Add The New York Times on GoogleAgrega The New York Times en Google The Queen of Christmas is no longer the ruler of the singles chart.Ella Langley\u2019s song \u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas,\u201d an old-fashioned country ballad about a two-state love triangle, held the No. 1 spot on Billboard\u2019s Hot 100 chart for a 23rd week, surpassing the record set by Mariah Carey\u2019s holiday standby \u201cAll I Want for Christmas Is You,\u201d the publication announced on Tuesday.The achievement crowns Langley, 27, as the new record-holder on Billboard\u2019s flagship singles chart. \u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas,\u201d which came out last October, first reached No. 1 in February and bobbed in and out of the top spot for a few months, before holding at No. 1 steadily since July. Unlike many hybridized country hits recently, Langley\u2019s track, which she wrote with Miranda Lambert and two others, is a classic slice of heartsick, Nashville-style songcraft, with nostalgic allusions to songs by George Strait and Ronnie Milsap.Positions on the Hot 100 are calculated through a formula that incorporates streams, download sales and radio airplay. Last week, \u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas\u201d had 21.8 million streams in the United States, along with 6,000 sales and about 58 million \u201cairplay audience impressions,\u201d a measurement of the song\u2019s popularity on broadcast radio.Long runs at No. 1 used to be rare, with the 16 weeks notched by Carey and Boyz II Men for their candied 1995 ballad \u201cOne Sweet Day\u201d holding for 21 years. Since then, \u201cDespacito\u201d (2017), the Latin landmark by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee, with Justin Bieber, and Morgan Wallen\u2019s \u201cLast Night\u201d (2023) have also hit 16 weeks. Harry Styles\u2019s \u201cAs It Was\u201d (2022) came close, with 15. And Lil Nas X\u2019s \u201cOld Town Road\u201d (2019), with Billy Ray Cyrus, and Shaboozey\u2019s \u201cA Bar Song (Tipsy)\u201d (2024) each ruled for 19 weeks.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTCarey\u2019s \u201cAll I Want for Christmas\u201d has been a seasonal standard since it came out in 1994. But it took 25 years for the song to reach No. 1, finally hitting the top position just before Christmas in 2019, helped by streaming playlists and by Carey\u2019s escalating annual marketing push, which has included Christmas-themed concerts, a children\u2019s book, an animated film and a mini-documentary.How much longer can Langley rule the chart? With no strong contenders on the horizon it could be a while. On the other hand, Christmas is just around the corner.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENT",
