Ella Langley’s extraordinary chart reign is still expanding, with “Choosin’ Texas” extending its record at the top of the Billboard Hot 100. Billboard reported Monday that the song has now spent a staggering 27th week in the number one position, as reported by Fox News.

The latest milestone gives Langley another major achievement in a year defined by enormous momentum. The country singer has dominated charts, drawn heavy attention across social media and sold out venues around the country, according to the source.

Released in October 2025, “Choosin’ Texas” became the most popular song in America and has refused to surrender its grip. Its run has now moved well beyond the benchmark that first placed Langley alone in the Billboard record book.

The track previously broke the record when it reached 23 weeks in the Hot 100’s number one spot. Before claiming the mark outright, “Choosin’ Texas” tied Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” when both songs stood at 22 weeks.

With additional weeks now added beyond that record-breaking point, Langley is not merely protecting a narrow lead. She is continuing to widen the distance between her hit and the former benchmark, giving the song’s extraordinary run an even larger place in chart history.

The achievement is the centerpiece of a broader surge around the singer, who is 27. Over the past year, the source has described Langley as the face of country music and one of the genre’s fastest-rising stars amid the relentless popularity of “Choosin’ Texas.”

Langley also discussed releasing a series of singles and building momentum toward her sophomore album during coverage connected to the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards. That event was held March 26, 2026, at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.

Her recent public appearances have unfolded alongside the song’s lengthy reign. Langley performed at the Omni Nashville Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee, on March 20, 2026, and later appeared onstage at Billboard Women in Music 2026.

Billboard Women in Music was held at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles, California, on April 29, 2026. Those appearances arrived during the same period in which “Choosin’ Texas” kept piling up weeks at number one and strengthening Langley’s profile.

The chart news is not the only recent development surrounding Langley. She wrapped her latest tour over Halloween weekend, then drew major online attention with a costume that went mega viral, adding another burst of social media visibility to her already busy stretch.

A referenced headline said Langley’s “Toy Story” Halloween costume received nearly 500,000 likes on Instagram. The reaction provided another example of the attention surrounding the singer outside the Billboard rankings, even as her defining hit continued its record-setting stay at the summit.

New music is also imminent. Langley, identified in the source as the “Nicotine” singer, is preparing to release “Here Then We’re Gone,” a song recorded for the new “Hunger Games” film and scheduled to reach streaming platforms Friday morning.

The coming release keeps her music in motion while “Choosin’ Texas” remains fixed at the top of America’s biggest songs. It also follows the completion of her tour, placing another song before listeners during a period of sustained chart and social media attention.

At 27 weeks, “Choosin’ Texas” has advanced beyond the 23-week point where it first broke the record. That breakthrough followed its tie at 22 weeks with Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You.”

For Langley, the record arrives amid sold-out venues, viral attention, a completed tour and another song approaching release. Her momentum continues without any sign that “Choosin’ Texas” is ready to loosen its command of the chart.
