Ella Langley ties Billboard Hot 100 record as Drake attends concert

Country singer Ella Langley is making music history as her hit single “Choosin’ Texas” has spent 19 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. This achievement ties the record for the longest-running non-holiday song at the top of the charts, matching the runs of Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” and Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy).”

Langley’s chart dominance has also drawn significant attention from rapper Drake. The Toronto artist was recently spotted at Langley’s sold-out concert at the Simmons Bank Arena in North Little Rock, Arkansas, where he was seen singing and dancing along to “Choosin’ Texas.” The two artists have previously exchanged public support on social media, with Drake praising Langley’s songwriting as “goated pen.”

Following his appearance at the show, reports indicated that Drake and Langley met backstage, fueling fan speculation regarding a potential musical collaboration between the hip-hop star and the country singer.
