After passing Morgan Wallen, Harry Styles, and Whitney Houston, the country star’s ubiquitous “Choosin’ Texas” has achieved a 19-week feat atop the chart. It now ties the reigns of Shaboozey‘s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” and Lil Nas X‘s “Old Town Road,” as the longest-running non-holiday track on the chart. The track, while already fairly widespread, blew up over the summer and has sat at Number One since July 4, for nine consecutive weeks.
It is currently the longest reign atop the Hot 100 by a female country artist. Country music continues to dominate the Hot 100 this year. At the beginning of August, the genre claimed all top five spots on the 100: “Choosin’ Texas,” followed by Wallen’s “Been By Now,” Swift’s “I Knew It, I Knew You,” the Wallen-Langley collab “I Can’t Love You Anymore,” and Stella Lefty’s “Boston.” The current record for most weeks spent atop the Hot 100 is held by Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You.” That song has spent 22 weeks at Number One, and gets a steady boost every holiday season.
