Doja Cat Reviews Ella Langley's 'Choosin' Texas' on Livestream: 'I Don't Care About Country Music'

Doja Cat delivered a blunt assessment of Ella Langley's "Choosin' Texas" during a livestream on 25 August, telling viewers she does not care about country music — while conceding she likes a Keith Urban song from 2004. Billboard

Her comments land at a moment when the song she was reviewing sits at the very top of the charts. "Choosin' Texas" notched its 19th week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 — the weekly singles ranking that tracks sales, streams and radio airplay in the US — on the chart dated 29 August. Billboard

That 19-week run ties the longest non-holiday No. 1 streak in the Hot 100's history. The only other songs to match it are Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road" and Shaboozey's "A Bar Song (Tipsy)." Billboard

Doja Cat herself is no stranger to the Hot 100's summit. She has topped the chart twice: with "Say So" featuring Nicki Minaj in 2020, and "Paint the Town Red" in 2023. Billboard

Her Tour Ma Vie World Tour kicks off in Detroit on 1 October. Billboard

One artist with two chart-toppers of her own, casually reviewing a song that has now matched the longest non-holiday reign in Hot 100 history, makes for an unusual collision. That Doja Cat's verdict came laced with a confession of indifference toward country music as a genre only sharpened the moment — a pop star with her own road tour weeks away, weighing in on a track that has spent nearly half a year at No. 1.
