Rapper Drake has expressed public support for country singer Ella Langley.

Langley’s single “Choosin’ Texas” has achieved historic chart success. As of early September 2026, the track has spent 20 weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, making it only the second song in the chart's 68-year history to reach that milestone. It is the first non-holiday song to achieve 20 weeks at the top, surpassing the 19-week runs previously held by Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus’ “Old Town Road” and Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy).” The only song with a longer tenure at the top is Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You,” which has spent 22 weeks at number one.
