Ella Langley has officially shattered a long-standing record held by Taylor Swift. Her unstoppable smash “Choosin’ Texas” has spent four (and counting) weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 — the most ever for a song by a female artist that also topped the Hot Country Songs chart. Swift previously held the mark with three weeks for “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” in 2012. Langley’s hit has now claimed sole ownership of this historic feat while dominating multiple charts simultaneously.
As of April 2026, “Choosin’ Texas” has logged seventh nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100 and over 20 weeks atop Hot Country Songs, making it one of the biggest country crossovers in recent memory. It also made her the first woman to simultaneously lead the Hot 100, Hot Country Songs, and Country Airplay charts.
Why “Choosin’ Texas” Is a Phenomenon
The upbeat, bittersweet anthem captures the sting of watching an ex choose someone else — in this case, a girl from the Lone Star State. With infectious hooks, twangy guitars, and Langley’s signature heartfelt delivery, it exploded on TikTok, radio, and streaming. The track has become a 2026 cultural moment, blending classic country storytelling with modern pop-country appeal.
Full Dandelion Album Breakdown (2026)
Released April 10, 2026, Dandelion debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, making Langley just the second woman (after Taylor Swift) to simultaneously top the Hot 100 and Billboard 200 with country titles using all-original music. Critics are calling it a “lived-in, self-assured” evolution — blending 70s soft country rock, dreamy production, and raw emotion. Miranda Lambert co-wrote and produced several tracks, adding star power.

- Loving Life Again — Uplifting comeback anthem.
- Low Lights — Aching, atmospheric ballad.
- Last Call For Us — Tender, closing-time resignation.
- Broken — Fan-favorite emotional highlight.
- Speaking Terms — Intimate singer-songwriter moment.
