Will Ella Langley's 'Choosin' Texas' log a 16th week at No. 1 on the Hot 100 chart dated August 8?

Ella Langley's "Choosin' Texas" held No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for a 16th consecutive week on the chart dated August 8, 2026, per Billboard's tally published around August 3-4. The feat ties the song for the fourth-longest command in Hot 100 history and makes it one of only seven songs to ever lead the chart for 16 or more weeks; it first reached No. 1 in mid-February 2026. Billboard's weekly breakdown attributed the continued hold to steady streaming and radio growth rather than a sales surge: the song logged 25.5 million official U.S. streams (up 1% week-over-week) and 52.3 million radio airplay audience impressions (up 1%) for the tracking week of July 24-30, even as download sales fell 24% to 9,000. No new release challenged its position; instead country music broadly dominated the chart, with Langley's single topping a top five composed entirely of country songs for the first time in Hot 100 history, alongside tracks from Morgan Wallen, Taylor Swift, Stella Lefty, and a Langley/Wallen duet. The extended run keeps "Choosin' Texas" within range of the all-time record among songs by women, held by Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You." Predict Six's community had put the probability of a 16th week at 67% "Yes" across three votes ahead of the chart's release, correctly anticipating the outcome.
