23 weeks at No. 1 and the record is only a loan until Mariah's rent is due

Ella Langley's 'Choosin' Texas' breaks Mariah Carey's all-time record for weeks at No. 1

Ella Langley's "Choosin' Texas" has spent 23 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, passing the 22-week record Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" set since 1994. The song has now charted for 48 weeks and still posts 21.8 million streams and 58.3 million radio impressions weekly, with pop, adult-pop and adult-contemporary stations adding it. Langley leads this year's CMA nominations with nine ahead of the Nov. 18 ceremony, and country music holds the Hot 100's top three spots.
