Ella Langley’s hit song “Choosin’ Texas” reached its 23rd week at the top of the Billboard Hot 100, thereby making music history.
The previous 22-week record set by Mariah Carey’s timeless holiday hit, “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” is surpassed by the country hit. “Choosin’ Texas,” which was released by SAWGOD/Columbia Records and marketed to country radio by Triple Tigers, had its Hot 100 debut in November 2025 and peaked in February 2026.
Langley co-wrote the song with Joybeth Taylor, Luke Dick, and Miranda Lambert.
The single’s sustained dominance has been fueled by massive streaming activity, country radio airplay, and widespread viral momentum across social media platforms. Industry analysts attribute the song’s historic longevity to its crossover appeal, blending traditional country storytelling with modern production that has kept it at the peak of domestic streaming charts for over five months.
Expressing her gratitude on social media, Langley thanked her fans and collaborators for driving the song to unprecedented heights, calling the achievement beyond anything she could have imagined when releasing the track. With steady streaming numbers showing no immediate signs of slowing down, “Choosin’ Texas” continues to extend its record-breaking reign as the longest-running No. 1 single in Billboard Hot 100 history.
