Ella Langley has set a new standard on the Billboard Hot 100 with her single Choosin’ Texas. The track just secured its 15th week at number one, marking a significant milestone in music chart history.

By hitting this 15-week mark, Langley surpasses previous long-running hits like Mariah Carey’s We Belong Together and Whitney Houston’s I Will Always Love You. This achievement makes Choosin’ Texas the longest-running number one song by a woman with no co-billed acts, excluding holiday music.

Data from the tracking period of July 17-23 shows the song maintained strong momentum with 25.2 million official streams and over 51 million radio airplay impressions. The track also remains a dominant force on the Hot Country Songs chart where it has now held the top spot for 33 consecutive weeks.

This success highlights a broader trend of country music dominance on the Hot 100. For the second time in history, country songs occupy the top four spots on the chart. Langley also holds other positions in the top ten, further cementing her current influence across the industry.

All data is authenticated by Luminate, which reviews all submissions before final rankings are published. As the charts update for the week of August 1, Langley’s sustained performance remains the primary story in music statistics.
