Ten Chart Records Ella Langley Has Broken or Set
Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” and her album Dandelion have produced a series of notable Billboard chart records, underlining her rapid rise in country and pop music. The song is tied with hits by Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston for a major Hot 100 milestone, and could soon surpass them.
– “Choosin’ Texas” is tied for the most Hot 100 weeks at No. 1 by a woman without male-billed acts, excluding holiday songs. – It became the longest-running Hot 100 No. 1 country title by a woman, overtaking Debby Boone’s “You Light Up My Life”. – Langley and Megan Moroney were the first women chiefly known as country artists to lead the Hot 100 and Billboard 200 simultaneously. – Langley has spent 20 weeks at No. 1 on Country Songwriters, surpassing Taylor Swift’s previous record. – As a songwriter, she is tied with Dolly Parton and Miranda Lambert for the longest Hot 100 No. 1 by a country artist-songwriter. – Women occupied the top five of Hot Country Songs for a record six consecutive weeks, with Langley holding three positions.
In short
- Langley’s hit is approaching a historic Hot 100 record.
- It is country music’s longest female-led Hot 100 chart-topper.
- Her success spans songwriting, singles and album charts.
