Will Ella Langley’s ‘Choosin’ Texas’ Pass Mariah Carey’s ‘Christmas’ for the All-Time Hot 100 Record for Weeks at No. 1 — And Then Just Keep Going?
Langley's country-pop smash is already up to 19 weeks atop the Hot 100 — leaving it just three shy of the record Carey has set with her holiday perennial.
Ella Langley's country-pop hit "Choosin' Texas" has spent its 19th week at the top of the Billboard Hot 100, tying the record previously held by Lil Nas X and Shaboozey's songs. This puts Langley in contention to become the second song in Hot 100 history to hold the No. 1 spot for 20 weeks, possibly overtaking Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" in the near future.
The lead she currently holds over the second-place song, Stella Lefty's "Boston," is substantial, with a 1.54-to-1 point advantage. The impressive longevity of "Choosin' Texas" is evident in its consistent performance despite interruptions by other popular artists. With no immediate threats on the horizon, Langley's reign remains a strong possibility, though challenges could arise from Stella Lefty and "Boston."
