Overview

  • Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” reached its 22nd week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 on Monday, tying Mariah Carey’s long-held record for most weeks atop the chart.
  • Industry trackers say the single is positioned to surpass Carey’s total if it holds the top spot for a 23rd week on the next chart.
  • Langley’s album Dandelion returned to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and has produced additional Hot 100 top-10 hits, and Langley leads CMA nominations with nine.
  • Billboard observers and outlets attribute the run to continued streaming and playlisting, heavy radio rotation, TikTok-driven virality and high-profile collaborations that keep listenership high.
  • The milestone highlights a broader chart shift where streaming-weighted methodology helps nonconsecutive runs endure, a trend that has also powered long runs by songs like “Old Town Road” and recent country crossover hits.
