Ella Langley's "Choosin' Texas" extended its record run atop the Billboard Hot 100, holding the No. 1 spot for a 27th week on the chart dated Nov. 14, 2026. The country ballad first reached No. 1 in February 2026 and broke the previous record for longest-running Hot 100 No. 1 — previously held jointly by Mariah Carey's "One Sweet Day" and Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" at 16 weeks apiece — back in September, when it logged its 20th-plus week at the top. The song briefly lost and reclaimed the top spot during its run; coverage dated Nov. 9 noted it had just returned to No. 1 for a 25th week before extending the streak further the following week. Its continued dominance came even as high-profile competition arrived on the chart, including a resurging Michael Jackson track and new entries from Tame Impala and JENNIE, none of which were able to dislodge Langley's single. The streak reflects sustained radio airplay, streaming and sales performance for the song more than a year after its October 2025 release. The community mostly anticipated the extension: 75% of Predict Six voters correctly predicted the song would notch a 27th week at No. 1, in line with its months-long grip on the chart.

Israeli President Isaac Herzog tasked Gadi Eisenkot, leader of the Yashar party, with forming Israel's next government on Nov. 7-8, choosing him over Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after neither bloc secured the 61 Knesset seats needed for a majority in the Oct. 27 election. Eisenkot secured recommendations from factions representing 67 Knesset members, compared with 46 who backed Netanyahu, according to Al Jazeera and Israeli outlets. Herzog said Netanyahu's Likud remained the largest single party in the incoming Knesset, but that fact alone did not obligate him to give Netanyahu first opportunity to form a coalition. Eisenkot was granted the standard 28 days under Israel's Basic Law to assemble a coalition, with Herzog able to extend that window by up to 14 additional days if needed. Netanyahu, who has not conceded, continued pushing for a national unity government in the aftermath. Eisenkot, for his part, called for a national emergency government and said he could swiftly form one with a substantial majority, even though some of the factions that recommended him, including Arab-led parties, remain divided over working together. The community mostly got this right: 80% of Predict Six voters expected Herzog to name someone to form a government by Nov. 11, and his Nov. 7-8 decision on Eisenkot came well within that window.

Georgia moved to No. 1 in major college football rankings during the week of Nov. 10, after Miami's loss on the road at Notre Dame opened the door for the Bulldogs. Georgia, which beat Ole Miss by 35 points days earlier, climbed past Miami and was voted No. 1 in the Associated Press Top 25 poll released Nov. 8, ahead of unbeaten Utah and Notre Dame, while Ohio State fell to 21st. The College Football Playoff selection committee, which releases its own weekly top 25 separately from the AP poll, followed suit in its second rankings of the season, released Tuesday, Nov. 10, elevating Georgia to the top spot after having placed Miami first and Georgia second in its initial Nov. 3 rankings. The shift reflected a chaotic first full month of the 12-team playoff era, with several previously unbeaten contenders, including Miami, losing in the season's tenth week. Georgia's ascent to No. 1 in both the AP poll and the committee's rankings gave the Bulldogs the inside track in playoff positioning heading into the season's final stretch. The community was unanimous and correct: all seven Predict Six voters expected the CFP committee to mirror the AP poll and rank Georgia first, and the committee's Nov. 10 release confirmed that expectation.

The Nasdaq Composite did not close below 24,000 on Nov. 10; instead, U.S. stocks staged a sharp rally that day, with the index climbing roughly 2.7%, or about 674 points, to close near 25,253, according to wire reports. The rebound came five trading days after the index's worst single-session decline since April 2025, a 5.5% plunge on Nov. 5 that left it at 24,315 amid a selloff in artificial-intelligence and chip stocks. The bounce into Nov. 10 was helped by a sharp drop in oil prices, with Brent crude falling roughly 5.8%, which eased inflation worries even as individual AI bellwethers such as Nvidia slipped. The market had been whipsawed through early November by concerns over stretched AI-related valuations, cautious commentary from Federal Reserve officials, and anticipation of a delayed Consumer Price Index report due that week. By the close of the Nov. 10 session, the Nasdaq had clawed back well above the 24,000 threshold that had briefly looked within reach during the Nov. 5 rout. The community leaned correctly on this one: 60% of Predict Six voters predicted the index would stay above 24,000, consistent with how quickly it recovered from its early-November low.

