Ella Langley’s album Dandelion now stands alone as the most successful female album in Billboard history from a singles perspective, according to a report published on November 10. The milestone follows the song “Choosin’ Texas” spending its 27th week at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, a record the song set when it passed Mariah Carey’s long-standing mark.
Dandelion breaks the 30-year record held by Mariah Carey’s Daydream as the female album with the most weeks at number one on the Hot 100, according to the Buzzing Pop post cited by Whiskey Riff. Langley achieved the feat with just one song, a measure of how dominant “Choosin’ Texas” has been.
A record built on one song
“Choosin’ Texas” has now spent 27 weeks at number one on the Hot 100, according to Billboard, as reported on Monday. The song garnered 18.8 million official streams, 53 million radio airplays and 4,000 units sold in the latest week, according to Whiskey Riff’s report on the chart.
The song first reached number one in February 2026, and it has returned to the top in seven separate runs, topping the chart in nine different months, according to earlier reports. It previously broke the record at 23 weeks, passing Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You”, which held the old mark at 22 weeks.
The most successful female album
With “Choosin’ Texas” spending its 27th week atop the chart, Dandelion now stands alone as the most successful female album in Billboard history from a singles perspective, according to the report. The album’s success is built on a single song, a feat that underlines how completely the track has dominated the chart this year.
Langley has also become just the second woman in history to hold the number-one album and song in the US simultaneously with a country song and album, according to the same report. The song, released in October 2025, has become the most popular song in America, and its 27-week run shows no sign of ending. The next chart will show whether the run reaches a 28th week.
