AceShowbiz - Ella Langley continues to dominate the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, holding the coveted Nos. 1 and 2 spots for a second consecutive week. Her tracks "Choosin' Texas" and "Be Her" maintain their positions at the summit dated March 21, marking a historic achievement in country music.
Ella Langley is now the first woman ever to control the top two rankings on the Hot Country Songs chart for multiple weeks. This surpasses the previous one-week accomplishments by Beyoncé and Taylor Swift, who each held the top two positions only once.
"Choosin' Texas" remains at No. 1 for its 16th week, accumulating 22.7 million official U.S. streams, an audience of 44.7 million via radio airplay, and 6,000 sales during the tracking week of March 6-12, according to Luminate data. Meanwhile, "Be Her" reaches its peak at No. 2 with 12 million streams, 4 million in radio audience, and 2,000 copies sold in the same period.
Ella Langley first achieved this rare chart dominance the previous week, becoming only the third woman in history to hold the top two Hot Country Songs positions simultaneously. Beyoncé accomplished the feat in April 2024 with her songs "Texas Hold 'Em" and "II Most Wanted," featuring Miley Cyrus. Taylor Swift did so back in October 2012 during the release of her album Red, when "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" and the title track occupied the top two spots.
Holding Nos. 1 and 2 on the Hot Country Songs chart for multiple weeks is a rare feat and has only been achieved by a handful of artists across different chart eras. Morgan Wallen set a modern record with a 25-week streak in 2023, in a streaming-dominated music landscape. He has held the top two positions for a total of 37 weeks since 2022, far exceeding previous runs like Dan + Shay’s eight-week stretch in 2018-19 and Luke Bryan’s six-week run in 2014.
In earlier decades, securing the top two spots for even two consecutive weeks was uncommon. Only Willie Nelson in 1982 and Buck Owens in 1964 managed to do so. This historical context highlights how remarkable Ella Langley’s current multi-week hold on the top two Hot Country Songs positions is—not only as the longest for a woman but also as an impressive accomplishment in today’s competitive, multi-metric chart environment.
