Country Woman’s Traditional Song Tops All-Genre Chart for 4 Weeks

Ella Langley has reached a historic milestone with her song “Choosin’ Texas.” The country woman’s traditional song tops all-genre chart for four weeks.

Historic context

No female country artist had previously held the overall No.1 slot for four weeks. Taylor Swift reached three weeks at No.1 with “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” in 2012.

Only three other songs by country women previously reached the Hot 100 summit for two weeks. Those include Dolly Parton’s “9 to 5” in 1981 and “Islands in the Stream” with Kenny Rogers in 1983, plus Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold ‘Em.”

Current chart performance

“Choosin’ Texas” is in its 17th week at No.1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. The single also spends its fourth week at No.1 on the Streaming Songs chart.

The song sits at No.2 on the Digital Song Sales chart and No.9 on the all-genre Radio Songs chart. This week it logged 21.8 million streams, down 4 percent, while radio audience slipped about 3 percent.

Song credits and releases

Ella Langley co-wrote and co-produced the track with Miranda Lambert. Luke Dick and Joybeth Taylor share additional songwriting credits.

The single was released in October 2025. Langley’s new album, Dandelion, is set for release on April 10th.

Style and significance

The song leans traditional, featuring prominent steel guitar and two-step imagery. It crossed over into pop audiences while remaining rooted in country sound.

The achievement is notable because Langley did not rely on a male duet partner or a hip-hop remix to reach this level. The result positions her as a crossover star with strong country credentials.

Filmogaz.com named the track its 2025 Single of the Year. The single still looks poised to be one of the year’s biggest songs.
