Ella Langley Ties 2 Hip-Hop Hits With 14th Streaming Songs No. 1 as Hot 100 Run Hits 13 Weeks

Q: With a record-breaking album and three top hits, what is Ella Langley's next move to cement her legacy?

Ella Langley’s clearest next move is to turn a blockbuster moment into a durable, multi-platform career: keep feeding the charts, prove arena-level touring power, and broaden her brand without diluting the music. The evidence points that way already. She has a Billboard 200 No. 1 album in *Dandelion*, a culture-defining smash in “Choosin’ Texas,” and two more major Hot 100 hits in “Be Her” and “I Can’t Love You Anymore” with Morgan Wallen. She also swept the ACM Awards with a record seven wins, giving her both industry credibility and mass visibility. Extending the sold-out *Dandelion Tour* with new arena dates, including prestige venues like Red Rocks and the Greek Theatre, is the most immediate way to prove she is not just a streaming phenomenon but a long-term live draw. Just as important is crossover scale. “Choosin’ Texas” is already performing like a rare country-pop event, and Grammy-level recognition outside country categories would elevate Langley from genre leader to national pop-cultural force. Her Wallen duet and select dates on his tour expand that reach further. She is also moving into lifestyle branding with Hillbetty jewelry and a stronger Tecovas partnership. Those deals matter if they remain extensions of her image rather than distractions from it. If Langley sustains the quality of her songwriting, converts this run into headline touring dominance, and lands broader awards recognition, she will move from having a historic peak to building a lasting legacy.

Fourteen weeks at No. 1 on Billboard's Streaming Songs chart moved Ella Langley's "Choosin' Texas" into a tie with Desiigner's "Panda" and Post Malone and 21 Savage's "Rockstar" for fifth-longest reign.
That streaming strength helped keep the song atop the Billboard Hot 100 for a 13th week, while it also led the sales chart for a 12th nonconsecutive week.
"Choosin' Texas" has now passed a group of 13-week Streaming Songs leaders including "Wrecking Ball," "Fancy," "The Box" and "We Don't Talk About Bruno."
The bigger records remain distant: "Despacito" logged 16 Streaming Songs weeks at No. 1, Morgan Wallen's "Last Night" had 19, "Old Town Road" reached 20, and Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" holds the 26-week mark.
