Ella Langley has shattered the record for the most weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, with her country hit "Choosin' Texas" spending its 23rd week at the top spot. Last year, Langley released the now-infamous single, which topped both the Hot 100 and its country charts in February 2026. The track's success led to a No. 1 debut for her sophomore album, Dandelion, on both the Billboard 200 and Top Country Albums charts.
Langley's singles "Dandelion" and "Be Her" also reached the Top 10 on various charts, with "Be Her" reaching No. 2 on the Hot 100. Her July single "Loving Life Again" and the Morgan Wallen duet "I Can't Love You Anymore" also climbed the charts, with the latter peaking at No. 4 on the Hot 100. In August, Langley paid tribute to country icon Dolly Parton by performing her song "Jolene."
The singer is currently on tour, with dates in September and October across multiple cities. Fans can purchase tickets through Vivid Seats, using promo code COS20 for a $20 discount on orders over $200.
