Ella Langley Tops U.K. Charts | Music News

0:00It's September 4th. This is Music News Today, your AI-powered source for everything music. Ella Langley just hit the top of the UK singles chart with her track, Choosing Texas. This is a big deal for her, marking her first number one in that region. The song has been on a slow but steady climb since January, making its way through the top 40, then the top 20, and finally breaking into the top 10, back in July. It took about 8 months for it to finally reach the number one spot. This achievement also means the end of a massive chart run for Sam Fender and Olivia Dean's song Rain Me In. That track had an incredible 23 weeks at number 1, making it the longest running number one single ever in the UK. It officially falls to number 7 this week, after holding the top spot for so long. Meanwhile, Choosing Texas is also making waves across the pond. It's already spent a record breaking 20 weeks at number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US. This is a huge milestone, especially for a song that isn't a holiday track, surpassing

Nine to five reached a new peak at number 5, with Jolyne and Islands in the stream, also charting. Few other interesting moves on the chart too. Dolly Puzz training season made a big jump back into the top 20 thanks to a viral trend, and Adele had a new personal best with, AINN and LA, landing at number 26.
