Ella Langley's 'Choosin' Texas' Ties Record with 19 Weeks at Hot 100 Summit
Ella Langley's single 'Choosin' Texas' has matched the longest non-holiday run at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, staying atop the chart for a 19th consecutive week.
Ella Langley's country-pop crossover "Choosin' Texas" remained at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for a 19th straight week, tying the record for the longest run at the top among non-holiday songs. The track first reached the summit in February and has since set several chart milestones.
The song joins Shaboozey's "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" and Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road" featuring Billy Ray Cyrus as crossover hits that dominated both country and pop airplay while also generating strong streaming and sales figures.
Mariah Carey's holiday classic "All I Want for Christmas Is You" continues to block any further record-breaking runs each holiday season, having held the top spot each year since its first number-one appearance in 2019.
In the latest radio-airplay data, Taylor Swift's "I Knew It, I Knew You" leads as the most-heard song, and country music occupies the Hot 100's four leading positions, underscoring the genre's current dominance.
