Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” has topped 20 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 — making it the longest run ever at the top of the chart for a non-holiday song.

The song passed Shaboozey’s 2024 hit “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” and “Old Town Road,” by Lil Nas X feat. Billy Ray Cyrus, with which it was tied for a 19-week run — and if it holds on for three more weeks, it will pass Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” which holds the record with 22 weeks over the past seven years.
