Ella Langley‘s “Choosin’ Texas” has hit it’s 11th week on top of the Billboard Hot 10o chart.

With this placement, the tune has become the longest-running No. 1 by a woman with a country hit on the Hot 100. (“Country hit” is defined as a song that has appeared on Billboard‘s Hot Country Songs chart, according to Billboard). It breaks the tie with Debby Boone’s “You Light Up My Life,” which spent 10 weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100 and reached No. 4 on Hot Country Songs in 1977.

This marks “Choosin’ Texas” sixth separate stay at No. 1, after previously leading on the charts dated Feb. 14; March 7 and 21-28; April 11-25 and May 9-23. That’s the most separate No. 1 runs for a song during a single release cycle, breaking the record of five set by Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night” (2023) and Harry Styles’ “As It Was” (2022). Overall, Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” holds the record with eight returns to No. 1 between 2019 and 2025.

The song also marked its 29th week at No. 1 on the Hot Country Songs chart this week.
