Simply unreal numbers. As we sit in 2026, there’s simply no denying that Ella Langley is the hottest star in country music. Launching off the success of her Riley Green collaboration, “you look like you love me” throughout 2024 and 2025, the Alabama native has become nothing short of a phenomenon thanks to the megahit that is “Choosin’ Texas.” In case you haven’t been keeping up with “Choosin’ Texas’” success, it just spent its 13th week at #1 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100. As it stands today, “Choosin’ Texas” is the longest-running #1 hit by a female country artist on the 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 charts simultaneously and just one of 25 songs in history to stay at #1 for 12+ weeks on the Hot 100. 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 would also capture other records on the Hot 100, such as becoming the first country artist IN HISTORY to hold the Top 2 songs in the United States simultaneously for more than one week and the first female country artist to score three of the Top 4 hits on the Hot 100 in a single week with country songs, becoming one of only nine artists in any genre to accomplish this feat. Langley’s generational success is not just limited to the Billboard charts, however. Back in June, “Choosin’ Texas” was also named the most-played song on TouchTunes, the popular digital jukebox platform, for the first half of 2026. Yesterday, Langley might have captured her most impressive feat yet. As reported by Luminate, “Choosin’ Texas” is the most-streamed song in all of music so far in 2026 in the United States with a staggering 570.9 million streams across platforms, beating out the likes of veteran superstars such as Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars, Bad Bunny and more. In case that wasn’t impressive enough, it currently holds a staggering 230 million-stream lead on the second-most-streamed track, Olivia Dean’s “Man I Need.” Top 10 most streamed songs of 2026 in the U.S. (midyear; via Luminate): #1.

So… — Talk of the Charts (@talkofthecharts) July 15, 2026 It doesn’t just stop at “Choosin’ Texas,” however. Langley’s other smash hit, “Be Her,” also makes an appearance at #4, allowing her to own two of the Top 5 most-streamed songs in the country. Diving into the numbers, “Choosin’ Texas” has been streamed nearly three million times per day this year, averaging 2,927,692 streams per day across platforms. As for “Be Her,” it averages nearly 1.5 million streams per day, sitting at 1,482,564. Though Morgan Wallen has blown expectations through the roof in terms of all-genre hit songs over the past few years with the likes of “Last Night” and “Heartless,” the massive success of “Choosin’ Texas” over the year has stamped its place in history as one of the most successful songs in the history of the genre. It’s hard to even understate its impact, especially for a female country artist, at this point in its run up the charts, and it’s still showing no signs of slowing down any time soon.
