Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” spends a 28th week at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart (dated June 13), adding another record to its run. The song passes Gabby Barrett’s 2020-21 hit “I Hope” as the longest-leading hit by a woman with no other credited recording artists since the survey became the genre’s main songs chart in 1958.

(Charlie Puth joined for a pop remix of “I Hope,” but wasn’t listed on Hot Country Songs.)
