No song has ever spent as long at number 1 in the US as Ella Langley's Texas Hold 'Em

Country singer Ella Langley has achieved a historic milestone by securing the record for the most cumulative weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 with her song Choosin' Texas. Previously held by Mariah Carey for her holiday classic All I Want for Christmas Is You, the record was reached after Langley spent a total of 23 weeks at the top of the charts since February 2025. Although she did not maintain an unbroken streak, her song has held the lead position continuously since late June. The achievement highlights a broader resurgence of country music on the mainstream charts, with other country artists currently occupying the top spots. Expressing her gratitude on social media, the 27-year-old singer noted that the success has profoundly impacted her life and career. While Langley has now surpassed the cumulative total, she faces a potential challenge later this year as Carey typically returns to the top of the charts during the Christmas season.
