Country Music History in the Making: Ella Langley's Quest for Number One with 'Choosin’ Texas
Ella Langley is aiming to achieve a significant milestone in country music by rallying her fans to help propel one of her new songs to the top of the charts. Her track, Choosin’ Texas, is currently in a tight competition for the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, vying against Olivia Dean's Man I Need. With a late surge, Ella believes that her song could secure the coveted top position, potentially making country music history.
The accomplished Country Music Association (CMA) award winner is on the brink of a remarkable accomplishment in the music industry. Through her Instagram story, Ella reached out to her supporters, urging them to make a final push on iTunes to potentially secure the number one spot on the Billboard charts. She highlighted the rarity of women achieving this milestone in country music history, emphasizing that fewer than 10 female artists have reached the top spot on the Billboard charts.
Choosin’ Texas has been rapidly climbing various music charts, recently claiming the number one spot on Billboard’s Streaming Songs chart. This achievement marks only the fourth time a country song by a female lead artist has topped the list in the chart's 13-year history. Co-written by Ella, Miranda Lambert, Luke Dick, and Joybeth Taylor, the song was born out of inspiration during a retreat where the artists collaborated on multiple tracks.
Ella Langley's previous success with her hit song You Look Like You Love Me at the 2025 CMAs garnered significant attention, setting the stage for her latest endeavor with Choosin’ Texas. The song, which resonated deeply with Ella, was crafted during the retreat where Miranda Lambert shared captivating tales of her experiences in Texas, adding a personal touch to the track.
Choosin’ Texas is slated to be the lead single from Ella's upcoming album, Dandelion, scheduled for release on April 10th. To support the album's launch, Ella will embark on her Dandelion Tour starting on May 7 in Toledo, Ohio, and concluding on August 15. The tour promises to showcase Ella's musical prowess and offer fans a live experience of her latest creations.
As Ella Langley's song Choosin’ Texas continues its ascent on the music charts, the question remains: is it deserving of the top spot on Billboard's rankings? With the support of her dedicated fan base and the momentum behind the song's success, Ella's ambitious goal of making country music history may soon become a reality.
