She may be a new name here, but in the US Ella Langley has just overtaken her I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston and We Belong Together by Mariah Carey, remaining for 15 weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 with his Choosin' Texas. It is the only non-Christmas song by a female artist to hold the title. He is now tied with Harry Styles and As It Wasand seven weeks away from All I Want for Christmas of Carey, which clocked in at 22 weeks.
How long will Langley be able to maintain its lead? There are about 14 weeks until Carey declares the start of the Christmas season, at which time All I Want for Christmas could be back in the rankings. But that's more than enough time for Langley to clock up enough weeks to set an all-time record, regardless of genre or gender. Currently, she is in a good position to surpass her country tour partner Morgan Wallen and Last Night (16 weeks) and even Lil NasOld Town Rdwith 19).
