obvious that the song was special, which Ella co-wrote with Miranda as well as Luke Dick and Joybeth Taylor, and Miranda is also featured on background vocals, and her touch and style is apparent throughout the entire song, which is probably why it’s one of my favorites Ella has ever released. Soaked in steel and full of heartbreak, it finds Ella reminiscing on a lost love who fell in love with a Texas girl, leaving her heartbroken in Tennessee. It’s the lead single from Ella’s forthcoming, highly-anticipated sophomore album Dandelion, and Ella took some time to thank fans for helping her achieve this incredible milestone, saying it “blows her mind every single day” what fans have done with it: “We did it!! ‘Choosin’ Texas’ is the #1 song on the Billboard Hot 100. I can’t thank y’all enough for what you’ve done with this song, it blows my mind every single day. Here’s to women & country music.” Amen to that… It’s incredibly impressive that she was able to pull this off, but that’s the power of a great country song, and what’s more, a traditional country song at that. She’s set up for huge debut when her new album, Dandelion, drops on April 10th: View this post on Instagram “Choosin’ Texas” Dandelion Tour Dates: 5/7/2026 Toledo, OH Huntington Center (+,&) 5/8/2026 St. Louis, MO Chaifetz Arena (+,&) 5/14/2026 Estero, FL Hertz Arena (@, &) 5/15/2026 Savannah, GA Enmarket Arena (@, &) 6/18/2026 Oklahoma City, OK Zoo Amphitheatre (+,&) 6/19/2026 Independence, MO Cable Dahmer Arena (+,&) 6/25/2026 Salem, VA Salem Civic Center (+,&) 6/26/2026 Wilmington, NC Live Oak Bank Pavilion at Riverfront Park (+,&) 7/23/2026 Pikeville, KY Appalachian Wireless Arena (#, %) 7/24/2026 Cary, NC Koka Booth Amphitheatre (#, %) 7/25/2026 North Charleston, SC North Charleston Coliseum (#, %) 7/30/2026 Gilford, NH BankNH Pavilion (@, %) 7/31/2026 Canandaigua, NY CMAC (@, %) 8/13/2026 Austin, TX Moody Center (#, &) 8/14/2026 Corpus Christi, TX Hilliard Center (#, &) 8/15/2026 Fort Worth, TX Dickies Arena (#, &) @ Kameron Marlowe + Dylan Marlowe # Kaitlin Butts & Gabriella Rose % Laci Kaye Booth The post “Here’s To Women & Country Music”: Ella Langley Thanks Fans For Support On Historic #1 Hit, “Choosin’ Texas” first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
