Ella Langley, Morgan Wallen and other country stars dominate this week’s “Billboard” charts.
Langley’s country hit “Choosin’ Texas” is now just the seventh song in history to spend 16 weeks at No. 1 on the “Billboard” Hot 100. But country music is having a huge week beyond the success of “Choosin’ Texas” — the entire Top 5 is made up of country songs for the first time in history. Two of those songs feature Morgan Wallen, who debuts at No. 2 with his new single, “Been By Now.”
