"Choosin' Texas" logged a 10th straight week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, while Ella Langley also held No. 2 with "Be Her."

Langley also became the first country artist to hold the Hot 100's top two spots for multiple weeks, extending a chart streak that has pushed her beyond genre boundaries.
That momentum followed a record-setting ACM Awards night on Sunday, where she won 7 trophies—breaking the previous single-night mark of 6—as her April album release fuels a career-defining 2026.
