Ella Langley’s ‘Choosin’ Texas’ Breaks Record With 20th Week at No. 1
Confirmed
Last week, Ella Langley ‘s “Choosin’ Texas” hit its 19th week atop the Billboard Hot 100 , tying the records of songs by Shaboozey and Lil Nas X. Ella Langley ‘s stone smash “Choosin’ Texas” has racked up a phenomenal 20th week at Running No.
Dolly Parton Dies At the beginning of August, the genre claimed all top five spots on the Billboard 100 : “Choosin’ Texas,” followed by Wallen’s “Been By Now,” Taylor Swift’s “I Knew It, I Knew You,” the Wallen-Ella Langley collab “I Can’t Love You Anymore,” and Stella Lefty’s “ Boston.” Ella Langley released her sophomore album Dandelion in April via Sawgod/Columbia.
“Choosin’ Texas” was first released in October 2025 and landed Ella Langley her first Number One song in February. Dolly Parton Dies At the Alabama stop of the tour, Ella Langley paid tribute to Dolly Parton and covered “Jolene” in wake of her death last week.
“Choosin’ Texas” this week broke the tie with Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” featuring Billy Ray Cyrus, which now sits at Running No. Ella Langley’s Dandelion tour continues this week, stopping at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey on Sept.
In many if not most ways, Ella Langley’s feat is more remarkable. The current record for most weeks spent atop the Billboard Hot 100 is held by Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You.” That song has spent 22 weeks at Number One, and gets a steady boost every holiday season.
Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” holds the overall record with 22 weeks at the summit, but that includes chart-topping runs during the past seven years. Now, after entering its 20th week at Number One, the track has cruised past her fellow countrymen and is the second longest-running Number One single in Billboard Hot 100 history.
