Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” has dominated the Billboard Hot 100 in record fashion, ruling the Aug. 15-dated chart for a 17th week, the fourth-longest No. 1 run in the chart’s history. Among its latest triumphs, it rewrites the record for the most weeks on top for a non-holiday song by a woman, breaking out of a tie with Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men’s mid-‘90s classic, “One Sweet Day.”
Starting on the Hot 100 dated Feb. 14 (ironically, given Langley’s resignation in the losing-love song’s lyrics), “Choosin’ Texas” has made six ascents to No. 1, the most separate chart-topping stays ever for a title over a single release cycle.
