Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” spends a record-extending 27 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The result extends the song’s all-time record for weeks at the top of the chart, which first began in 1958.

“Thriller” also leads the separate Streaming Songs and Digital Song Sales charts for the first time, while “Dracula” leads Radio Songs for an eighth week. The full charts are scheduled to appear on Billboard’s website on 10 November.
Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” has reached a record 25 total weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Taylor Swift’s “Patient Zero” interrupted its run after week 24.
