Her reign at the top continues.
This week, Ella Langley is back on top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart with her smash hit “Choosin’ Texas,” following the release of her highly-anticipated sophomore studio album Dandelion, which she put out on Friday.
She’s been on a generational run, as the song first topped the all-genre chart on February 9th, when it first hit #1 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 chart, and she became the first woman ever to triple up and score #1s on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs, Country Airplay and Hot 100 chart simultaneously.
In case you were wondering just how rare the feat was, Langley became just the seventh female artist in history to go #1 on the Hot 100 with a country song. Making even more history back on March 2nd, the “weren’t for the wind” singer would team up with Megan Moroney to become the only female country duo in history to top both the Billboard Hot 100 and 200 charts simultaneously, a feat that legends such as Dolly Parton, Reba McEntire, Shania Twain, Carrie Underwood, Miranda Lambert and many more all-time greats in the genre have never done. This was thanks to “Choosin’ Texas” spending its second week at #1 on the Hot 100 and Moroney’s junior album, Cloud 9, debuting at #1 on the all-genre Billboard 200 albums chart.
Though it was briefly dethroned by Bruno Mars’ “I Just Might” in mid-March, “Choosin’ Texas” would rebound back to #1 for two straight weeks to end the month. Spending its fourth week at the top of the Hot 100, Langley would cement herself in country music history. After tying Taylor Swift and her 2012 hit, “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” Langley and “Choosin’ Texas” would pass it on March 23rd to become the longest-running #1 hit on Hot 100 by a female country singer in history.
And as of today, “Choosin’ Texas” is once again at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart this week, which extends her record as the longest-running country #1 single by a woman in Hot 100 history, totaling six weeks now:
Ella is such a talented artist, and she’s already off to a HOT start with Dandelion, which broke the record for biggest female album debut on Spotify this year as she racked up 17.2 MILLION streams the day it was released:

She’s just unstoppable right now, her new album is fantastic, and if you haven’t seen the star-studded music video for “Choosin’ Texas” yet, it stars Luke Grimes, AKA Kayce Dutton, so needless to say, you’re missing out…
