- April 14, 2026
AceShowbiz - Ella Langley continues to make waves on the Billboard charts as her hit "Choosin' Texas" holds strong at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for a sixth consecutive week. The song first reached the top spot in mid-February, marking a significant milestone in Langley’s career as her first chart leader.
Alongside this success, Langley also breaks into the Hot 100 top 10 with her second single, "Be Her," which climbs four spots to reach No. 8. Both tracks are featured on her sophomore album, Dandelion, which was released on April 10.
On the Hot Country Songs chart, Langley achieves another impressive milestone. "Choosin' Texas" remains at No. 1 for a remarkable 20th week, while "Be Her" maintains its No. 2 peak position. This remarkable chart performance makes Langley only the second woman ever to have two songs simultaneously in the top 10 of both the Hot 100 and Hot Country Songs charts. The first to achieve this was Taylor Swift, who accomplished the feat with "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" and "Red" for one week in October 2012.
Additionally, Langley and Olivia Dean are making history as women simultaneously appearing in the Hot 100 top 10. This notable achievement highlights the growing prominence of female artists in the current music landscape.
