The question now is: when will Ella Langley‘s “Choosin’ Texas” lose chart momentum? The biggest country and pop hit of 2026 just keeps on reaching new heights. The single has now notched its 14th non-consecutive week at the top of the Billboard Hot 100, and in doing so finds herself in a three-way tie with legends Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey. The song ties Carey’s “We Belong Together” and Houston’s “I Will Always Love You” for the most weeks at #1, apart from holiday singles by female performers with no male-billed acts. That record belongs to Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas is You,” which has scored 22 weeks at #1, albeit spread seasonally over seven years.
