Country music sensation Ella Langley is calling on her fans to make history. Taking to Instagram, Langley urged her followers to stream her hit “Choosin’ Texas”, aiming to push the song to the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Hot 100.
At the time of her post, Langley’s track was sitting at No. 2, just behind Harry Styles’s latest single, “Aperture.”
“Y’all have put me in a position to do something only a few females in country music history have ever done,” she wrote. “We’re neck and neck for the No. 1. If we can get one last push on iTunes, we might make country music history!”
Langley’s goal isn’t just personal glory—it’s about representation. Fewer than 10 female country artists have ever topped the Hot 100, making the potential achievement a milestone for women in the genre.
“I know we can do it,” she added. “Let’s do it for women & let’s do it for country music.”
Even without hitting the top spot, “Choosin’ Texas” has already cemented Langley’s place in country music history. The single became her first top 10 hit, debuting at No. 5 earlier this year. Billboard notes that since 2000, only 12 women or all-female groups have charted in the Hot 100’s top 10 with a country song, representing just 1.7% of all top 10s this century.
Past female country chart-toppers include Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, and Beyoncé, while collaborations like Zach Bryan feat. Kacey Musgraves and Morgan Wallen feat. Tate McRae also reached the top.
With her sophomore album Dandelion set for release on April 10, Langley’s call to action is more than a chart push—it’s a rallying cry for women in country music everywhere.
