Ella Langley has achieved a significant milestone in her music career, as her song “Choosin’ Texas” has reached the No. 1 position on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 chart. Co-written with acclaimed artist Miranda Lambert, along with JoyBeth Taylor and Luke Dick, this marks Langley’s first appearance at the top of the charts, according to Billboard.
With this remarkable achievement, Langley becomes the first female artist to simultaneously hold the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100, as well as the Country Airplay and Hot Country Songs charts. Previous songs achieving this rare feat include Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night,” Post Malone’s “I Had Some Help” (featuring Morgan Wallen), and Shaboozey’s “Tipsy (A Bar Song).”
In a heartfelt message shared on her Instagram account, Langley expressed her gratitude for the support she has received. She wrote, “We did it!! Choosin’ Texas is the #1 song on the @billboard #Hot100 🤯🥹 I can’t thank y’all enough for what you’ve done with this song; it blows my mind every single day. Here’s to women & country music ♥️.”
Upcoming Album and Future Prospects
“Choosin’ Texas” serves as the lead single from Langley’s anticipated album, Dandelion, which is set to be released on April 10, 2024. The song’s success not only highlights Langley’s talent but also reflects the growing presence of women in country music, a genre that has historically seen fewer female artists achieving such heights on mainstream charts.
Langley’s ascent in the music industry comes at a time when female artists are increasingly pushing boundaries and breaking records. Her collaboration with industry stalwarts like Lambert demonstrates a commitment to excellence and innovation within the genre.
As the music world watches her next moves, Langley’s rise to the top of the Billboard charts may inspire a new generation of artists aiming to make their mark in country music. With her upcoming album, fans eagerly anticipate what more she has to offer.
