Summary
Billboard said Tuesday that “Choosin’ Texas” logged a 23rd week at No. 1 on the Hot 100, breaking the mark held by Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You.”
The song’s latest week was powered by 21.8 million U.S. streams, 6,000 sales and about 58 million radio audience impressions under Billboard’s ranking formula.
Langley, 27, released the track last October; it first hit No. 1 in February, dipped in and out of the top spot, then has held it continuously since July.
The new record extends a recent era of longer chart reigns after earlier peaks of 19 weeks for “Old Town Road” and “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” though Carey’s holiday hit could challenge again as Christmas nears.
