Langley's " Choosin' Texas " (which, we think, is the Song of the Summer ) has now surpassed Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" and Mariah Carey's "We Belong Together" in chart domination, logging a record-setting 15 weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100, as the only non-holiday song by a woman to hold the title.
