Country Sensation Ella Langley Hits #1 with 'Choosin' Texas' on Billboard Hot 100
The latest #1 song in the United States is a country track called "Choosin' Texas" by up-and-coming country artist Ella Langley. This achievement marks Langley's first #1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, making her the 31st artist to top both the Hot 100 and Hot Country Songs charts since the Hot 100's inception in 1958. "Choosin' Texas" is also the first song by a female artist to reach #1 on the Hot 100, Hot Country Songs, and Country Airplay charts, joining a select group of only four songs to achieve this milestone.
Written by Langley in collaboration with Miranda Lambert, Luke Dick, and Joybeth Taylor, "Choosin' Texas" features Lambert's backing vocals, adding a unique touch to the Tennessee native's heartfelt ballad about losing her partner to a Texan woman. The track, co-produced by Langley, Lambert, and Ben West, is part of Langley's upcoming album "Dandelion," set for release on April 10. Notably, this marks the first #1 for any of the song's writers or producers, showcasing the talent and success of the collaborative team.
In the current Billboard Hot 100 rankings, Olivia Dean's "Man I Need" has climbed back to #2, followed by previous chart-toppers like Alex Warren's "Ordinary" at #3, Bruno Mars' "I Just Might" at #4, and Huntr/x's "Golden" at #5. Noah Kahan's latest single "The Great Divide" makes a strong debut at #6, marking his first top 10 hit and his first #1 on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart. The top 10 also includes Taylor Swift's "The Fate Of Ophelia," sombr's "Back To Friends," Kehlani's "Folded," and Bad Bunny's "DtMF" at #10, benefitting from a post-Grammys boost that is expected to continue with a Super Bowl bump.
In conclusion, Ella Langley's "Choosin' Texas" has made a significant impact on the music charts, solidifying her position as a rising country star with a #1 hit. The song's success, along with the impressive rankings of other tracks on the Billboard Hot 100, reflects the diverse and dynamic landscape of contemporary music.
