Langley's 'Choosin' Texas' Nears Historic Hot 100 Milestone with 21st Week at Top
The country hit has now spent 21 weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100, just one week shy of Mariah Carey's all-time record of 22 weeks. The song has already broken multiple chart records during its run. In the latest tracking week, it earned 24.5 million streams and 58.1 million radio airplay impressions.
The track's latest weekly performance shows continued momentum, with slight increases across all three chart metrics: 24.5 million streams, 58.1 million radio impressions, and 7,000 copies sold. Beyond the main Hot 100, it maintains a strong presence on genre-specific and format-specific charts, holding the top spot on Streaming Songs for a second-longest run ever and leading Hot Country Songs for a 39th week.
Released under SAWGOD/Columbia with radio promotion from Triple Tigers, the song has successfully crossed over from country to pop formats, currently sitting at No. 4 on Adult Pop Airplay and No. 7 on Pop Airplay. Its 21-week reign places it just one week behind Mariah Carey's holiday classic, which could extend its own record later this year.
This milestone could reshape how record labels strategize long-term chart campaigns, as sustained radio and streaming support proves vital for breaking historical records. For country music, the song's crossover success may further blur genre boundaries, potentially opening more mainstream airplay opportunities for other female artists. Listeners and industry professionals alike may see this as a pivotal moment, influencing future promotional tactics and the cultural conversation around genre fluidity in pop music.
