Ella Langley continues to dominate the charts.

Billboard announced this week that Langley mega-hit "Choosin' Texas" (a hit with the Ella Fellas) has stayed at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for 12 straight weeks.

Only 25 other songs have pulled off the accomplishment dating back to 1958, and only four songs have a longer run in the number one spot.

For example, she regularly goes viral with comments about her Christian faith, including the comments below:


You know, it feels like my relationship with Christ has changed over the last 365 days. A little more than that. I went every show of my life without even mentioning His name, to not being able to shut up about it…And I’ve done things in my life that makes me feel not worthy of this song. But I’ll tell one thing, who makes me feel worthy is Him. I’m always worthy. He’s gonna meet me where I’m at, no matter where I’m at.
