## Key points

- "Choosin' Texas" ties record for longest No. 1 run by an all-female act
- 14 weeks atop Hot 100, level with Carey and Houston classics
- Stella Lefty and Olivia Dean also notch chart milestones this week

## Summary

Ella Langley's country hit "Choosin' Texas" completed a 14-week run at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, matching Mariah Carey's "We Belong Together" and Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" for the longest reign among non-holiday songs credited solely to women. Including Carey's Christmas perennial "All I Want for Christmas Is You," Langley's track shares the second-longest command of the summit by any all-female billing, cementing its status as one of the most durable crossover country hits since first topping the chart in February.

Released on SAWGOD/Columbia with Triple Tigers handling country radio promotion, the single logged 24 million official US streams, 51 million radio airplay impressions and 7,000 sales in the week to 16 July, keeping it at No. 1 on Streaming Songs (15th week) and Digital Song Sales (13th week), and at No. 1 on Hot Country Songs for a 32nd week. Its Hot 100 tally puts it level with Dolly Parton-written "I Will Always Love You," while elsewhere on the chart Stella Lefty earned her first Hot 100 top 10 with "Boston" and Olivia Dean's "So Easy (To Fall in Love)" became the biggest song on US radio.
