Ella Langley's 'Choosin' Texas' Tops Billboard Hot 100 for 10th Consecutive Week

Ella Langley adds her latest week of chart history as “Choosin’ Texas” tallies a 10th week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 . Only 4% of all leaders over the survey’s 67-year archives have reached the milestone — and the achievement is even rarer among country hits.

The song, which tops multimetric Hot Country Songs chart for a 25th week, is one of just four songs to have ruled the Hot 100 for 10 or more weeks and made the Hot Country Songs top five; notably, three have done so in the last three-plus years. Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” led the lists for 19 and 45 weeks, respectively, in 2024-25, following Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night” (16 and 25 weeks in 2023). Debby Boone’s “You Light Up My Life” became the first song ever to dominate the Hot 100 for double-digit weeks (10) and hit No. 4 on Hot Country Songs in 1977.

(Honorable mention: Dolly Parton wrote “ I Will Always Love You,” which Whitney Houston took to No. 1 on the Hot 100 for 14 weeks in 1992-93. Parton sent two versions of the beloved ballad to the top of Hot Country Songs, in 1974 and 1982.)

Langley sets another mark on the latest Hot 100: “Be Her” holds at its No. 2 high, making her the first artist known for primarily recording country music ever to claim chart’s the top two spots simultaneously for multiple weeks. Among all core-country acts, she passes Wallen, who doubled up for a week last year.

Among other highlights in the Hot 100’s top 10, Bruno Mars hits a new career radio high with “I Just Might” and Olivia Dean becomes the first British woman ever to chart her first two top five hits in the region together — a feat that among all artists was first earned by The Beatles.
