Ella Langley Leaps Past Taylor Swift for Country History as ‘Choosin’ Texas’ Tops Hot 100 for 4th Week
Plus, Olivia Dean earns her second Hot 100 top 10 with "So Easy (To Fall in Love)."
Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” holds for a historic fourth week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song first led in mid-February and added its second week on top at the beginning of March.
“Choosin’ Texas” solely claims the most weeks ever spent atop the Hot 100 for a song by a woman that also hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart, one-upping Taylor Swift’s three-week Hot 100 reign with “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” in 2012.
Beyond “Choosin’ Texas” and “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” three No. 1 country hits by women topped the Hot 100 for two weeks each: Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold ‘Em” in 2024 and Dolly Parton’s “Islands in the Stream,” with Kenny Rogers (1983), and “9 to 5” (1981).

A Traditional Country Song is Now The First 4-Week #1 All-Genre By A Country Woman
The records just keep on coming for Ella Langley and her mega hit “Choosin’ Texas.” But this one might be the biggest of them all, taking Ella somewhere that no woman in country music has ever gone before. This week, Ella Langley marks four weeks total for “Choosin’ Texas” being the most popular song in all of music, topping Billboard’s all-genre Hot Country Songs chart at #1. This is something that’s never happened before for a country woman in history. Not even Taylor Swift accomplished this when she was still considered “country” with her massive crossover hits. The closest Swift ever got was three weeks at #1 for “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” in 2012.Only three other songs from country women made it to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks. This includes Dolly Parton’s “9 to 5” from 1981, and the crossover hit “Islands in the Stream” with Kenny Rogers in 1983. Of course, Kenny shares in the accolades for the second one. Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold ‘Em” was also classified as country, but only spent two weeks at #1 as well. What all of these other songs have in common is they were distinctly pop crossover tracks. “Choosin’ Texas” has officially crossed over in to pop and in a big way, but it’s ultimately still a traditional-leaning country song about two-step dancing with prominent steel guitar. That’s what makes this feat so phenomenal, especially since Ella didn’t need a male duet partner or hip-hop remix to accomplish it. Along with the record-setting week atop the Billboard Hot 100, “Choosin’ Texas” also spends its 17th week at #1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. It’s also enjoying its fourth week at #1 on the Streaming Songs chart, while it also sits at #2 on the Digital Songs Sales chart, and #9 on the all-genre Radio Songs chart. Simply put, “Choosin’ Texas” remains a monster, and is now one of the most popular and accomplished songs in country music history. Named Saving Country Music’s 2025 Single of the Year, the song was co-written and co-produced by Miranda Lambert with Ella Langley. Luke Dick and Joybeth Taylor also share songwriting credits. “Choosin’ Texas” is showing a teeny tiny indication of slowing down. It’s streams this week of 21.8 million is officially down 4%, and its radio audience is down an estimated 3%. But the song released in October of 2025 still might be on track to be one of the biggest singles in all of music all year. Ella Langley’s new album Dandelion is set for release April 10th, and is also likely to soar on the charts upon release. It’s not that country music has a new superstar. It’s that America music has a new superstar. And this one is country. – – – – – – – – – – –
