Ella Langley Helps the Billboard Hot 100 Make History With First-Ever All-Country Top 5
Ella Langley's breakout single 'Choosin' Texas' has achieved a major commercial milestone, spending 16 non-consecutive weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart, equalling the record previously held by Morgan Wallen's 'Last Night.' The chart dominance reflects a broader trend: for the first time in the chart's nearly 70-year history, the top five positions were simultaneously occupied by country music songs exclusively, with Langley appearing twice in the rankings.
The sustained success of 'Choosin' Texas' positions Langley among the most successful artists in recent chart history, though she still trails several all-time records. Songs by Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus, and separately by Shaboozey, each held the No. 1 spot for 19 weeks, while Mariah Carey's 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' remains the all-time leader with 22 weeks at the top. Music industry analysts suggest that with continued momentum, Langley could potentially challenge these long-standing records in the coming weeks.
