The Lo Down: Ella Langley Just Made HERstory!
Ella Langley has just achieved one of the most exciting milestones in her career — and in country music history. Her breakout hit “Choosin’ Texas” has climbed to #1 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 chart dated February 14, 2026.
This marks Langley’s first-ever Hot 100 No. 1, and cements her as one of only a select group of female country artists to reach the top spot on the all-genre chart. The achievement follows a remarkable chart run that saw “Choosin’ Texas” rise from its debut to the very top, capturing the hearts of country fans and mainstream audiences alike.
“Choosin’ Texas” has also been a huge hit on multiple Billboard charts — including spending weeks at #1 on Hot Country Songs and topping Country Airplay — making it one of the rare songs in history to lead across multiple major charts simultaneously.
The success of the song isn’t just a personal achievement for Langley — it’s a historic moment for women in country music. Only a handful of female country artists have ever reached #1 on the Hot 100 with a song rooted in the genre, putting Langley in the company of historic performers and blockbusters that crossed over into mainstream pop culture.
Since its release, “Choosin’ Texas” has connected with fans far beyond the traditional country audience, gathering major streaming numbers and radio play across formats — proof that Langley’s emotive storytelling and Lone Star spirit are resonating on a massive scale.
With her sophomore album Dandelion on the way, this historic achievement sets the stage for what could be a defining year for one of country music’s brightest rising stars.
