Although country music traditionally enjoys a much larger audience in America than in the U.K., Langley's chart-topping anthem is proving to be an exception. The track has steadily gained momentum across the Atlantic, reaching new career highs on several British charts and cementing its status as one of the defining country songs of 2026.
New Peak on U.K. Downloads Chart
This week, "Choosin' Texas" climbs from No. 3 to No. 2 on the Official Singles Downloads Chart, marking the highest position Ella Langley has ever achieved on the ranking.
The song has now spent 31 weeks on the chart tracking the U.K.'s best-selling digital singles across platforms including Amazon and iTunes. While it narrowly misses the top spot, the latest rise represents another significant milestone in the song's growing international success.
Keeping Langley from No. 1 is "Movin' to the Sun," the collaboration between Hugel, Imael Angel and Ultra Naté, which remains atop the downloads chart for a second consecutive week.
Streaming Success Continues
Beyond digital sales, "Choosin' Texas" is also gaining ground on streaming platforms.
The hit rises two places to No. 12 on the Official Streaming Chart, setting yet another personal best for Langley. With its steady upward momentum, industry watchers believe the single could soon secure a place inside the U.K.'s streaming top 10.
The song remains Langley's only appearance on the Official Streaming Chart, making its latest achievement another career first.
Holding Firm Inside the U.K. Top 10
After breaking into the British top 10 for the first time last week, "Choosin' Texas" continues to hold its position on the Official Singles Chart, remaining at No. 9.
The achievement marks Langley's first-ever top 10 hit in the United Kingdom and underscores the growing appeal of contemporary country music among British audiences.
The single has now spent approximately six months on the 100-position chart, reflecting consistent listener support since its release.
Slight Dip on Singles Sales Ranking
While the song continues climbing on downloads and streaming, it records a modest decline on the Official Singles Sales Chart.
After reaching a career-best No. 4 last week, "Choosin' Texas" slips three places to No. 7. Despite the slight drop, the song remains one of the strongest-performing country releases on the chart.
Dominating the U.S. Charts
Langley's success in Britain comes as "Choosin' Texas" continues its extraordinary run in the United States.
The single has ranked among America's biggest songs throughout much of 2026 and this week returns to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, earning its 12th non-consecutive week atop the prestigious chart.
The contrast between its American dominance and its gradual rise in the U.K. reflects the different levels of popularity country music enjoys in both markets. Nevertheless, Langley's steady gains suggest the song is becoming one of the genre's biggest crossover successes in recent years.
Career-Best Performance
The latest chart gains also represent a new career milestone for the Alabama-born singer-songwriter.
"Choosin' Texas" is currently Langley's only top 10 hit on the Official Singles Downloads Chart and remains the standout release from her sophomore album, Dandelion.
To date, Langley has recorded six entries on the Official Singles Downloads Chart:
- Be Her
- Bottom of Your Boots
- Choosin' Texas
- Dandelion
- I Can't Love You Anymore (with Morgan Wallen)
- You Look Like You Love Me (with Riley Green)
With the exception of "You Look Like You Love Me," most of the charting tracks are taken from her second studio album, further highlighting the project's commercial impact.
Two Songs Currently Charting
Langley currently has two songs appearing on the U.K. charts.
While "Choosin' Texas" continues to dominate multiple rankings, "Be Her," the second promotional single from Dandelion, remains on the Official Singles Chart at No. 47. The song also re-enters the Official Singles Downloads Chart at No. 94, giving the country star multiple charting titles in Britain simultaneously.
With strong streaming growth, resilient sales and continued chart longevity, "Choosin' Texas" appears well-positioned to extend its impressive international run in the weeks ahead.
