Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” Breaks Record for Most Weeks at No. 1

Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” has spent its 23rd total week atop the Billboard Hot 100, breaking the all-time record held by Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” The country hit is now the longest-running No.

1 single in U. S. chart history. For 23 years, Carey’s own “One Sweet Day,” a duet with Boyz II Men from her 1995 album Daydream, held the title she briefly shared with Langley, with 16 weeks spent at No.

1. Daddy Yankee and Luis Fonsi’s “Despacito” remix, featuring Justin Bieber, tied the record in 2017, and Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” finally surpassed it the following year, picking up 19 weeks at the top of the charts.

1 until, last year, Carey finally snatched back her crown. Langley released “Choosin’ Texas” in October 2025, as the lead single from her third studio album, Dandelion.

The song entered the Billboard charts the following month, and first hit its peak position back in February. Dandelion was also the No. 1 album in the country for two weeks in April, and has reclaimed that status as of last week.
