Ella Langley’s breakout hit “Choosin’ Texas” has become the longest‑running No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart by a solo female artist since 1958, and she is the first woman to occupy the top three positions simultaneously for multiple weeks.

27‑Week Reign Surpasses Gabby Barrett’s 2020‑21 Record

According to Luminate data, “Choosin’ Texas” logged 27 million U.S. streams,48.9 million radio audience impressions and 8,000 sales during the May 22‑28 tracking week. The track first reached the summit in early December after debuting at No. 7 in November, and it has now eclipsed Gabby Barrett’s 2020‑21 single “I Hope” as the longest‑running No. 1 by a woman with no other credited artists.

Triple Chart Sweep: No. 1, 2, and 3 for Five Weeks

Langley’s historic run also allowed her to occupy the top three positions on Hot Country Songs simultaneously for five consecutive weeks. “Choosin’ Texas” sits at No. 1, “Be Her” at No. 2, and her collaboration with Morgan Wallen, “I Can’t Love You Anymore,” holds at No. 3. No other female artist has ever maintained a triple chart sweep for more than one week.

Comparing the Longevity of the Top‑Three Songs

Only three songs in Hot Country Songs history have spent more weeks at No. 1 than “Choosin’ Texas”: Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line’s “Meant to Be” (50 weeks, 2017‑18), Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” (45 weeks, 2024‑25) and Sam Hunt’s “Body Like a Back Road” (34 weeks, 2017). Langley’s achievement places her squarely among these rare milestones.

Who Co‑Wrote and Co‑Produced the Hit?

Langley co‑wrote “Choosin’ Texas” with Luke Dick, Miranda Lambert and Joybeth Taylor, and co‑produced the track with Lambert and Ben West. Reflecting on the song’s rise, Langley described the moment as surreal, recalling a call from her label with her team on speaker: “We loved the song when we wrote it, but none of us thought that it would be the song to do everything it’s doing.”
