Ella Langley’s ‘Choosin’ Texas’ Adds 21st Week at No. 1 Hot 100, Moves to Within One of Tying All-Time Record

Ella Langley's latest single, "Choosin' Texas," has reached a significant milestone by securing a 21st week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. This achievement has placed her song within one position of tying the all-time record for the longest consecutive reign at the top spot. "Choosin' Texas" initially debuted at the peak in February and has already set multiple chart records since its release.

Now, let's take a closer look at the longest-leading hits on the Hot 100 since its inception in August 1958. The record for most weeks at No. 1 belongs to Mariah Carey with her 2019 Christmas hit "All I Want for Christmas Is You," which held the top position for an impressive 22 weeks. Following closely is Langley's own song, "Choosin' Texas," which has held the top spot for 21 consecutive weeks.

Shaboozey's "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" and Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road," featuring Billy Ray Cyrus, both share the third and fourth spots with 19 weeks each. Other notable entries include Morgan Wallen's "Last Night" (16 weeks), Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee's "Despacito" featuring Justin Bieber (16 weeks), and Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men's 1995 duet "One Sweet Day" (16 weeks).
