\n\tElla Langley<\/a>\u2019s \u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas\u201d rebounds a spot for an eighth week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe song became Langley\u2019s first Hot 100 leader<\/a> and stakes its fifth distinct stay at No. 1, previously leading on charts dated Feb. 14; March 7 and 21-28; and April 11-25. It ties for the most separate No. 1 stays over a single release cycle, matching those for Morgan Wallen\u2019s \u201cLast Night\u201d in 2023 and Harry Styles\u2019 \u201cAs It Was\u201d in 2022. Overall, Mariah Carey\u2019s \u201cAll I Want for Christmas Is You\u201d leads with eight ascents to No. 1 in 2019-25.<\/p>\n

\n\tAmid the No. 1 run on the Hot 100 for the resilient \u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas,\u201d five other songs have taken turns at the top: Bad Bunny\u2019s \u201cDtMF,\u201d Taylor Swift\u2019s \u201cOpalite,\u201d Bruno Mars\u2019 \u201cI Just Might,\u201d BTS\u2019 \u201cSwim\u201d and Olivia Rodrigo\u2019s \u201cDrop Dead.\u201d (The commands of \u201cLast Night\u201d and \u201cAs It Was\u201d were interrupted by six No. 1s each.)<\/p>\n

\n\tElsewhere in the Hot 100\u2019s top 10, Langley\u2019s \u201cBe Her\u201d holds at No. 5 and \u201cI Can\u2019t Love You Anymore,\u201d with Morgan Wallen, debuts at No. 7 \u2014 becoming the first song by two core-country acts in lead roles ever to debut in the top 10 and giving Langley a historic triple in the tier.<\/p>\n

\n\tPlus, Noah Kahan\u2019s \u201cDoors\u201d opens at No. 9 on the Hot 100, as parent album The Great Divide launches at No. 1<\/a> on the Billboard 200.<\/p>\n

\n\tLangley\u2019s \u201cBe Her\u201d is steady at No. 5 on the Hot 100, after reaching No. 4, and her \u201cI Can\u2019t Love You Anymore,\u201d with Morgan Wallen, debuts at No. 7. The duet, released April 24<\/a>, arrives with 16.7 million streams, 10.8 million in radio reach and 10,000 sold.<\/p>\n

\n\tLangley adds her third Hot 100 top 10, and first to debut in the region. With all three in the top 10 together, she becomes the first artist that has primarily recorded country music to chart three initial career top 10s in the bracket simultaneously.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas,\u201d \u201cBe Her\u201d and \u201cI Can\u2019t Love You Anymore\u201d are from Langley\u2019s Billboard 200-topping<\/a> album Dandelion, with the duet added to the set (which was released April 10). She cowrote and coproduced all three songs.<\/p>\n

\n\tWallen notches his 19th Hot 100 top 10.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn part reflecting Langley and Wallen\u2019s high profiles, \u201cI Can\u2019t Love You Anymore\u201d makes a historic start: It\u2019s the first song by two core-country acts each with lead billing to debut in the Hot 100\u2019s top 10. The last such top 10 at all (regardless of debut rank)? Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton\u2019s iconic \u201cIslands in the Stream.\u201d The Bee Gees-written duet dominated for two weeks in 1983.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI Can\u2019t Love You Anymore\u201d (teased at the end of the official video<\/a> for \u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas\u201d) also starts at No. 1 on Digital Song Sales, where it\u2019s Langley\u2019s second leader and Wallen\u2019s 10th.<\/p>\n

\tKahan Unlocks 3rd Top 10<\/p>\n

\n\tNoah Kahan\u2019s \u201cDoors\u201d debuts at No. 9 on the Hot 100, led by 17.8 million first-week streams.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe song is the singer-songwriter\u2019s third Hot 100 top 10, after \u201cThe Great Divide\u201d (No. 6 peak in February) and \u201cStick Season\u201d (No. 9, 2024). \u201cDoors\u201d and the former are from his new album, The Great Divide, which blasts in at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with the biggest week for a rock album, by equivalent album units (389,000), since the chart began measuring by that metric in 2014.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cDoors\u201d concurrently debuts atop the multimetric Hot Rock & Alternative Songs<\/a> chart, marking Kahan\u2019s second leader; \u201cThe Great Divide\u201d was No. 1 in its debut week in February.<\/p>\n

\tRest of Top 10: 7 Songs by Women for 7th Week<\/p>\n

\n\tBruno Mars\u2019 \u201cI Just Might\u201d rises 3-2 after three weeks atop the Hot 100 in January to mid-March. It tops Radio Songs for an 11th week, with 78.1 million in audience (up 1%), while leading the multimetric Hot R&B\/Hip-Hop Songs<\/a> and Hot R&B Songs<\/a> charts for a 16th week each (as he extends his longest career run atop Hot R&B\/Hip-Hop Songs).<\/p>\n

\n\tLike Langley, Olivia Dean charts multiple songs in the Hot 100\u2019s top 10: \u201cMan I Need\u201d lifts 4-3, off its No. 2 peak, and \u201cSo Easy (To Fall in Love)\u201d rebounds a spot to its No. 6 best.<\/p>\n

\n\tOlivia Rodrigo\u2019s \u201cDrop Dead\u201d falls to No. 4 on the Hot 100 a week after it debuted at No. 1<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tAlex Warren\u2019s \u201cOrdinary\u201d dips 6-8 on the Hot 100 after 10 weeks at No. 1 last June-August. It spends a 52nd week in the top 10, becoming just the fourth song to reach the milestone; Teddy Swims\u2019 \u201cLose Control\u201d leads with 80 top 10 weeks in 2024-25.<\/p>\n

\n\tRounding out the Hot 100\u2019s top 10, Kehlani\u2019s \u201cFolded\u201d keeps at No. 10 after reaching No. 6.<\/p>\n

\n\tFor a seventh consecutive week, seven songs by women place in the Hot 100\u2019s top 10. It\u2019s the longest streak of seven or more concurrent top 10s by women acts since an eight-week stretch in August-October 2014, which was highlighted by No. 1s for Taylor Swift (\u201cShake It Off\u201d) and Megan Trainor (\u201cAll About That Bass\u201d) and featured women monopolizing the top five for a record five consecutive weeks<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ella Langley\u2019s \u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas\u201d rebounds a spot for an eighth week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":623433,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[53],"tags":[88,64964,216],"class_list":["post-623432","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-entertainment","tag-genre-country","tag-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/623432","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=623432"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/623432\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/623433"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=623432"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=623432"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=623432"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
