Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” continues for a sixth week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, dating to its first week atop the chart, when it became her first leader in mid-February.
Concurrently, Langley claims her second Hot 100 top 10 as “Be Her” bounds four places to No. 8. Both songs are from her sophomore LP, Dandelion, released Friday (April 10).
“Choosin’ Texas” concurrently tops the multimetric Hot Country Songs chart for a milestone 20th week, while “Be Her” holds at its No. 2 high on the survey. Notably, Langley becomes the second woman to chart two titles in the top 10 of the Hot 100 and Hot Country Songs simultaneously — Taylor Swift first did so with “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” and “Red” for a week in October 2012.
Further, Langley and Olivia Dean combine to make history among women in the Hot 100’s top 10. Read on for details in the full rundown of this week’s Hot 100 top 10 below.
The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data, the lattermost metric reflecting purchases of physical singles and digital tracks from full-service digital music retailers; digital singles sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites are excluded from chart calculations. All charts dated April 18, 2026, will update on Billboard.com Tuesday, April 14. For all chart news, you can follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X and Instagram.

‘Six’-cess
“Choosin’ Texas” ties for the third-most time at No. 1 on the Hot 100 among songs that have ruled both the genre-wide chart and Hot Country Songs. Here’s an updated leaderboard — with four of the eight longest-leading such hits having reigned in the last three years:
- 19 weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100, “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” Shaboozey, 2024
- 16, “Last Night,” Morgan Wallen, 2023
- 6, “Choosin’ Texas,” Ella Langley, 2026
- 6, “I Had Some Help,” Post Malone feat. Morgan Wallen, 2024
- 6, “Lady,” Kenny Rogers, 1980
- 6, “The Battle of New Orleans,” Johnny Horton, 1959
- 5, “Big Bad John,” Jimmy Dean, 1961
- 5, “Honey,” Bobby Goldsboro, 1968
Among women, “Choosin’ Texas” doubles up on the previous longest-leading Hot 100 No. 1 that also topped Hot Country Songs, Swift’s “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.”

‘Be Her’ Hits Top 10
Image Credit: Adam Kissick/SXSW Conference & Festivals Langley’s “Be Her” hits the Hot 100’s top 10 with 14.8 million streams (up 13%), 17.3 million in airplay audience (up 27%), as it’s being promoted as her newest single to country radio, and 2,000 sold (up 12%).
Plus, Langley controls the top two spots on Streaming Songs with “Choosin’ Texas” and “Be Her.” She’s the first woman who primarily records country music to score such a twofer; among all core country acts, she joins only Morgan Wallen (three weeks, 2025) in ranking at Nos. 1 and 2 simultaneously.

Langley & Dean’s Double-Double
Olivia Dean again boasts her first two Hot 100 top 10s in the bracket as “Man I Need” adds a sixth nonconsecutive week at its No. 2 high and “So Easy (To Fall in Love)” is steady at No. 6.
Meanwhile, with both Langley and Dean charting their first two Hot 100 top 10s each, via “Choosin’ Texas,” “Be Her,” “Man I Need” and “So Easy (To Fall in Love),” they’re the first acts to have their first two top 10s apiece in the region together since … just last August-October, when HUNTR/X and Saja Boys — both of KPop Demon Hunters — put aside their rivalry to share space in that part of the chart.
Among solo women, however, thanks to Langley and Dean’s hits, this week marks the first time since the Hot 100 began in 1958 that two women have aligned to have their first two top 10s each in the tier together.
