## Key points

- Ella Langley's "Choosin' Texas" hits 17 weeks at Number One, breaking Wallen's record
- Only three songs in Hot 100 history have topped it for longer
- Langley and Wallen's duet also reached Number One on Country Airplay

## Summary

Country star Ella Langley's single "Choosin' Texas" has set a new record on the Billboard Hot 100, spending 17 weeks at Number One and surpassing Morgan Wallen's previous 16-week run with "Last Night" in 2023. Wallen, whom Langley is currently supporting on select dates of his Still the Problem tour, remains a close collaborator rather than a rival, and the milestone underlines the continuing dominance of country music on the US charts.

Only three songs have topped the Hot 100 for longer than "Choosin' Texas": Shaboozey's "A Bar Song (Tipsy)", Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road" and Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You". Langley and Wallen's duet "I Can't Love You Anymore" has also reached Number One on Country Airplay, Wallen's 22nd country hit single, though he was pushed from second to third place on the Hot 100 this week by Ariana Grande. Last week country acts held all of the Hot 100's top five positions, and Langley, whose fanbase includes a group of male fans dubbed "Ella's Fellas", continues her Dandelion tour with a stop in Austin, Texas, on 13 August.
