Ella Langley breaks Billboard Hot 100 record with ‘Choosin’ Texas’

Country singer Ella Langley has made music history with her hit single ‘Choosin’ Texas’, which has spent 24 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. This achievement breaks the previous record of 22 weeks held by Mariah Carey’s ‘All I Want for Christmas Is You’.

Beyond the United States, the song has reached No. 1 in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland. In the UK, it became the first country single to top the charts in over two decades. The track has generated significant commercial success, with Billboard estimating revenue in the tens of millions, including nearly $13.9 million when accounting for digital sales, streams, and radio airplay.

Langley, an Alabama native, co-wrote the song with Miranda Lambert, Luke Dick, and Joybeth Taylor. The single has amassed over 1.6 billion global streams and billions of views on TikTok. The success of the track has also propelled Langley’s sophomore album, ‘Dandelion’, to the top of the Billboard 200.
