Country Queen Reigns: 'Choosin' Texas' Hits No. 1
15 May
Summary
- 'Choosin' Texas' reaches number one after 19 weeks on chart.
- Olivia Dean's 'Man I Need' drops to second place after 21 weeks.
- Tame Impala's 'Dracula' hits career-high position at number four.
The song 'Choosin' Texas' has ascended to the top of the music charts, reaching number one after 19 weeks. This victory unseats Olivia Dean's 'Man I Need,' which had held the top position for 21 non-consecutive weeks. Dean's collaboration with Sam Fender, 'Rein Me In,' also saw a slight decline in rank.
'Choosin' Texas' now holds the distinction of being the first song by a female country singer to lead the ARIA Singles Chart since Taylor Swift's 'All Too Well (Taylor's Version)' in 2021. This placement highlights a significant moment for female artists in country music.
Elsewhere on the charts, Tame Impala's 'Dracula' achieved a new career-high peak at number four. This psychedelic pop track has gained momentum, partly due to a remix featuring Jennie from BLACKPINK and a viral dance trend on TikTok, which also propelled it onto the Billboard Hot 100 and the UK Singles Chart.
The ARIA Top 50 also welcomed new Australian music, with Katherine Halloran's 'Nobody's Baby,' Simone Waddell's 'Unforgettable,' and Beddy Rays' EP 'Sunday Slowdown' making their debuts. 'Dracula' remains the only Australian song within the ARIA Top 50.
