Country Star Reacts to No. 1 Hit Song Lasting 12 Weeks
Country music star Ella Langley is celebrating another major career milestone after her hit single "Choosin' Texas" remained at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for a 12th consecutive week.
Langley acknowledged the achievement by sharing Billboard's latest chart on social media. She kept her reaction simple, captioning the post, "12 weeks?!" followed by a mind-blown emoji.
The latest chart update places "Choosin' Texas" among one of the most successful songs in Billboard Hot 100 history. First reaching No. 1 in February, the single has now spent 12 weeks atop the all-genre chart, joining only 25 songs that have ruled for at least a dozen weeks since the chart began in August 1958.
The accomplishment also puts Langley in rare company. According to Billboard, "Choosin' Texas" is one of only five No. 1 songs by women without male-billed collaborators to spend at least 12 weeks atop the Hot 100. It is also the only song by an artist primarily known for recording country music to reach that milestone.

Billboard reported that "Choosin' Texas" collected 25.8 million official U.S. streams, 49.7 million radio audience impressions, and 9,000 sales during the June 26-July 2 tracking week.
Beyond leading the Hot 100, the single continues its dominance across multiple Billboard charts.
The song earned a 13th week at No. 1 on the Streaming Songs chart while remaining No. 1 on Digital Song Sales for an 11th week. It also stayed inside the top tier of the Radio Songs chart at No. 6 after previously peaking at No. 4.
Its success extends even further on the Hot Country Songs chart, where "Choosin' Texas" has now spent 30 weeks at No. 1, becoming only the fourth song to lead that chart for at least 30 weeks.
The continued chart success adds to a remarkable year for Langley.
Langley has also expanded her presence on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart. Her newest single, "Be Her," recently debuted at No. 24, giving her two songs on the ranking at the same time while "Choosin' Texas" remains on the chart after spending 19 weeks there.
Last month, Langley swept all seven categories in which she was nominated at the Academy of Country Music Awards. Her victories included Female Artist of the Year, Female Vocalist of the Year, Artist-Songwriter of the Year, Single of the Year and Song of the Year for "Choosin' Texas."
Langley's success has also fueled demand for her live performances. She recently announced a 21-date extension of The Dandelion Tour, which includes several arena shows across the United States after multiple dates on the original run sold out.
As "Choosin' Texas" continues its historic run atop the Billboard Hot 100, Langley's brief but excited reaction reflects another unforgettable milestone in what has become the biggest year of her career so far.
