As Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” continues its remarkable run on the charts, the hit song is also generating millions in estimated revenue.
Last week, “Choosin’ Texas” made history by reaching its 23rd non-consecutive week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. As of September 28, the song has remained at the top for a 24th week, extending its record-setting run.
The achievement is especially notable when you consider how quickly Langley’s career has grown. In 2023, she had fewer than one million monthly Spotify listeners. Today, that number has reportedly climbed to around 32 million.
With the song spending so much time at the top of the charts, fans naturally want to know: just how much money has “Choosin’ Texas” made?
How Much Money Has “Choosin’ Texas” Made?
Financial success wasn’t necessarily the main goal when Langley began her journey in country music, but the success of “Choosin’ Texas” has certainly brought significant revenue.
Before releasing the song as the lead single from her second album, Dandelion, Langley had already begun making waves with her 2024 debut album, Hungover. Songs including “You Look Like You Love Me” and “Weren’t For the Wind” helped establish her as one of country music’s rising stars and contributed to her being able to purchase her first home.
In a 2025 appearance on Katie & Company, Langley reflected on finally being able to enjoy the rewards of years of hard work.
Now, “Choosin’ Texas” has taken that success to another level.
According to estimates based on global data from Luminate, Billboard reported that “Choosin’ Texas” had generated approximately $13.9 million in revenue as of September 14.
Within the United States alone, the song was estimated to have generated approximately $10.5 million.
Those estimates take into account several revenue sources, including audio streaming, global video streaming, digital sales and U.S. radio airplay.
However, the estimated $13.9 million does not represent the amount Ella Langley personally took home. Her exact contract terms with Sawgod and Columbia Records, a Sony Music Group subsidiary, are not publicly available.
According to Billboard, the song had generated an estimated $2.4 million from U.S. radio airplay, based on more than 977,000 spins recorded by Luminate as of September 14.
Global publishing royalties were estimated at nearly $6 million, while global label revenue was estimated at nearly $8 million. The label-revenue figure does not include additional revenue and publishing royalties connected to Dandelion, the album featuring the song.
Sony Music Group did not provide comment to Billboard regarding the estimated revenue figures.
Regardless of how the money is ultimately divided among the artist, songwriters, publishers, label and other parties, one thing is clear: “Choosin’ Texas” has become an enormous commercial success—and its record-breaking chart run is still continuing.
