Ella Langley Continues Her Dominance As “Choosin’ Texas” Spends Its 12th Week At #1 On The Billboard Hot 100

Yet another multi-week #1 stretch for the biggest hit of the year. If you think it’s been hard to keep up with all the headlines surrounding Ella Langley and her generational run over the past nine months, I wouldn’t even blame you at this point. 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, 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.” After a five-week drought from the top spot, the Alabama native returned to #1 for its 11th week last Monday. In turn, she gained sole possession of the longest-leading chart-topper on the Hot 100 recorded by a woman in country music, breaking out of a tie with Debby Boone’s 1977 hit, “You Light Up My Life,” which topped the all-genre chart for 10 weeks (and peaked at #4 on the Hot Country Songs chart). This week, “Choosin’ Texas” remained at #1 for its 12th frame, extending her lead for the longest #1 hit by a woman in country music. In case that wasn’t enough, she also owns three of the Top 10 songs, with “Be Her” staying at #3 and “I Can’t Love You Anymore” with Morgan Wallen rising to #6. View this post on Instagram As for which records “Choosin’ Texas” broke this time around, it is now one of only 25 songs in the Hot 100’s 68-year history to stay at #1 for a dozen weeks or more. Even more incredibly, it’s one of only five tracks in Hot 100 history to be recorded solely by a woman, joining the likes of Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” and “We Belong Together,” Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You” and Brandy & Monica’s “The Boy Is Mine.” The track continues its dominance on other Billboard charts as well, notching its 13th week at #1 on Streaming Songs, its 11th week on Digital Song Sales and its 30th week on Hot Country Songs, which becomes only the 4th song in country music history to spend at least 30 weeks at #1. Finally, “Choosin’ Texas” is eyeing to become Billboard’s Song of the Summer as well, notching its fifth week at #1 on the chart. If it holds at the end of August, Langley will become the second country artist in history to own the all-genre Song of the Summer, joining Morgan Wallen (“Last Night” and “I Had Some Help”). “Choosin’ Texas” The Dandelion Tour Dates 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 BoothThe post Ella Langley Continues Her Dominance As “Choosin’ Texas” Spends Its 12th Week At #1 On The Billboard Hot 100 first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
