How Much Money Has Ella Langley’s ‘Choosin’ Texas’ Generated?

The long-running chart-topper, which is close to eclipsing Mariah Carey's record on the Billboard Hot 100, has lassoed millions in revenue.

With more than 1.5 billion streams worldwide, Ella Langley’s hit song “Choosin’ Texas” was anointed the song of the summer and now looks poised to match the record for most weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. But what is that worth in 2026?

At 21 weeks and counting, “Choosin’ Texas” is currently the second-longest chart-topping hit on the Hot 100, and the longest non-holiday hit of all time, having edged ahead of Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” and Lil Nas X‘s “Old Town Road” (which both spent 19 weeks at No. 1) and sitting just one week behind Mariah Carey’s 22-week record with “All I Want for Christmas Is You.”
