With the devastating passing of country music legend Dolly Parton, it was expected her hits, such as 'Jolene,' would soar the charts this week - and with Parton reclaiming familiar territory on lists such as Apple Music's Top Songs, it comes with a point nobody was sure they could make quite yet: Ella Langley can be beat.

Ella Langley's reign on major all-genre charts such as Apple Music Top Songs, and her historic run on the Billboard Hot 100, with nearly 20 weeks at No. 1, are a testament to her smashing hit 'Choosin Texas' and its ability to be played back again, again, and again. Furthermore, every day the song sits on its glorious global throne, it's another day Langley proves that even on charts that update daily, with hits spiking up and leveling down around the clock, her song holds a precious factor most artists spend their careers chasing: the true essence of a global No. 1 hit.

Part of the excitement that surrounds Langley is her ability to move mountains in her field, accomplishing things most women in country music, unfortunately, hardly scrape the surface of. This being said, aside from the obvious, Dolly and Ella share something head-turning in common, as both walk the paths of their careers wearing boots almost inconceivable to fill.

Even after her death, Dolly was the kind of artist and force of nature that has left more than enough behind for her path to continue being trekked. In reverence of a legend, fans around the world have pushed her songs back to the top spots of the Apple Music Top Songs chart.

On Aug. 26, Langley's 'Choosin Texas' saw a number other than no. 1 for the first time in months - the song that took its place being Parton's legendary 'Jolene.' The hit that feels like it has touched every inch of the earth, quickly became a No. 1 song on long-standing charts such as the Billboard Hot 100 after its release in 1974. As for Apple Music Top Songs, the chart that is less than twelve years old saw the song catapult to the top in a space that rarely sees classics.

Along with 'Jolene,' Parton currently holds three other spots on the chart. The iconic '9 to 5' stands at No. 2, the prominent 'Islands In the Stream' with Kenny Rogers at No. 4, the classic 'I Will Always Love You' at No. 5, and the sensational 'Coat of Many Colors' at No. 8. Ten spots that compete with all genres - and five of them belong to Dolly.

The 'Jolene' and '9 to 5' takeover puts Langley's 'Choosin Texas' at No. 3. In today's musical landscape, the probability of grieving fans around the world ending Langley's current reign completely is unlikely, but the impact Dolly has left on the world is strong enough to put even the 'Dandelion' crooner's chart success to even just a temporary halt - and, if it had to be done, who better than a legend whose spirit, through her music and impact, will undoubtedly live on?
