Ella Langley Claims the Hot 100 Crown — But Could Mariah Carey Take It Right Back This Holiday Season?
On the new Billboard Pop Shop Podcast , Katie & Keith are predicting how long Langley can hang on to her new chart record.
In a recent interview on the Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, Katie Atkinson and Keith Caulfield discussed Ella Langley's recent achievement of topping the Billboard Hot 100 chart with her song "Choosin’ Texas." The track has maintained the number one spot for an impressive 23 weeks, setting a new all-time record. However, the hosts also pondered the possibility of Mariah Carey reclaiming the crown later in the year.
The podcast delved into the timeline for Langley's reign at the top, as well as the potential weeks Carey could spend at the number one position. The discussion covered various factors that could influence the outcome, including how much longer Langley will hold the record and how many weeks Carey might have back at the top.
In addition to the Hot 100 record conversation, the podcast also featured chart news on Jhené Aiko's first No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart with her album Westside Whimsy. Furthermore, the hosts teased upcoming appearances, including an exclusive look at what viewers can expect from Sunday's 2026 MTV Video Music Awards, with Madonna set to perform.
