After a temporary hiatus from the top spot on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart, Ella Langley is back at No. 1 for a historic 11th week.

The Alabama native’s song “Choosin’ Texas” continues to reach historic marks. This week, the song became the first by a female country music artist to top the chart for 11 weeks, breaking a tie between Langley and Debby Boone’s “You Light Up My Life.”

The song remains No. 1 on the Hot Country Songs chart for the 29th straight week and tops the company’s “Songs of Summer” chart for the fourth consecutive week.

The hit adds another unprecedented feat to Langley’s meteoric rise in country music over the last year.

“Choosin’ Texas” now has its sixth distinct stay at No. 1, previously leading on charts dated Feb. 14; March 7 and 21-28; April 11-25; and May 9-23.

It solely claims the most separate No. 1 stays over a single release cycle, one-upping the five flights for Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night” in 2023 and Harry Styles’ “As It Was” in 2022. (Overall, Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” leads with eight ascents to No. 1 over 2019-25.)

According to Billboard, “Choosin’ Texas” totaled 25.5 million official streams between June 19-25 along with 48.2 million radio airplay audience impressions and 8,000 sold in the United States.

The single rebounded a spot for a 12th week atop the Streaming Songs chart; dips to No. 6 from its No. 4 high on Radio Songs; and rises one place for a 10th week atop Digital Song Sales.
