Billboard reports that Ella Langley’s "Choosin’ Texas" has tied Mariah Carey’s "All I Want for Christmas Is You" for the most weeks at No. 1 on the Streaming Songs chart, marking its 26th week at the summit in the Oct. 24‑dated survey.
What happened
In the week ending Oct. 15, the track logged 19.8 million chart‑eligible U.S. streams, a 5 % decline from the prior week, according to Luminate data. The song first topped the chart on the Jan. 31 issue and has enjoyed multiple runs, including an eight‑week stretch from Aug. 15 to Oct. 3.
What the reports add
Billboard notes that only three songs have spent 20 weeks or more at No. 1 since the chart began in 2013: Langley’s hit, Carey’s holiday classic, and Lil Nas X’s "Old Town Road" (20 weeks). It also points out that this is the first week the top‑streamed song fell below 20 million streams since Harry Styles’ "Aperture" logged 18.2 million in Feb. 2024.
