Ella Langley’s ‘Choosin’ Texas’ Ties Mariah Carey for Most Weeks Atop Streaming Songs Chart
Both “Choosin’ Texas” and “All I Want for Christmas Is You” have spent 26 weeks at No. 1.
Ella Langley's country song "Choosin' Texas" has matched Mariah Carey's classic "All I Want for Christmas Is You" as the most weeks at No. 1 on Billboard's Streaming Songs chart. "Choosin' Texas" has held the top spot for its 26th frame in the Billboard survey dated Oct. 24. In the week ending Oct. 15, the song garnered 19.8 million chart-eligible streams in the U.S., a 5% decrease compared to the previous period (Oct.
2-8), according to Luminate. "Choosin' Texas" debuted at No. 1 on the chart dated Jan. 31 and has spent significant time at the top since, with its longest run being eight weeks between Aug. 15 and Oct. 3. Both "Choosin' Texas" and Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" are among the three songs to achieve 20 or more weeks at No. 1 on the Streaming Songs chart since its inception in 2013.
Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road" also achieved 20 weeks at No. 1. While Langley may secure the record by month-end, Carey generally tops the holiday season, having held the No. 1 spot for four weeks this year alone. The 19.8 million stream count for "Choosin' Texas" this week is the first time fewer than 20 million listens have been logged in a tracking week since Harry Styles' "Aperture" debuted at No. 1 with 18.2 million streams in February.
Currently, "Choosin' Texas" is ranked No. 2 on the multimetric Billboard Hot 100 behind Taylor Swift's "Patient Zero."
