Ella Langley 2026 Dandelion Tour & Record-Breaking Chart Run

Entities: Choosin’ Texas · Billboard Hot 100 · Ella Langley · Billboard Top Country Albums chart · I'm the Problem

Overview

Ella Langley’s single “Choosin’ Texas” solidified its historic Billboard Hot 100 dominance with a fifteenth consecutive week at number 1 in July 2026, the longest run for any non‑holiday solo female artist. The achievement matches the 15‑week runs of Harry Styles and Morgan Wallen and surpasses the former 14‑week record shared by Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston. Billboard noted the track was the most‑streamed song in the United States during the first half of 2026, logging roughly 571 million on‑demand streams.

The chart success fuels the ongoing Dandelion Tour, now featuring a Texas leg: Austin’s Moody Center on Aug 13, Corpus Christi’s Hilliard Center on Aug 14, Fort Worth’s Dickies Arena on Aug 15, and a return to Lubbock’s United Supermarkets Arena on Oct 10. The platinum‑certified *Dandelion* album remains a fixture on the Top Country Albums chart, while Langley’s other hits stay in the Hot 100 top ten, reinforcing her unprecedented presence on country and pop charts alike.
