Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” twirls back to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, adding a second week atop the chart. Up from the runner-up spot, it first led the list three weeks earlier. Meanwhile, as “Choosin’ Texas” rules the Hot 100, Megan Moroney’s Cloud 9 debuts atop the Billboard 200 albums chart — making Langley and Moroney the first women who primarily record country music to lead Billboard’s premier all-genre song and album charts simultaneously, dating to the Hot 100’s August 1958 inception (after the Billboard 200 began publishing on a regular weekly basis March 1956; in four other weeks, men/women/group combinations placed country music at No. 1 on the surveys together, but not two women in the same week). Related Megan Moroney Earns First No. 1 Album on Billboard 200 Chart With ‘Cloud 9’ Also contributing to the chart double-up for women artists, Miranda Lambert is among the co-writers and co-producers of “Choosin’ Texas.” Langley and Lambert co-penned the song with Luke Dick and Joybeth Taylor and co-produced it with Ben West. It became the first Hot 100 No. 1 for each talent; Moroney earns her first Billboard 200 leader. “Choosin’ Texas” previews Langley’s album Dandelion, due April 10.
