Ella Langley makes more chart history as “Choosin’ Texas” continues for a ninth week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and “Be Her” ascends to a new No. 2 high.
Langley becomes the first woman known for primarily recording country music to claim the Hot 100’s top two spots simultaneously over the chart’s 67-year history. Among all core-country acts, only Morgan Wallen has also achieved the feat, for a week last May.
Elsewhere in the Hot 100’s top 10, Tame Impala and JENNIE’s “Dracula” blasts to No. 10 — becoming the first top 10 for each act — and women hold eight spots in the region, marking a run of prominence last linked nearly a dozen years ago.
Read on for details of this week’s entire top 10 on the Hot 100.
The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data, the lattermost metric reflecting purchases of physical singles and digital tracks from full-service digital music retailers; digital singles sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites are excluded from chart calculations. All charts dated May 16, 2026, will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, May 12. For all chart news, you can follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.
