Ella Langley is literally doing things few have done before, and is a step closer to doing things no one has ever done. In the latest Billboard Hot 100 chart, “Choosin’ Texas” sits at #1. Again. What makes this week special is that it marks 19 non-consecutive weeks at the top of the all-genre chart, something only three other acts have ever done before. As it stands, Ella’s song is tied with “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” and “Old Town Road” at 19 weeks on top, trailing only the seasonal “All I Want For Christmas Is You,” which has garnered 22 weeks at #1 over the course of six Christmas seasons. If “Choosin’ Texas” pulls off just one more week at the top of the chart, that makes the song the longest running (non-seasonal) #1 song…ever. The latest tier list in pop history:
- 22 weeks, “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” Mariah Carey, 2019-26
