Ella Langley's 'Choosin' Texas' Marks 20 Weeks at No. 1 on Hot 100
The single has become the longest-running non-holiday song atop the Billboard Hot 100, reaching its 20th consecutive week at the top.
Ella Langley's single "Choosin' Texas" has remained at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for a 20th straight week, establishing the longest run for a non-holiday track in the chart's history. The song, which first reached the summit in February, is only the second title in the chart's 68-year existence to achieve at least 20 weeks at the top.
The only comparable record belongs to Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You," which returns to number one each holiday season and could extend its own total in future years.
"We loved the song when we wrote it, but none of us thought that it would be the song to do everything it's doing," Langley told Billboard, noting that the track continues to generate new milestones.
