Ella Langley's "Choosin' Texas" has reached a 12th consecutive week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, placing the single among just 26 songs in the chart's 68-year history to lead for a dozen weeks or more. Among songs by women without a male-billed co-artist, only four others have ever done it - Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" and "We Belong Together," Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You," and Brandy & Monica's "The Boy Is Mine." Langley is the only artist primarily known for country music to reach the mark.
The song's dominance extends well beyond the Hot 100. "Choosin' Texas" also leads Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart for a 30th week - just the fourth song ever to hold that chart so long - along with 13 weeks atop Streaming Songs, 11 weeks at No. 1 on Digital Song Sales, and a fifth week leading Songs of the Summer.
Langley isn't riding just one hit, either. She currently holds three simultaneous spots in the Hot 100's top 10 - "Choosin' Texas," "Be Her" at No. 3, and her Morgan Wallen duet "I Can't Love You Anymore" at No. 6 - marking her sixth week this year with three or more concurrent top 10s, more than every other artist combined.
The Alabama native, who has been open about her Christian faith throughout her breakout year - closing her seven-trophy ACM Awards sweep in May with the words "thank you, God" - continues to lead one of the biggest breakout years in modern country music history.
