\n\tElla Langley\u2019s \u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas\u201d tallies a 17th week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, solely claiming the fourth-longest command in the chart\u2019s history. The single first led the list in February.<\/p>\n
\n\tHere\u2019s an updated look at the longest-leading hits, ranked by most weeks at No. 1, over the Hot 100\u2019s archives, which date to August 1958:<\/p>\n
\n
\n
22 weeks, \u201cAll I Want for Christmas Is You,\u201d Mariah Carey, 2019-26<\/li>\n
19, \u201cA Bar Song (Tipsy),\u201d Shaboozey, 2024<\/li>\n
19, \u201cOld Town Road,\u201d Lil Nas X feat. Billy Ray Cyrus, 2019<\/li>\n

16, \u201cLast Night,\u201d Morgan Wallen, 2023<\/li>\n
\n\tMeanwhile, Ariana Grande has two songs in the Hot 100\u2019s top five from her new album, petal<\/em>, which launches as her seventh No. 1 on the Billboard 200. \u201cHate That I Made You Love Me\u201d rebounds 8-2, after it led in its debut week in May, and the set\u2019s title track debuts at No. 4.<\/p>\n
\n\tRead on for details of the entire top 10, and more honors for Langley and Grande, among others, on this week\u2019s Hot 100.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data, the lattermost metric reflecting purchases of physical singles and digital tracks from full-service digital music retailers; digital singles sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites are excluded from chart calculations. All charts dated Aug. 15, 2026, will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, Aug. 11. For all chart news, you can follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.

\n\t\u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas,\u201d on SAWGOD\/Columbia Records, with Triple Tigers having promoted it to country radio, totaled 24.9 million official streams (down 2% week over week), 54.5 million radio airplay audience impressions (up 4%, thanks in part to it reaching the top 10 on Pop Airplay) and 9,000 sold (up 9%) in the United States July 31-Aug. 6.<\/p>\n
\n\tLangley\u2019s first Hot 100 leader rises a spot for a 17th week at No. 1 on Streaming Songs; holds at No. 6, after reaching No. 4, on Radio Songs; and climbs two places for a 14th week at No. 1 on Digital Song Sales.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas\u201d also dominates the multimetric Hot Country Songs chart for a 35th week, solely marking the third-longest reign in the chart\u2019s history, as it breaks out of a tie with Sam Hunt\u2019s \u201cBody Like a Back Road,\u201d from 2017; it trails only Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line\u2019s \u201cMeant To Be\u201d (50 weeks, 2017-18) and Shaboozey\u2019s \u201cA Bar Song (Tipsy)\u201d (45 weeks, 2024-25).<\/p>\n
\n\tPlus (and just before the end of the dog days of summer), \u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas\u201d laps up a 10th week at No. 1 on the Songs of the Summer chart.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n

Same Artist, Different No. 1s on Hot 100 & Country Airplay<\/h2>\n
\n
\n\tWith \u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas\u201d at No. 1 on the Hot 100 and Langley and Morgan Wallen\u2019s \u201cI Can\u2019t Love You Anymore\u201d newly No. 1 on Country Airplay, Langley becomes just the third artist, and first woman, to top the two charts simultaneously with different songs (since the latter began in January 1990).<\/p>\n
\n\tHere\u2019s a recap of the rare feat, which has twice involved Wallen:<\/p>\n
\n
\n
Ella Langley: \u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas,\u201d No. 1 on Hot 100 \/ \u201cI Can\u2019t Love You Anymore,\u201d with Morgan Wallen, No. 1 on Country Airplay, Aug. 15, 2026<\/li>\n

\n\tLangley\u2019s achievement is similar to Lonestar\u2019s in that both \u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas\u201d and \u201cAmazed\u201d were first worked to country radio before adding pop play, with both acts then moving on to subsequent singles at country. Wallen and McRae\u2019s song debuted atop the Hot 100, and was promoted to pop formats, while the title cut from his 2025 album was then his focus country radio hit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n
