Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” continues its record run atop the Billboard Hot 100 into mid-May 2026, now at nine weeks at number one on the strength of sustained streaming and sales even as radio support wanes. Olivia Rodrigo’s “Drop Dead” has climbed to third with improving streaming metrics, positioning it as the clearest near-term challenger for the top spot in the remaining May weeks. Fresh competition arrives with Drake’s Iceman album dropping May 15 and other major releases from Maluma and Giveon, which could reshape the upper chart by late May. Historical patterns show country crossovers like Langley’s often hold longer in spring, while pop and hip-hop drops frequently produce quick debuts or surges. Traders should monitor the May 23 and May 30 chart updates for any late momentum shifts driven by new streaming data.
