Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” is now the longest-running No. 1 in Billboard Hot 100 history. On the chart dated this week, the country smash logged a 23rd week at No. 1, passing Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” (22 weeks).
That record is already showing up in ticket demand. Langley is still on The Dandelion Tour, with remaining 2026 dates through Oct. 31 in Saint Paul. If you want to hear the song that just rewrote the chart books live, compare primary and resale prices before the next weekend of shows.

Why this record matters for tickets
“Choosin’ Texas” first hit No. 1 in February 2026 and has bounced in and out of the top spot all year. Billboard confirmed the 23-week total on Sept. 22, 2026, making it the longest run since the Hot 100 began in 1958.
The song is the lead single from Dandelion (released April 2026), co-written with Miranda Lambert, Luke Dick, and Joybeth Taylor. Official tour and album details live on Ella Langley’s site.
Chart history plus a still-active arena run usually means:
- sold-out or thin primary inventory
- higher resale on Red Rocks and L.A. Greek
- better last-minute deals in midweek Midwest markets

Where to buy — and where “cheap” actually shows up
Primary (start here)
- Ticketmaster – Ella Langley
- Official links from ellalangley.com
Verified resale (compare all-in prices)
Recent public listings have shown a wide spread: get-in around the low $100s on some Midwest arena nights, with Red Rocks and Greek Theatre often several hundred dollars higher. Those figures move daily. Always filter by all-in price, mobile transfer, and section.
How to keep the price down after a chart record
- Check primary first. Face-value inventory still appears on some midweek dates.
- Compare the same section across StubHub, Vivid Seats, and Capital City Tickets. Fees differ.
- Avoid screenshot tickets. Most 2026 arenas are mobile-only; screenshots often fail at the gate.
- Use official transfer (Ticketmaster / AXS) when possible. Fan-to-fan resale is safer than random social DMs.
- Watch dynamic pricing. Record news can lift demand overnight on remaining Texas, Colorado, and L.A. stops.
- Skip “too good to be true” listings far below the market. If a floor seat is $40 the night after a Billboard record, treat it as a red flag.
Quick venue notes for remaining stops
- Red Rocks (Oct. 7): Outdoor amphitheater. Weather, steep stairs, and limited last-minute parking. Tickets here are typically the most expensive remaining date.
- Greek Theatre, L.A. (Oct. 13–14): Two nights. Historic outdoor venue; transfer and bag policies are strict.
- Food City Center / Schottenstein / Grand Casino Arena: Standard arena entry — digital tickets, clear-bag rules, and earlier doors on weeknights.
Always read the venue’s current bag, parking, and mobile-ticket policy on the venue site before you leave.
FAQ
Did Ella Langley really pass Mariah Carey?
Yes. Billboard reported “Choosin’ Texas” at 23 weeks at No. 1, ahead of Carey’s 22 weeks with “All I Want for Christmas Is You.”
Is the Dandelion Tour sold out?
Many earlier dates sold out. Remaining October shows still have inventory on primary or verified resale, especially midweek arenas. Red Rocks and the Greek are tighter.
What’s the cheapest way to go?
Compare Ticketmaster face value against all-in resale on the same section. Upper-bowl seats in Columbus, Moline, Des Moines, and Lincoln have recently been the most realistic “cheap ticket” targets.
Will prices jump again because of the record?
They can. Chart milestones often spike searches the same week. If you already know your city, buy sooner rather than waiting for another headline.
Bottom line
“Choosin’ Texas” just became the longest No. 1 in Hot 100 history. The tour that built that moment is not over. Start at Ticketmaster and ellalangley.com, then price-check StubHub, Vivid Seats, and Capital City Tickets before you lock a seat.
