Ella Langley's "Choosin' Texas" commands near-certain trader consensus for the Billboard Hot 100 #1 the week of August 22 thanks to its unprecedented 17-week run atop the chart through mid-August, fueled by dominant streaming volume exceeding 24 million weekly U.S. plays, consistent digital sales leadership, and steady radio impressions. The country-pop crossover has rewritten records for non-holiday titles by female artists while fending off challengers like Morgan Wallen's "Been By Now," which debuted at No. 2 but remains blocked. With no major competing releases or chart surges reported from artists such as Ariana Grande or Taylor Swift in the immediate tracking window, momentum favors continuation of the streak. An upset would require an unexpected late-week streaming or sales spike from a new entrant exceeding Langley's established baseline.
