If you’re one of the many people who’ve been expressing their shock the past week or two about Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” becoming the longest-reigning Billboard #Hot100 No. 1 of all time, that’s basically understandable.⁠ ⁠ The song is an obvious-sounding hit by a quickly rising star, but did it seem historic right off the bat the way that Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men’s megastar teamup and 16-week No. 1 “One Sweet Day” did? Or even a tiny bit after the bat, like Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee and Justin Bieber’s map-expanding 16-week No. 1 “Despacito” did, or Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus’ culture-shifting 19-week No. 1 “Old Town Road” did? Not particularly. ⁠ ⁠ So how did this happen? And why has it inspired not just such surprise, but fury among those just learning about “Choosin’ Texas” and its chart dominance these past couple weeks? ⁠ ⁠ Billboard takes a closer look at the link in bio.
