Ella Langley has broken Mariah Carey’s Billboard Hot 100 record, spending 23 weeks at No. 1 with her hit song ‘Choosin’ Texas.’
I have no idea who this is.
I think I finally reached old man status; I have no idea who that is or what that song is.
That’s not old man status. Not knowing about this artist or song is a mark of good taste.
Here’s the chorus:
She’s from Texas, I can tell by the way He’s two-steppin’ ‘round the room And judgin’ by the smile that’s written on his face There’s nothin’ I can do It doesn’t take a crystal ball to see A cowboy always finds a way to leave Drinkin’ Jack all by myself He’s choosin’ Texas, I can tell
I’m grateful I’ve never heard it because from reading the lyrics, she’s pining for a total loser. On top of all that, there’s even an official remix by Drake.
Edit: fixed spelling
Pro tip: two spaces at the end of a line create a line break without a new paragraph.
She’s from Texas, I can tell by the way
He’s two-steppin’ ‘round the room
And judgin’ by the smile that’s written on his face
There’s nothin’ I can do
It doesn’t take a crystal ball to see
A cowboy always finds a way to leave
Drinkin’ Jack all by myself
He’s choosin’ Texas, I can tellHonestly the most useful thing I will read today.
Ah. Thank you.
a song isnt bad just because the singer is pining for a loser. lots of people do that in real life, why cant a song do that
Literally ever country song could be AI generated and not a single speck of quality would be lost.
Likewise, and also old enough to miss “actual” country music. This stuff is such piss-weak bland pop-country bullshit and generic as fuck. It’s a caricature of the real thing.
so, like Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran etal ?
Choosing Texas? Yawn. Wake me up when its Losing Texas
Who?
Mariah Carey is a pretty famous artist who may or may not have a grunge album.
hit song “Choosin’ Texas”
Ah, let’s consult Wikipedia:
Genre: country
That explains things.
Thank you for the answer. I did go and look up who this person was. I’m usually at least vaguely aware of artists who set records, and I’ve never heard of this singer. I am also officially old and out of the loop.
I myself do hear of some of them, but now I’ve been hit with the triple whammy of being old, not being USian, and not giving a damn about country music.
Voted Best Country Song 2026 by all your favorite AI bots!
the bots have won finally
It’s not a good song
It’s not a good song
Haven’t heard it, but it can’t be more irritating then Mariah Carey’s solstice shit.
I actually don’t mind MC at Christmas. Do I want to hear it on repeat, of course not but it’s not as ear bludgeoning as most people find it.
You are a deafer man than me then
Who’s paying to keep it there? That song is crap.
Will I ever have heard this?
My country-listening kid has heard the song and wonders who is streaming it. Not popular in their friend group. This is the first I’ve heard of Ella. 🤷
Someone needed to take down Pariah Scary.
Is that what we are calling her now?
I may be able to defeat her with my penis.
Can your penis sing? Because you can definitely defeat her.
Ok, so, I went to watch the music video cause I never heard of this lady nor song. I haven’t even gotten to the song yet, but the hats, in a car, in a bar!? Them hats are big and damn stiff. How in the world is that man driving with one on? They aren’t peak comfort either, relaxing in a bar? Naw, more like trying to avoid knocking it on everything and everyone that gets close.
Do people really wear that shit in a bar? No one is wearing it driving, let alone hauling a trailer. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
I wish I could watch things and not notice shit like this.
Yes. It’s absolutely a thing. You think it’s irritating in the setting of the video? Try going to a concert where idiots have these on. It blocks everyone’s view, yet they all still do it.
I like to think I know whats what, even if I don’t like it, but I honestly never even heard of this person or the song I think. I may officially be to old.
Seems like a local ‘issue’.
who?
