THE RUNDOWN

Ella Langley's "Choosin' Texas" spent its third week at No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100.
The achievement ties a 2012 record set by Taylor Swift.
Both artists reached No. 1 on the Hot 100 and Hot Country Songs charts.
Langley previously led three major Billboard charts simultaneously in February 2026.
She is the first female artist to achieve that triple-chart lead.

Ella Langley is officially in the history books. Her hit single "Choosin' Texas" just secured its third non-consecutive week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, placing her in elite company. By reaching this total, she has officially tied a record held by Taylor Swift for the most weeks at No. 1 by a female artist with a song that also reached the summit of the Hot Country Songs chart.

The milestone mirrors Swift’s 2012 success with "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together," which previously held the solo crown for this specific crossover feat. Langley’s chart dominance isn't just a fluke; it's the culmination of a massive year for the rising star. This latest achievement solidifies her status as a powerhouse capable of uniting both country and pop audiences.

This isn't the first time Langley has made history recently. In early February 2026, she became the first female artist to simultaneously lead the Hot 100, Hot Country Songs, and Country Airplay charts with the same track. According to reports from Whiskey Riff and Country Now, her continued presence at the top of the charts signals a major shift in the music industry's landscape.
