A country anthem just shook the entire music industry.
And in the process, Ella Langley has tied one of Taylor Swift’s most iconic records.

Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” Dominates Billboard Hot 100, Ties Taylor Swift Record

Country music just witnessed a historic moment.

Rising star Ella Langley has officially taken over the Billboard charts as her breakout hit “Choosin’ Texas” climbs back to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for a third week.

The chart-topping single first reached the summit in February and has continued to dominate across streaming, radio, and digital sales ever since.

But the biggest headline isn’t just the No. 1 spot.

With its third week atop the Hot 100, “Choosin’ Texas” now ties Taylor Swift’s record for the most weeks at No. 1 by a song from a female artist that also topped Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart.

Swift previously set that mark in 2012 with “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.”

Now, more than a decade later, Langley has matched the achievement—placing her name beside one of the biggest stars in music history.

A Rare Milestone for Women in Country Music

Female country artists rarely dominate the all-genre Billboard Hot 100, making Langley’s accomplishment even more remarkable.

Only a handful of songs by women in the country genre have ever reached No. 1 on the Hot 100.

Before Langley and Swift, just three others managed multi-week reigns at the top:

Beyoncé – “Texas Hold ’Em” (2024) – two weeks
Dolly Parton – “Islands in the Stream” with Kenny Rogers (1983) – two weeks
Dolly Parton – “9 to 5” (1981) – two weeks

By reaching three weeks at No. 1, Langley now sits tied at the top of that elite list.

“Choosin’ Texas” Continues Its Massive Run

The song’s success goes beyond the Hot 100.

“Choosin’ Texas” has also dominated the Hot Country Songs chart, where it has now spent 16 weeks at No. 1.

During the latest tracking week in the United States, the track generated:

22.7 million official streams
44.7 million radio audience impressions
6,000 digital sales

It currently ranks:

No. 2 on Streaming Songs
No. 9 on Radio Songs
No. 1 on Digital Song Sales (fifth week)

That combination of streaming, radio play, and sales has kept the track firmly at the center of the music conversation.

Harry Styles Storms the Chart With New Album

While Langley remains on top, Harry Styles is also making major waves on the charts.

His new single “American Girls” debuts at No. 4 on the Hot 100, marking his ninth career top-10 hit.

Meanwhile, his previous No. 1 hit “Aperture” surges back into the top 10, jumping from No. 29 to No. 9.

Both songs come from his new album “Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally.”, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, becoming the singer’s fourth chart-topping album.

Other Major Moves in the Hot 100

The rest of the chart also saw several notable shifts.

Olivia Dean – “Man I Need” rises to No. 2, matching its previous peak.
Bruno Mars – “I Just Might” slips to No. 3 after earlier leading the chart.
Alex Warren – “Ordinary” holds steady at No. 5.
PinkPantheress & Zara Larsson – “Stateside” climbs to a new high at No. 6.
HUNTR/X – “Golden” moves up to No. 7.
Taylor Swift – “The Fate of Ophelia” rises to No. 8.
Swift’s “Opalite” falls to No. 10 after previously topping the chart.

Even with the competition heating up, Langley’s song continues to hold strong at the very top.

A Breakout Moment That Changes Langley’s Career

For Ella Langley, the success of “Choosin’ Texas” marks a defining moment.

The track’s dominance across multiple charts shows that country music can still cross genres and capture massive mainstream audiences.

And by tying a record previously held by Taylor Swift, Langley has officially secured her place in modern country music history.

With momentum still building, the big question now is simple:

How long can “Choosin’ Texas” stay at No. 1?
