For four consecutive weeks \u2013 including this frame \u2013 Ella Langley\u2019s<\/a> \u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas\u201d has controlled the Billboard Hot 100. The breakout smash has now accumulated 14 stays at No. 1, though those turns in the spotlight have been spread across six separate reigns since it first reached the summit in February. A succession of high-profile debuts by acts including BTS, Olivia Rodrigo, Drake, Ariana Grande and Taylor Swift repeatedly interrupted Langley\u2019s time in charge, but none of them stopped the biggest song of 2026 for long. <\/p>\n \u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas\u201d has nevertheless returned to the peak position over and over, and its latest victory moves it higher on the list of the longest-running No. 1 hits in Billboard Hot 100 history.<\/p>\n Ella Langley Reaches 14 Weeks at No. 1<\/p>\n \u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas\u201d<\/a> earns its fourteenth week atop the Billboard Hot 100<\/a>, the ranking that combines streaming activity, radio airplay and sales to determine the most popular songs in the United States. Langley\u2019s hit has ruled for 14 of the 39 frames it has spent on the tally. <\/p>\n Ella Langley Ties Seven Legendary Hits<\/p>\n With 14 weeks at No. 1, \u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas\u201d ties as the eighth-longest-running champion in the history of the Billboard Hot 100, which dates back into the late 1950s. Langley now shares that position with seven other hits that ended their reigns after exactly the length of time.<\/p>\n The roundup includes Whitney Houston\u2019s \u201cI Will Always Love You,\u201d Boyz II Men\u2019s \u201cI\u2019ll Make Love to You,\u201d Los del R\u00edo\u2019s \u201cMacarena (Bayside Boys Mix),\u201d Elton John\u2019s double single \u201cCandle in the Wind 1997\u201d\/\u201cSomething About the Way You Look Tonight,\u201d Mariah Carey\u2019s \u201cWe Belong Together,\u201d the Black Eyed Peas\u2019 \u201cI Gotta Feeling\u201d and Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars\u2019s \u201cUptown Funk.\u201d<\/p>\n Ella Langley Could Match Harry Styles Next<\/p>\n \u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas\u201d looks likely to remain at No. 1 for at least one more frame, if not several. Should the track continue running the show, in a matter of days Langley will match Harry Styles\u2019s \u201cAs It Was,\u201d<\/a> which spent 15 weeks at the summit in 2022.<\/p>\n Another two weeks would lift \u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas\u201d into the exclusive 16-week club. Morgan Wallen\u2019s \u201cLast Night,\u201d Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee and Justin Bieber\u2019s \u201cDespacito,\u201d and Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men\u2019s \u201cOne Sweet Day\u201d are all members.<\/p>\n Moving up into the next tier will require another full month in charge as of this period. Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus\u2019s \u201cOld Town Road\u201d and Shaboozey\u2019s \u201cA Bar Song (Tipsy)\u201d both accumulated 19 weeks at No. 1. For a time, they jointly claimed the honor of being the longest-running rulers ever, though a holiday staple passed both of them not long ago.<\/p>\n Ella Langley Still Trails Mariah Carey\u2019s Record<\/p>\n
