Ella Langley hits 10-week Hot 100 run

Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” has spent 10 consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, Billboard reported this week. The chart run gives Langley one of the longest current streaks at the top of the U.S. singles chart and extends a breakout year that has kept her near the top of multiple country rankings. Yahoo, citing the same chart week in a May 22 feature, said Langley also occupied the No. 2 slot with “Be Her.” ### How was the 10-week run confirmed? Billboard said four days ago that “Choosin’ Texas” claimed a 10th week at No. 1 on the Hot 100. That chart is Billboard’s flagship U.S. songs ranking and is updated weekly. Yahoo’s May 22 article matched that milestone, describing the 10-week stay as part of a broader historic run for Langley. (billboard.com) AOL also summarized the same chart week, saying Langley’s song was No. 1 for a 10th week. That secondary match matters because the Yahoo article was a feature framing the milestone, while Billboard’s item was the chart-specific source. ### What made this chart week stand out beyond just No. 1? (billboard.com) Yahoo reported that Ella Langley held both the No. 1 and No. 2 positions on the Hot 100 with “Choosin’ Texas” and “Be Her.” Forbes, in a May 22 article carrying the same reporting, said that pairing marked a first for country music. (aol.com) MSN’s top-10 roundup for the May 23 chart week also said Langley controlled the top two spots. Billboard’s brief on the No. 1 record focused on “Choosin’ Texas,” while the Yahoo and Forbes pieces framed the larger significance of her occupying both positions at once. (yahoo.com) ### When did “Choosin’ Texas” first reach No. 1? Billboard reported about three months ago that “Choosin’ Texas” had hit No. 1 on the Hot 100 for the first time. In that earlier report, Billboard said the single was also leading Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay, tying the song’s crossover success to country radio and streaming momentum. (msn.com) Country-focused follow-up coverage later described the song as Langley’s first Hot 100 leader. Those reports are secondary, but they align with Billboard’s earlier chart item that marked the original ascent to the top. ### What else is happening around Langley right now? (billboard.com) WAVY reported on May 22 that Langley, Riley Green and Bailey Zimmerman will headline the 2027 Patriotic Festival in Virginia Beach, Virginia. The local station’s report linked the booking news directly to Langley’s chart moment, saying “Choosin’ Texas” had reached its 10th consecutive week atop the Hot 100. (countrynow.com) WTKR separately reported that the 2027 festival will run from May 28 to May 30 at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront. Bay Country 97.9 said early-bird presale tickets are scheduled for June 4 and general ticket sales for June 5. (wavy.com) ### What are the next concrete dates to watch? June 4 is the announced early-bird presale date for the 2027 Patriotic Festival, according to Bay Country 97.9. June 5 is the stated on-sale date for general tickets, and WTKR said the event itself is scheduled for May 28-30, 2027, with Langley, Riley Green and Bailey Zimmerman on the bill.
