Ella Langley's country crossover hit "Choosin' Texas" has spent a 17th consecutive week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, moving it into sole possession of fourth place on the all-time list of longest chart-topping runs. The song has now overtaken a three-way tie of 16-week chart-toppers and needs just three more weeks to match the record set by Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road" and Shaboozey's "A Bar Song (Tipsy)", both of which spent 19 weeks at No. 1, with Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" still the outright record-holder at 22 weeks.

The single's continued dominance comes despite strong competition from Ariana Grande, whose new album "Petal" produced two top-10 entries, including "Hate That I Made You Love Me" climbing back to No. 2. Country music otherwise retains a strong grip on the chart, with Morgan Wallen's "Been by Now" at No. 3, Taylor Swift's "I Knew It, I Knew You" at No. 5, and Stella Lefty's "Boston" at No. 6. Analysts also note "Choosin' Texas" has just entered the top 10 of Billboard's pop airplay chart for the first time, with overall radio play up 4% for the week, suggesting the song's record-breaking run may not be over yet.
