Ella Langley’s Choosin’ Texas has notched its 22nd week atop Billboard’s Hot 100.
The feat means the song now ties with Mariah Carey’s All I Want for Christmas Is You as the longest running No. 1 of all time.
The country crossover megahit has also surpassed Old Town Road by Lil Nas X featuring Billy Ray Cyrus and Shaboozey’s A Bar Song (Tipsy), which both spent 20 weeks at the top.
The news comes just days after Langley scored a leading nine nominations for the 60th Annual CMA Awards, including Entertainer, Single, Album, Song, Female Vocalist, Musical Event, and Music Video of the Year.
Both Choosin’ Texas and Be Her are nominated for Single and Song of the Year.
Choosin’ Texas first reached No. 1 back in February. The song that Langley sings and co-wrote with Miranda Lambert and Joybeth Taylor has been there on and off ever since.
“This genuinely has shocked me to my core,” Langley told Backstage Country in June.
“I was talking to Miranda the other night. I mean, this is groundbreaking territory for all of us, all the writers on the song, everyone included. And it’s just crazy to see how many different people love this song, and why they love this song.”
With the latest milestone, Langley continues to solidify her spot atop the Grammy leaderboard for Best New Artist. She’s also tipped to be in the running for Record of the Year and Song of the Year for Choosin’ Texas. The official nominations for the 2027 Grammy Awards are scheduled to be revealed on 16 November.
