Ella Langley just broke a massive Billboard record.

The 27-year-old country singer-songwriter’s hit “Choosin’ Texas” is still at No. 1 for a 15th week on the Billboard Hot 100 as of Monday (July 27).

What Billboard record did Ella Langley break?

She now holds the record for the longest-leading non-holiday hit by a woman with no male-billed acts, according to her record label.

As a result, she’s just surpassed the 14-week records set by Whitney Houston (“I Will Always Love You”) and Mariah Carey (“We Belong Together”).

The song is featured on her Billboard 200 No. 1 album Dandelion, and became the first song by a woman to simultaneously top the Billboard Hot 100, Hot Country Songs, and Country Airplay charts.

She wrote it with Miranda Lambert, Luke Dick, and Joybeth Taylor, and Miranda also lends background vocals.

What is “Choosin’ Texas” about?

“I had the amazing opportunity to sit down in a room with Miranda, Luke, and Joybeth on a writing retreat about a year ago,” Ella said in a statement.

“We wrote a bunch of songs together, but the second one really stuck with me. Miranda, being from Texas, started telling us one of her wild stories about drinkin’ and doing something ridiculous, and I said, ‘Well, she’s from Texas, I can tell.’ As soon as I said that, we all just looked at each other like —yep, that’s it! That’s the next song. She’s from Texas, the girl he went with. And I thought well…you know I love a song like that.”

Miranda also shared a statement, saying: “Ella may have grown up in Alabama, but she has a rowdy, fiery side that us Texas women recognize and respect. She’s an artist through and through, and it was important to me to let her artistry shine through at every stage of the process, from co-writing to co-producing. I’m so proud of how ‘Choosin’ Texas’ does that, and can’t wait to see the world continue to get to know Ella through this song.”
