Ella Langley’s ‘Choosin’ Texas’ Dethrones ‘Rein Me In’ to Score Its First Week at No. 1 in the U.K.
The country star's hit has enjoyed a slow-burn rise to the top of the chart.
Ella Langley has claimed the top spot on the U.K.'s Official Singles Chart with her song "Choosin' Texas," dethroning Sam Fender and Olivia Dean's "Rein Me In." The country superstar's track has been on a steady rise, debuting at No. 78 in January before reaching the top 40 the following month, the top 20 in April, and the top 10 in July.
It climbed to No. 3 in August and finally claimed the No. 1 position after an impressive eight-month journey. Sam Fender and Olivia Dean's "Rein Me In" has now fallen to No. 7, marking the end of its record-breaking 23-week run at the top. "Choosin' Texas" is also enjoying significant success in the U.S., where it has spent an impressive 20 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, surpassing Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road" and Shaboozey's "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" in this milestone.
Sienna Spiro's "Great Expectation" enters the top 10, becoming the new pop-soul artist's highest-charting number. Dolly Parton's three songs, "9 to 5," "Jolene," and "Islands In the Stream," collectively hold three spots in the top 10 for the first time since her passing on August 25.
