Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” becomes the all-time leader for weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, reaching a 23rd week at the top. Multiple outlets report the milestone follows a prior tie with Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” which previously held the record.
The sources describe the achievement as a new benchmark in Billboard chart history. Deadline and The New York Times specify that “Choosin’ Texas” holds the No. 1 spot for a 23rd nonconsecutive week, highlighting the length of its run. Rolling Stone, Billboard, Forbes, Variety, and Consequence all frame the record in terms of surpassing Carey’s total weeks at No. 1, while emphasizing that the new leader eclipses the holiday hit’s longstanding benchmark.
