\n\tThe track\u2019s journey to the top in the U.K. has been a slow and steady one. As per new findings from the Official Charts Company<\/a>, after debuting at No. 78 in January, \u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas\u201d broke into the top 40 the following month, the top 20 in April and then the top 10 in July. It reached No. 3 in August before finally completing its eight-month climb to the summit.<\/p>\n

\n\tImpressively, Langley\u2019s arrival at No. 1 also marks the end of a record-breaking reign. Sam Fender<\/a> and Olivia Dean<\/a>\u2019s \u201cRein Me In\u201d falls to No. 7, bringing its 23 non-consecutive weeks atop the chart to a close. The collaborative track remains the longest-running No. 1 single in the U.K., pulling clear of Frankie Laine\u2019s \u201cI Believe\u201d in the all-time rankings, which notched 18 weeks at No. 1 in 1953.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas,\u201d meanwhile, is enjoying major success in the U.S. As of Aug. 31, Langley has spent a landmark 20 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100<\/a>, securing the first non-Christmas track to reach this milestone. It passed the 19-week record previously held by Lil Nas X\u2019s \u201cOld Town Road\u201d and Shaboozey\u2019s \u201cA Bar Song (Tipsy).\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tElsewhere on the Official Singles Chart, Sienna Spiro\u2019s \u201cGreat Expectation\u201d rises to No. 2, becoming the new pop-soul supernova\u2019s highest charting number yet. \u201cMovin\u2019 to the Sun\u201d by Hugel, Imael Angel and Ultra Nate follows at No. 3, while Stella Lefty\u2019s \u201cBoston\u201d holds firm at No. 4.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe late Dolly Parton places three songs in the top 10 simultaneously for the first time as fans honor her legacy following the news of her death on Aug. 25. Signature hit \u201c9 to 5\u201d climbs to No. 5, reaching a new all-time high, while \u201cJolene\u201d and Kenny Rogers team-up \u201cIslands In the Stream\u201d follow at No. 6 and No. 9, respectively.<\/p>\n

\n\tOther notable placements include Dua Lipa\u2019s 2024 single \u201cTraining Season\u201d \u2014 which peaked at No. 4 upon release \u2014 rocketing to No. 18 two years later thanks to a viral social media trend and subsequent physical vinyl single release. Sombr\u2019s \u201cMy Body Isn\u2019t Ready\u201d jumps to No. 19, while fellow pop upstart Ad\u00e9la notches a new U.K. career best as \u201cAin\u2019t In LA\u201d finishes the week at No. 26.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ella Langley has finally lassoed the U.K. chart crown.
