Ella Langley's 'Choosin' Texas' held the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 dated Sept. 19, 2026, marking its 22nd total week atop the chart and tying the all-time record for the longest-running No. 1 single in Hot 100 history, according to Billboard. The song has spent 11 consecutive weeks at the top since the Fourth of July and was also named Billboard's Song of the Summer for 2026.
The track's continued dominance reflects streaming and radio airplay numbers that outpaced any challengers released over the summer and into September, with no new single generating enough combined chart points to unseat it. Fox News reported the milestone placed Langley among a small group of artists to hold the Hot 100 summit for 20 or more weeks, extending a breakout year for country music on the chart.
