Ella Langley’s breakout hit “Choosin’ Texas” has achieved a major milestone in music chart history. The track has now accumulated 20 consecutive weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100, securing its position as the second longest-running number one single in the chart’s history.
Released in October 2025, the song gained significant momentum over the summer months before reaching number one in early July. Its 20-week reign surpasses previous record-holders Shaboozey and Lil Nas X, making it the longest-running number one by a female country artist to date. The achievement underscores country music’s dominant presence on the charts this year, with the genre claiming the entire top five positions on the Billboard Hot 100 in early August.
Mariah Carey’s perennial holiday favorite “All I Want For Christmas Is You” remains the all-time leader with 22 weeks at number one, though that record benefits from annual boosts during the holiday season. Langley’s sustained success represents the longest reign for any non-holiday track on the chart, solidifying her status as one of the year’s biggest music stories.
