\n\tElla Langley<\/a>\u2019s \u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas\u201d rebounds a spot for a fifth week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100<\/a>, dating to its first week<\/a> atop the chart, when it became her first leader, in mid-February.<\/p>\n

\n\tBoosting the song\u2019s profile during the tracking week, its official video, which Langley co-directed, premiered April 1<\/a>. In addition to Langley, the clip, filmed in Fort Worth, Texas, stars, among others, singer-songwriter Kaitlin Butts, Yellowstone actor and musician Luke Grimes (both of whom have appeared on Billboard\u2019s charts), \u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas\u201d co-writer and co-producer Miranda Lambert and actress Ava Phillippe (daughter of actor Ryan Phillippe and actress Reese Witherspoon).<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas\u201d concurrently tops the multimetric Hot Country Songs<\/a> chart for a 19th week.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe song is on Langley\u2019s sophomore LP, Dandelion, due Friday (April 10).<\/p>\n

\n\tCheck out the full rundown of this week\u2019s Hot 100 top 10 below.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data, the lattermost metric reflecting purchases of physical singles and digital tracks from full-service digital music retailers; digital singles sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites are excluded from chart calculations. All charts dated April 11, 2026, will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, April 7.
