Ella Langley has surpassed a streaming record that Post Malone and 21 Savage held for nearly a decade.
Ella Langley’s historic year just became even more ridiculous.
“Choosin’ Texas” has officially surpassed Post Malone and 21 Savage’s “rockstar” as the longest-running No. 1 hit in U.S. Spotify chart history. Before Ella’s record-breaking run, “rockstar” held the crown with 125 total days atop Spotify’s daily American ranking.
Released in 2017, “rockstar” was one of the biggest songs of the streaming era. It helped solidify Post Malone as a superstar, gave 21 Savage another enormous crossover moment, and remained nearly impossible to escape for months. Now, perhaps the greatest country song of all time has pushed it aside.
“Choosin’ Texas” has completely taken over streaming platforms, radio, social media, and the Billboard Hot 100, transforming Ella into one of music’s most recognizable new stars. Her momentum extends beyond the single, as Dandelion currently ranks among the year’s bestselling albums.
Reaching No. 1 is difficult enough. Remaining there for more than 125 days requires an entirely different level of popularity, consistency, and listener loyalty.
It has to feel amazing being Ella right now.
