Ella Langley's ’Choosin’ Texas’ has officially become the longest-running No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, with the Lone Star State-inspired hit spending a 23rd week in the top spot.

It surpasses Mariah Carey's ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’, which has spent 22 weeks at No. 1. What makes Langley's reign all the more impressive is the fact that, looking at her current points tally, ’Choosin’ Texas’ could stay at No. 1 for many weeks to come.

The immense mainstream success of ’Choosin‘ Texas’ serves as a colossal moment not only for the ‘you look like you love me’ hitmaker, but also for country music as a whole.

Two other country singles follow at No. 2 and No. 3 on this week's chart, dated September 26th, with Stella Lefty's ‘Boston’ and Morgan Wallen's ‘Been By Now’ slotting into second and third respectively. The Top Five is completed by Ariana Grande's ‘Hate That I Made You Love Me’ (No. 4) and Tame Impala and Jennie's ‘Dracula’ (No. 5).

‘Choosin‘ Texas’ is expected to remain at No. 1 next week, and it'll be fascinating to see how many Langley's earworm single can notch before the festive season begins.

Elsewhere in the Top Ten, Langley's ’Be Her’ settles at No. 10, with the Alabama native continuing to cement herself as one of modern country music's biggest stars.

With a Drake and Don Toliver remix of ’Choosin‘ Texas’ seemingly on the way and Langley continuing her popular Dandelion Tour, the momentum is showing no signs of slowing.
