Ella Langley Ties Elton John, Bruno Mars And Whitney Houston
Ella Langley has reached another major milestone in her career. Her hit single Choosin’ Texas now sits at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for the fourteenth week. This achievement places the song in the history books alongside iconic tracks that held the top spot for the same duration.
By securing this fourteen-week run, Langley joins an elite list of legendary performers. This group includes Whitney Houston for I Will Always Love You, Elton John for his Candle in the Wind 1997 release, and the collaboration between Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars on Uptown Funk. The list also features hits by Mariah Carey, Boyz II Men, the Black Eyed Peas, and Los del Río.
Choosin’ Texas has displayed remarkable endurance since its first appearance at the summit back in February. Despite consistent competition from major artists like Taylor Swift, Drake, and Ariana Grande, the track continues to perform strongly across streaming and sales platforms. This latest victory confirms its status as a defining song of 2026.
Langley now looks toward the next potential milestone. If the song maintains its current position for just one more week, it will match Harry Styles and his hit As It Was. While the all-time record held by Mariah Carey remains at twenty-two weeks, the persistence of Choosin’ Texas on the charts suggests it will remain a significant force in the music industry for some time to come.
