Hip-hop powered much of the technology\u2019s early growth, and pop music quickly followed. Country and rock took longer to establish the same kind of popularity on platforms such as Spotify and Apple Music.<\/p>\n<p>Things have changed dramatically in only a few years. Newer country superstars including Morgan Wallen \u2014 and now <a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/hughmcintyre\/2026\/07\/22\/ella-langleys-historic-no-1-outsold-this-weeks-next-two-bestsellers-combined\/\" data-ga-track=\"InternalLink:https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/hughmcintyre\/2026\/07\/22\/ella-langleys-historic-no-1-outsold-this-weeks-next-two-bestsellers-combined\/\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"Ella Langley\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Ella Langley<\/a> \u2014 have become some of the biggest acts on streaming sites in America. \u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas,\u201d the song that transformed Langley from a genre favorite into a crossover superstar less than a year ago, is not only one of country music\u2019s largest digital wins. It now ranks among the longest-running No. 1 hits of any style in the history of Billboard\u2019s all-encompassing streaming roster.<\/p>\n<p>Ella Langley\u2019s Hit Reaches 15 Weeks at No. 1<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=hLOheGDwD_0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=hLOheGDwD_0\" aria-label=\"\u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas\u201d\">\u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas\u201d<\/a> is in control of the <a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/charts\/streaming-songs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/charts\/streaming-songs\/\" aria-label=\"Streaming Songs chart\">Streaming Songs chart<\/a> for a milestone fifteenth week as it keeps exactly where it has appeared for several frames in a row. The ranking orders the most-played tracks of any genre across major streaming platforms in the United States. It is one of several component tallies \u2013 with the Digital Song Sales and Radio Songs rankings \u2013 that help build the Billboard Hot 100 each week.<\/p>\n<p>Langley\u2019s breakout smash is only the fifth tune ever to spend at least 15 frames at the peak. It has now run the show for one-third of the 39 weeks it has racked up on the tally. So far, no other song by the country singer-songwriter has reached No. 1 on the list, though Langley has scored several additional top 10s.<\/p>\n<p>Ella Langley Passes Two Hip-Hop Blockbusters<\/p>\n<p>With another week in first place, \u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas\u201d breaks out of a tie with two enormous hip-hop hits. Last frame, Langley was matched with Desiigner\u2019s \u201cPanda\u201d and \u201cRockstar\u201d by Post Malone and 21 Savage. For a time, all three had accumulated 14 weeks at No. 1. \u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas\u201d now solely claims the fifth-longest reign in Streaming Songs history, while \u201cPanda\u201d and \u201cRockstar\u201d descend together on the all-time ranking, tied for sixth place.<\/p>\n<p>Will \u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas\u201d Tie \u201cDespacito\u201d Next?<\/p>\n<p>Langley may advance again when Billboard publishes its charts again in a few days. One more frame at No. 1 on the Streaming Songs chart will help \u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas\u201d match <a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=72UO0v5ESUo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=72UO0v5ESUo\" aria-label=\"\u201cDespacito\u201d by Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee and Justin Bieber\">\u201cDespacito\u201d by Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee and Justin Bieber<\/a>, which dominated the streaming roster for 16 weeks in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>Ella Langley Could Soon Match Morgan Wallen\u2019s Record<\/p>\n<p>After matching \u201cDespacito,\u201d Langley would need to hold steady on top for nearly another month before reaching the next title on the historic list. Wallen\u2019s \u201cLast Night\u201d spent 19 weeks at No. 1, and it holds the distinction of claiming the longest reign by a country smash on the Streaming Songs tally.<\/p>\n<p>One additional frame beyond that would place Langley on the same level as <a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=r7qovpFAGrQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=r7qovpFAGrQ\" aria-label=\"\u201cOld Town Road\u201d by Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus\">\u201cOld Town Road\u201d by Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus<\/a>, one of only two tracks to reach 20 weeks or more in first place \u2013 and another country cut, though not one that\u2019s as &#8220;traditional&#8221; as \u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas\u201d or \u201cLast Night.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The all-time record sits considerably farther away. Mariah Carey\u2019s \u201cAll I Want for Christmas Is You\u201d has accumulated 26 weeks at No. 1 \u2013 half a year \u2013 though that total has been spread across multiple holiday seasons. Carey\u2019s blockbuster first reached the summit in 2019 and has returned during almost every Christmas season since then, including earlier in 2026. Just as it does on the Billboard Hot 100, \u201cAll I Want for Christmas Is You\u201d typically reclaims the Streaming Songs peak each December and often holds into January.<\/p>\n<p>Ella Langley Rules the Country Streaming Chart Again<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas\u201d has managed an even longer reign on the Country Streaming Songs chart, which narrows its focus to the most-played country tracks in America. Langley has kept her blockbuster track at No. 1 for 28 of the single\u2019s 39 weeks on that tally.<\/p>\n<p>Ella Langley Leads Five Billboard Charts<\/p>\n<p>Langley released \u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas\u201d last fall, and though it initially became a major country hit, it didn\u2019t take long before it grew into a general smash early in 2026. Months after it first reached the masses, the track continues to appear on 11 Billboard rankings and holds at No. 1 on five of them. That roundup includes the Billboard Hot 100, Digital Song Sales and Hot Country Songs charts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas\u201d has also crossed over to pop radio. The single returns to its No. 10 peak on the Adult Contemporary roster, climbs to No. 6 on the Adult Pop Airplay chart and holds at No. 13 on the Pop Airplay ranking after previously reaching No. 11.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"embed-base color-body color-body-border link-embed embed-0 link-embed--long-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/hughmcintyre\/2026\/07\/22\/ella-langleys-historic-no-1-outsold-this-weeks-next-two-bestsellers-combined\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Ella Langley\u2019s Historic No. 1 Outsold This Week\u2019s Next Two Bestsellers Combined\" data-ga-track=\"forbesEmbedly:https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/hughmcintyre\/2026\/07\/22\/ella-langleys-historic-no-1-outsold-this-weeks-next-two-bestsellers-combined\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">ForbesElla Langley\u2019s Historic No. 1 Outsold This Week\u2019s Next Two Bestsellers CombinedBy Hugh McIntyre<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ella Langley&#8217;s &#8220;Choosin Texas&#8221; leads Billboard&#8217;s Streaming Songs chart for a milestone fifteenth week, becoming one of only&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":954184,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[29],"tags":[115623,370250,370251,365692,365694,365695,383957,383956,383955,171,975,383954,67,132,68],"class_list":["post-954183","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-ella-langley","tag-ella-langley-billboard","tag-ella-langley-charts","tag-ella-langley-choosin-texas","tag-ella-langley-choosin-texas-billboard","tag-ella-langley-choosin-texas-charts","tag-ella-langley-choosin-texas-sales","tag-ella-langley-forbes","tag-ella-langley-streaming","tag-entertainment","tag-music","tag-streaming-songs","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116969867699293043","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/954183","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=954183"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/954183\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/954184"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=954183"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=954183"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=954183"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
