Ella Langley’s ‘Choosin’ Texas’ Surpasses Mariah Carey’s Record for Longest‑Running No.1 on Billboard Hot 100

Ella Langley’s country‑pop single "Choosin' Texas" has logged its 23rd week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, eclipsing Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" as the longest‑running chart‑topper. The track first entered the Hot 100 in November 2025, broke into the top 10 in January, and reached No. 1 in February. It has also spent 41 weeks at the summit of Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart. The song was written during a retreat with Miranda Lambert, who inspired the Texas‑themed narrative and later executive‑produced Langley’s next record. Langley celebrated the milestone on Instagram, thanked fans, and announced plans to continue touring across the country. The record‑breaking run marks a historic crossover moment for country music on the pop‑chart arena.
