All good things have to come to an end. There’s no denying that “Choosin’ Texas” has been a life changing hit for Ella Langley. After riding the highs of 2024’s Riley Green collaboration, “you look like you love me” all the way into the end of 2025, the Alabama native dropped what can only be described as a cultural phenomenon at this point with “Choosin’ Texas.” As it stands today, “Choosin’ Texas” is the longest-running #1 hit by a female country artist on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 (nine non-consecutive weeks), the only country song by a woman to triple up and go #1 on Billboard’s Hot 100, Hot Country and Country Airplay chart simultaneously and just the seventh country song solely recorded by a woman to go #1 on the Hot 100 in the history of the chart. In case that wasn’t enough, thanks to the success of her sophomore album, Dandelion, which debuted at #1 on the all-genre Billboard 200 and sold 169,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in its first week, Langley became just the second woman in history to hold the #1 album and song in the U.S. simultaneously with a country song/album. Of course, Taylor Swift was the first, going #1 with Red (Taylor’s Version) and “All Too Well (Taylor’s Version)” back in 2021. She’d make even more history back on May 18th when “Choosin’ Texas” spent its 10th week at #1 on the Hot 100 and “Be Her” held strong at #2 for a second straight week. In turn, she became the first country artist IN HISTORY to hold the Top 2 songs in the United States simultaneously for more than one week. This broke her out a tie with Morgan Wallen, who became the first country artist to do so upon the release of I’m The Problem last May, when he owned the top three songs with “What I Want,” “Just in Case” and “I’m the Problem.” All told, Ella has spent a record-setting 28 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, dating back to December 2025 – which means it’s the longest-running #1 song by a female artist in the history of the chart, and the only song that’s topped the chart in 2026. Until now. Taylor Swift has done the seemingly impossible and dethroned “Choosin’ Texas” at the #1 spot on this week’s Hot Country Songs chart with her new song “I Knew It, I Knew You.” The song, which marks Swift’s return to country music, was released back on June 5 and debuts in the top spot in its first week on the chart. “I Knew It, I Knew You” was written and recorded for the long-awaited fifth installment of the Toy Story franchise, and had been extensively teased by the pop star before it was officially announced early this month. Naturally Swifties blew it up, so it’s not really a surprise that it immediately shot to the top of not only the Hot Country Songs chart but also the all-genre Hot 100. And realistically, it was going to take someone like Swift to knock off Ella during this absolutely monster run she’s on right now. We’ll have to wait and see whether she’s able to reclaim her top spot (which wouldn’t be at all a surprise), or whether she’s going to have to wait until her next song tops the charts. Either way, it was a hell of a run.The post Ella Langley Dethroned At #1 For The First Time This Year…By Taylor Swift first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
