Choosin' Texas — Ella Langley

“Choosin' Texas” is the first country song to crack the UK top ten since 2022, and it did it without a gimmick. Ella Langley’s fiddle-and-twang single earned 2.7 million UK streams last week, up 34% in radio spins, while playlist adds from BBC Country and Spotify’s Hot Country UK pushed it 11% higher than the previous week. It’s also the only song in this list with a physical single release, selling 4,200 copies in its first week — a sign that Langley’s audience wants more than streaming.
