A tune can dominate the most important ranking by overperforming when it comes to any of those metrics, or, more typically, a track hits No. 1 on the main consumption roster by doing well when it comes to all three. That's the case with Ella Langley's "Choosin' Texas," which holds atop the Billboard Hot 100 yet again this frame. The track is a bestseller and the most-streamed smash in the nation, though it does not appear at No. 1 on the Radio Songs ranking. Shockingly, it has never made it to that position. As "Choosin' Texas" once again commands the Digital Song Sales chart, standing out as the top-selling composition of any style on platforms like iTunes and Amazon, it moves up once more on the list of the longest-running rulers of all time. This frame, Langley’s tune breaking out of a tie with one of the catchiest pop cuts of the past several decades."Choosin’ Texas" Stands Alone With 12 Weeks at No. 1As of this period, "Choosin' Texas" has spent 38 weeks on the Digital Song Sales chart, and an even dozen of those stints have been at No. 1. Langley's hit is one of only nine to manage 12 frames in charge, and it stands alone as the ninth-longest-running ruler ever. MORE FOR YOUOnly a few days ago, when "Choosin' Texas" collected its eleventh turn in the penthouse, the country song tied "Happy" by Pharrell Williams. A little more than a decade ago, that blockbuster dominated for 11 periods before slipping from the summit for good.Ella Langley Outsells Toby Keith’s Patriotic SmashLuminate reports that in the tracking frame reflected on the newly-published Billboard charts, "Choosin' Texas" leads the Digital Song Sales ranking thanks to 7,350 purchases. That figure is down more than 1,000 from last time around, but it is still easily enough for Langley to beat every other cut in the U.S. The late Toby Keith returns at No. 2 with "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American)," which surges in sales thanks to the July 4 holiday. The patriotic smash sold just under 6,000 copies, and almost conquered the roster for the first time."Choosin' Texas" Could Match Three CollaborationsNext week, there's a high likelihood that "Choosin' Texas" will once again rank No. 1 on the Digital Song Sales chart. If that turns out to be the case, it will match three other bestsellers as one of the sixth-longest-running rulers of all time: "Low" by Flo Rida and T-Pain, "Uptown Funk" by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars, and "Closer" by the Chainsmokers and Halsey. Coincidentally – or perhaps not so – three high-profile collaborations all racked up a lucky 13 turns at No. 1 on the Digital Song Sales roster, and "Choosin' Texas" will almost certainly join them, becoming the only solo smash to reach that lucky figure and hold there.BTS Holds the Record With Two HitsTHE TONIGHT SHOW STARRING JIMMY FALLON — Episode 2272 — Pictured: (l-r) j-hope, Jin, Suga, Jimin (crouched), RM, Jung Kook, and V of musical guest BTS pose together backstage on Wednesday, March 25, 2026 — (Photo by: Todd Owyoung/NBC via Getty Images)Todd Owyoung/NBC via Getty ImagesTwo tracks by BTS are tied as the longest-running champions in the decades-long history of the Digital Song Sales chart. "Dynamite" became the first hit to manage 18 stays at the summit, with its streak beginning in 2020. The poppy cut continued its run in 2021, and only a few months later, "Butter" launched in the peak position and then went on to tie "Dynamite" with 18 frames leading the way. Both songs by the K-pop boy band passed "Despacito" by Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee, and Justin Bieber, which held the honor of being the longest-running No. 1 ever – with 17 weeks in the penthouse – for several years. In the coming weeks, "Choosin' Texas" may match and then pass not only "Low," "Uptown Funk," and "Closer," but also Shaboozey's "A Bar Song (Tipsy)," "Old Town Road" by Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus, and then "Despacito." Those cuts held onto the throne for 15, 16, and 17 weeks, respectively.ForbesElla Langley Ties Miley Cyrus, Charli XCX And ‘Encanto’By Hugh McIntyre