CoreWeave reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of $3.661 billion on Nov. 10, topping the $3.6 billion threshold and beating the high end of the $3.4 billion-to-$3.6 billion guidance range the AI-cloud company had issued in August. Revenue more than doubled from $1.365 billion in the same quarter of 2025, and the company's contracted revenue backlog grew to approximately $132.5 billion as of Sept. 30, according to its earnings release filed with the SEC. CEO Michael Intrator said quarterly revenue rose by more than $1 billion sequentially and that adjusted operating margins reached double digits a quarter ahead of the company's own plan. The beat came despite a rough month for CoreWeave's stock, which had shed roughly 45% of its value in the weeks before the report amid broader concerns about AI-infrastructure spending and data-center demand. The results offered some reassurance to investors that underlying demand for CoreWeave's GPU-cloud capacity remained strong even as its share price had been hit by sector-wide skepticism about AI capital expenditure. The community largely anticipated the beat: 60% of Predict Six voters correctly predicted revenue would clear $3.6 billion, matching the outcome once CoreWeave's earnings release became public.

House Republicans resolved their leadership fight on Nov. 10, when Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio defeated Majority Leader Steve Scalise of Louisiana in a closed-door, secret-ballot vote to become the next House Republican leader, according to Fox News. The contest opened after Speaker Mike Johnson told colleagues on Nov. 4 that he would not seek a leadership post in the next Congress, a decision driven by the GOP's sweeping losses in the Nov. 3 midterm elections that cost Republicans their House majority. Scalise and Jordan, the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, both launched bids within days of Johnson's announcement, framing the race as a choice between an establishment-aligned leader and a more combative conservative. Both men spent the following week making final pitches to colleagues before the vote. Jordan's win caps a comeback for the Ohio congressman, who in 2023 lost a bid to become House speaker after multiple failed floor votes against Scalise and others. With Democrats now holding the House majority, Jordan will lead a diminished Republican conference as minority leader rather than speaker. The community undercounted Jordan's chances: only 43% of Predict Six voters correctly picked him to beat Scalise, with a majority expecting Scalise's establishment backing to prevail in the internal vote.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention extended its order restricting entry of travelers who had recently been in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda or South Sudan, which had been set to expire at 4:59 p.m. Eastern time on Nov. 10. The order, first issued in May 2026 and renewed multiple times, was amended and continued in a notice effective Nov. 3 that runs through 11:59 p.m. Eastern on Dec. 18, 2026, according to a Federal Register filing. The CDC has repeatedly cited the scale of an Ebola outbreak in the DRC, which by mid-2026 had approached 5,000 deaths, along with a confirmed case linked to regional travel in Kenya and ongoing concerns about cross-border movement and limited health infrastructure in South Sudan. The restrictions apply to non-U.S. nationals who departed from or were physically present in the three countries within the prior 21 days. A related requirement added in early November also obligates airline passengers on U.S.-bound international flights to file attestations about their travel history. The community's forecast was unanimous and correct: all eight Predict Six voters expected the CDC to extend the order, consistent with the agency's pattern of repeated 30-day renewals throughout 2026 as the outbreak persisted.

House Speaker Mike Johnson told Republican colleagues on Nov. 4 that he would not seek a leadership post in the next Congress, according to a letter obtained by Axios, ending his bid to continue leading House Republicans after the party's steep midterm losses. Johnson cited the toll the speakership had taken on his family and is expected to remain in the House as a rank-and-file member representing Louisiana. His decision came after Democrats won back the House majority in the Nov. 3 midterm elections, which meant the GOP leader's post would shift from speaker to minority leader regardless of who held it. Johnson's exit immediately opened a leadership contest between Majority Leader Steve Scalise and Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, both of whom launched bids within days. House Republicans held internal leadership elections by secret ballot on Nov. 10, a week after the midterms, and Jordan defeated Scalise to become the new House GOP leader. The community got this one right: every Predict Six voter correctly predicted Johnson would not hold on to the leadership position, reflecting how clearly his decision to step aside had been signaled in the days immediately following the election.

Ether tumbled through the $2,200 level in the week leading into Nov. 10, closing well below the mark as a broader selloff in risk assets deepened. The slide began Nov. 5, when ETH shed about 7% in a single session as an artificial-intelligence-stock selloff spilled into crypto markets, erasing gains from a brief post-midterm-election rally. By Nov. 9, Ether was trading near $2,118 to $2,136, its lowest level since August, according to pricing data compiled by Fortune and CoinGecko. The decline accelerated amid six straight weeks of net outflows from U.S. spot Ether ETFs, totaling more than $365 million in the final week alone, and roughly $449 million in liquidations tied to the asset on Nov. 9. Traders were also bracing for the delayed October Consumer Price Index report, due Nov. 10, with economists expecting the annual inflation rate to tick up to roughly 3.9%, fueling further caution. Ether's drop tracked a wider risk-off mood across equities and digital assets that week, following the Nasdaq's worst single-day loss since April 2025 on Nov. 5. The community's forecast underestimated the move: only 40% of Predict Six voters expected ETH to close below $2,200, but the price action proved them wrong as the token stayed pinned beneath that level through the resolution date.
