Ella Langley’s country hit “Choosin’ Texas” has achieved an impressive milestone by spending 16 weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s Streaming Songs chart, matching the run of the 2017 hit “Despacito” by Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee, and Justin Bieber. This accomplishment secures the song as the fourth-longest-leading track in the history of the streaming ranking. The single also dominated the Billboard Hot 100 chart for 15 weeks, distinguishing itself as the biggest song in America over a very competitive period.
Since debuting on the Streaming Songs chart in November 2025, “Choosin’ Texas” took a couple of months to reach the top position in January 2026. Over its 40 weeks on the streaming tally, the song’s reign has been split across six separate runs. These interruptions came from major releases by top artists like Bruno Mars, Olivia Rodrigo, Drake, Harry Styles, Bad Bunny, and Taylor Swift, yet Langley consistently reclaimed the No. 1 spot each time, highlighting the track’s strong staying power.
While Langley leads the Streaming Songs chart, the record for the longest cumulative No. 1 reigning song there belongs to Mariah Carey’s holiday staple “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” which has held the top spot for a total of 26 weeks. Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” is poised to reach 17 weeks on the streaming summit in the next chart update, surpassing “Despacito” but still trailing behind other historic runners like Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night,” which spent 19 weeks at No. 1.
In addition to “Choosin’ Texas,” Ella Langley has delivered several other hits on the Streaming Songs chart, with five top 10 entries in her career. Her collaboration with Morgan Wallen, “I Can’t Love You Anymore,” is also climbing various Billboard charts. This steady stream of successful releases signals Langley’s solid presence in the music industry and suggests that her breakout hit is just the beginning of a noteworthy career trajectory.
