Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” is yet again the biggest song in America. The track commands not only the Billboard Hot 100, but also several of the tallies that help build the main songs roster in the nation. “Choosin’ Texas” – likely the top track in the U.S. so far in 2026 in terms of total consumption – is also steady in first place on both the Digital Song Sales and Streaming Songs rankings.
As “Choosin’ Texas” holds and refuses to move on the roster that focuses on the bestselling cuts of any style via platforms like iTunes, Langley breaks out of a tie with some of the most successful smashes of the past two decades and ties an Oscar-nominated blockbuster.
Ella Langley Holds at No. 1 on the Sales Chart
“Choosin’ Texas” has now spent 11 of its 37 weeks on the Digital Song Sales chart at No. 1. Luminate reports that this time around, Langley’s breakout hit sold a little more than 8,500 copies. That is up 500 purchases from the period prior.
“Choosin’ Texas” Ties “Happy” by Pharrell Williams
With 11 weeks at No. 1 on the Digital Song Sales chart, Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” is now tied with “Happy” by Pharrell Williams. More than a decade ago, that cut, which earned the super-producer an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song, managed the same incredible run.
“Choosin’ Texas” Joins the 10 Longest-Running Leaders
“Happy” and “Choosin’ Texas” are now tied as the ninth longest-running champions in the more than two-decade-long history of the Digital Song Sales chart. A pair of smashes by BTS, “Dynamite” and “Butter,” are matched as the most impressive rulers ever, as both managed 18 frames on top. That’s one more than “Despacito” by Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee and Justin Bieber, which held that honor for nearly half a decade before BTS conquered.
Ella Langley May Break Her New Tie In a Few Days
“Choosin’ Texas” will have to lead the Digital Song Sales chart for another two weeks before it ties any other hits. Next frame, if the cut remains in charge, Langley will pass Williams and stand alone, with “Choosin’ Texas” becoming the sole ninth longest-running ruler, while “Happy” descends. Flo Rida and T-Pain’s “Low,” “Uptown Funk” by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars, and “Closer,” a collaboration between the Chainsmokers and Halsey, ran the show for 13 weeks apiece, and it might not be long before “Choosin’ Texas” is able to tie those hits.
Here is a look at the 10 longest-running No. 1s in the history of Billboard‘s Digital Song Sales chart.
- 18 weeks – BTS – “Butter,” “Dynamite”
- 17 weeks – Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee – “Despacito (ft. Justin Bieber)”
- 16 weeks – Lil Nas X – “Old Town Road (ft. Billy Ray Cyrus)”
- 15 weeks – Shaboozey – “A Bar Song (Tipsy)”
- 13 weeks – Flo Rida – “Low (ft. T-Pain),” Mark Ronson – “Uptown Funk (ft. Bruno Mars),” and The Chainsmokers – “Closer (ft. Halsey)”
- 11 weeks – Ella Langley – “Choosin’ Texas,” Pharrell Williams – “Happy”
Taylor Swift Trails Ella Langley
At the moment, “Choosin’ Texas” does not face tough competition when it comes to claiming the highest rung on the Digital Song Sales chart. This frame, Taylor Swift’s “I Knew It, I Knew You,” a former ruler, didn’t manage to sell even half as many copies as “Choosin’ Texas.” “I Knew It, I Knew You,” which has spent four frames on the rundown, sold just 4,100 copies – a loss of 2,500 sales from the period prior.
Ella Langley Fills 40% of the Top 10
Of the 25 spots on the Digital Song Sales chart, Langley appears in four. “Choosin’ Texas” leads the charge once more, while “Be Her” – which was blocked from the summit by “Choosin’ Texas” – is steady at No. 5. “I Can’t Love You Anymore,” a collaboration with Morgan Wallen, slips to No. 9, and “You Look Like You Love Me,” one of multiple team-ups with fellow country artist Riley Green, is a non-mover in tenth place. Langley controls 40% of the uppermost tier this time around.
