Ella Langley's "Choosin' Texas" continues its dominant run atop the Billboard Hot 100 for the chart dated May 16, 2026, marking nine non-consecutive weeks at number one and fueling her breakout as a country-pop powerhouse with "Be Her" locked at number two. Nine artists have now claimed the summit this year, including Olivia Rodrigo's debut #1 "Drop Dead" on May 2, BTS' "Swim" in April, and earlier hits from Taylor Swift (twice), Bruno Mars, Harry Styles, Bad Bunny, and Mariah Carey re-entries. Strong streaming metrics and sales drive current positioning, but top-10 climbers like Tame Impala & Jennie collaborations signal volatility. Traders eye weekly chart updates and summer releases from Kacey Musgraves amid fierce genre competition.

Any song released with the listed artist as a primary artist will count, including songs released before 2026. If a song is released jointly by multiple artists credited equally as primary artists, it will count for all of them. Features, writing credits, production credits, or other forms of non-primary contributions to a song will not count. Artist attribution will be determined solely by the artists displayed by Billboard on the relevant chart.
Billboard updates its Hot 100 songs chart each Tuesday (with adjusted release schedules on some holiday weeks), reflecting data collected in the previous week (Friday-Thursday). Each Billboard chart is then titled “Week of (date of the upcoming Saturday)”. The first Billboard Hot 100 song chart relevant to this market will be the chart titled “Week of January 17, 2026” for a data collection reference period of January 2-8, 2026. The final Billboard Hot 100 song chart relevant to this market will be the Chart titled “Week of January 9, 2027” for a data collection reference period of December 25-31, 2026.
Updates or revisions made within this market’s timeframe to the #1-ranked song on previously published Billboard Hot 100 charts will be considered; however, such updates will not disqualify a previously published Billboard Hot 100 #1 song from counting. If a Billboard Hot 100 #1 song is revised after initial publication, both the originally published #1 song and the revised #1 song will count for this market. Updates or revisions made after the release of the final Billboard Hot 100 song chart relevant to this market will not be considered.
The resolution source for this market will be the weekly Billboard Hot 100 songs charts published each week at https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/ and through other official Billboard channels.
