Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” rebounds a spot for another history-making week atop the Billboard Hot 100.

With an 11th week in command, the song becomes the sole longest-leading Hot 100 No. 1 by a woman with a country hit, defined as those that have hit Billboard’s multimetric Hot Country Songs chart. It breaks out of a tie with Debby Boone’s “You Light Up My Life,” which dominated the Hot 100 for 10 weeks (becoming the first song to reign for double-digit weeks) and reached No. 4 on Hot Country Songs in 1977.
