Ella Langley credited her hit song “Choosin’ Texas” for “changing her life” after she broke Mariah Carey’s record for the longest run at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

“I’m genuinely trying to find the words to help explain what’s going on in my brain today,” Langley, 27, said on Tuesday in an Instagram video posted from beside her pool just hours after the record was announced.

“Choosin’ Texas” has spent 23 weeks atop the chart since February, surpassing Carey’s 1994 hit “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” which held the record at 22 weeks, accumulated across the holiday seasons from 2019 through 2026.
