Ella Langley just landed in the same sentence as Mariah Carey, and not for anything Christmas-related.
“Choosin’ Texas” spent a 22nd nonconsecutive week atop the Billboard Hot 100 this week, tying Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” for the longest-running No. 1 in the chart’s history, a record book that stretches back to August 1958. It’s an unusual tie: Carey’s 1994 holiday standard built its total gradually, picking up a handful of weeks each December since 2019 as it resurfaces every winter. Langley’s country-pop crossover got there in a single stretch, first topping the chart in February and clawing back to No. 1 even after a brief interruption knocked it down for five weeks over the summer.
Getting to 22 meant passing a stacked list of records along the way. “Choosin’ Texas” already held the mark for most weeks at No. 1 among non-holiday songs by a woman, surpassing Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You” and Carey’s own “We Belong Together” (14 weeks each), then Carey and Boyz II Men’s “One Sweet Day” (16 weeks). At 19 weeks, it tied Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” and Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” for the second-longest reign ever. Now it’s out of that tie entirely and sitting alone at the top of the leaderboard, alongside Carey.
Whether Langley pulls ahead outright is still an open question. Carey’s Christmas song reliably picks up more weeks every December once holiday listening kicks back in, meaning the record could keep moving even as Langley holds steady. For now, though, a country song not built around sleigh bells has fought its way into a category usually reserved for holiday classics.
The milestone landed the same week Langley’s sophomore album, Dandelion, returned to No. 1 on the Billboard 200, a reminder that this isn’t a one-song moment for her.
