Twenty Weeks at No. 1, and Music Row Isn't Surprised

Ella Langley's "Choosin' Texas" has just logged its 20th consecutive week at the top of the Billboard Hot 100, setting a new record for time spent at No. 1. Around here, that kind of number gets discussed the way people discuss anything built to last — quietly, and with real respect. Twenty weeks is not a fluke or a viral moment; it is a song that simply would not move. For a town that measures its songwriters in years rather than headlines, this is exactly the kind of record worth noting.
