When Ella Langley’s crossover country hit “Choosin’ Texas” first topped the Billboard Hot 100 way back in February, few envisioned a future in which it surpassed “Old Town Road” and “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” to become the longest-running non-Christmas #1 single. I never thought any song would catch up to the overall record-holder, Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You.” But Langley stormed past Lil Nas X and Shaboozey two weeks ago with a record-breaking 20th week, and now she’s tied Carey too. “Choosin’ Texas” is officially #1 for a 22nd nonconsecutive week, pulling her even with Carey’s Christmas classic.
