The record is significant, as Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” ties Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus‘ “Old Town Road” and Shaboozey‘s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” for the most weeks at No. 1 by a non-holiday song.
That means the only song sitting ahead of it for most weeks at No. 1 is “All I Want for Christmas is You” by Mariah Carey, with 22 weeks spent at No. 1.
Another prominent country song among the longest runs at No. 1 on the Hot 100 is Morgan Wallen‘s “Last Night.” The song spent 16 weeks at No. 1 in 2023.
