When it dropped in the fall of 2025, Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” was an immediate hit in America, where country music will probably forever be huge. In the United Kingdom, it took months before the track debuted on the main singles chart, and throughout 2026, it has continued to grow in popularity. It is rare for a country tune to become a top 10 smash in that nation, and now Langley is looking for her first No. 1 across the Atlantic.

This frame, the singer-songwriter climbs to new career peaks on multiple tallies as one of the biggest hits of the year in many parts of the world ascends once more.

Ella Langley Reaches a New Career Peak

“Choosin’ Texas” rises from No. 5 to No. 3 on the Official Singles chart in its milestone thirtieth week on the ranking. The tally measures the most popular songs in the U.K. using a combination of streaming and sales activity.

Langley is blocked from advancing any higher by two non-movers. Sam Fender and Olivia Dean’s “Rein Me In” holds at No. 1 for a nineteenth frame, becoming the first song in U.K. history to spend that much time at the summit. The collaboration breaks the more than half-century-old record previously held by Frankie Laine’s “I Believe,” which stood alone for decades as the only 18-week ruler.

Shakira and Burna Boy are also blocked from the top spot once more. Their World Cup anthem “Dai Dai” holds at No. 2, directly between “Rein Me In” and Langley’s country smash.

Ella Langley Hits a New Streaming High at the Same Time

“Choosin’ Texas” also reaches a new peak on the Official Streaming chart. The single advances three spaces from No. 8 to No. 5 this week.

Ella Langley Keeps Resetting Her Career Peaks

“Choosin’ Texas” has marked Langley’s all-time high on both the Official Singles and Official Streaming charts for some time, and every time it rises, her career record improves along with it.

The track is one of half a dozen hits by Langley on the Official Singles chart, but it remains her only top 10 success. In fact, it is still her only top 40 hit. “Be Her,” the follow-up single from Langley’s Dandelion album, stands out as her second-highest-charting win. That tune has climbed as high as No. 43. “Choosin’ Texas” remains Langley’s only placement so far on the Official Streaming chart.

Ella Langley Charts “Choosin’ Texas” on Four Lists

“Choosin’ Texas” appears on four charts in the U.K. this week. While it rises on both the main singles ranking and the streaming tally, it moves in the opposite direction on the two sales-focused lists.

The global phenomenon falls from No. 5 on both the Official Singles Downloads and Official Singles Sales charts. On the former, it only dips to No. 8. On the latter, which is busier, the cut descends to tenth place.

Ella Langley Fills Three Spaces on the Main Singles Chart

Langley fills three spaces on the Official Singles chart, the most allowed for a lead artist at one time. “Be Her” improves one rung to No. 63. That position still leaves the single 20 spaces beneath its all-time peak of No. 43.

“Weren’t for the Wind,” meanwhile, rises three positions to No. 87. As it steps up, the tune establishes a new high. The surprise late hit debuted on the Official Singles chart only about a month ago, though it’s not a new cut.

Langley originally released “Weren’t for the Wind” as a single from Still Hungover, the retitled deluxe edition of her debut album Hungover. The song became available in October 2024, but after Langley’s profile grew considerably thanks to “Choosin’ Texas,” the older cut finally began gaining traction in the U.K. Nearly two years after its initial release, “Weren’t for the Wind” is still slowly climbing.
