What is the song of the summer 2026?- Ella Langley - "Choosin' Texas"
About this episode
Garrett Fisher explores whether Ella Langley's 'Choosin' Texas' can maintain its position as the frontrunner for Song of Summer 2026 amidst competition from other major artists.
Ella Langley's "Choosin' Texas" has spent ten non-consecutive weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100—more than any song in 2026. The Alabama-born singer's country ballad about choosing career over love keeps getting knocked off by Taylor Swift, Bad Bunny, Bruno Mars, BTS, Olivia Rodrigo—then climbing back. Made history when she and Megan Moroney simultaneously topped song and album charts (first time two female country artists did this). Her duet partner Morgan Wallen won 2023 Song of Summer with "Last Night" (which also peaked early in March). Can a ballad about Texas landscapes and regret win Song of Summer? Does it have the staying power to hold off Harry Styles, Bruno Mars, and everyone else making a run? Garrett Fisher explores the frontrunner.
