Fans from all genres are still "Choosin' Texas," and that's setting records for Ella Langley.
The Alabama native tops the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 for a third time this week, tying Taylor Swift's record for the most weeks ever by a title that hit #1 on the Hot Country Songs chart in 2012: "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together."
Ella's latest feat bests Beyonce's "Texas Hold 'Em" from 2024, Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers' "Islands in the Stream" from 1983 and Dolly's "9 to 5" from 1981, all two-week #1s on the Hot 100.
"Choosin' Texas" also remains atop Billboard's Country Airplay tally for a third week and the comparable Mediabase chart for a second time.
