\n\tElla Langley<\/a> makes more chart history<\/a> as \u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas\u201d continues for a ninth week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100<\/a> and \u201cBe Her\u201d ascends to a new No. 2 high.<\/p>\n

\n\tLangley becomes the first woman known for primarily recording country music to claim the Hot 100\u2019s top two spots simultaneously over the chart\u2019s 67-year history. Among all core-country acts, only Morgan Wallen has also achieved the feat, for a week last May<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tOlivia Dean continues to chart two songs in the Hot 100\u2019s top 10: \u201cMan I Need\u201d falls 3-4, after hitting No. 2, and \u201cSo Easy (To Fall in Love)\u201d is steady at its No. 6 high.<\/p>\n

\n\tBruno Mars\u2019 \u201cI Just Might\u201d descends 2-5 after three weeks atop the Hot 100 in January to mid-March.
