Ella Langley's 'Choosin' Texas' Climbs Charts Post-Holiday

Ella Langley's 'Choosin' Texas' has become a phenomenon, rising to the top of both country and mainstream charts. The song's rapid ascent on the MediaBase Country Radio chart, reaching the Top 10 in just eight weeks, is the quickest for a female country artist in a decade. This success demonstrates the potential for traditional country songs to achieve widespread popularity.

Billboard writer Kyle Denis notes the impressiveness of a female country artist achieving a top-five placement on the Hot 100 without relying on a pop remix. 'Choosin' Texas' stands out as a genuine country song resonating with a broad audience. Its success may encourage the industry to invest in more authentic country music and artists. It is worth noting that while the song has organic appeal, some argue that it has also benefited from viral moments on TikTok.

Historically, only a small percentage of songs reaching the Hot 100's top 10 are country songs by women. The song's success underscores both the continued challenges women country artists face on the Hot 100, and how impressive it remains when one breaks through into the top region of the chart.

Its traditional country sound, organic appeal, and co-writing by Miranda Lambert have contributed to its success.

Very rare. Ella Langley is one of only 12 women to achieve this since 2000.
