Sienna was my preferred choice from this top 3 but I do prefer the Ella song to the HUGEL one at least!

Pleased Ella made it because Sienna is growing so quickly now so this could be the last week ahead for Choosin' Texas.

It does deserve to be a No.1.

@Hadji Now 123 has a No.1 single, update those iTunes reviews!

SIENNA'll probably snag a week at #1 next week - her momentum doesn't look it's slowing down unless Miley gets a massive debut

I hope Sienna will still have a chance, but ideally miley will have a week next Friday! Then I’ll happily take Sienna from then until wham 🤭🤭

Choosin' Texas is a fantastic song, delighted it has a #1 peak, even if it seemed near impossible to me a few weeks ago!

Happy for Ella! It feels like a worthy outcome after the long long climb. Can’t believe at one stage we thought it wouldn’t get higher than 35 🤣🤣

Its felt like she's remained there while a lot has fallen away. Similar to Rein me in.

Choosin' Texas

If anything deserves a cheese block emoji, this is it! 5 weeks at 35 and we thought that was its peak! 😂

Congrats to Ella, still thinking about how it felt stuck at number 35 for ages. I think the chart battle in the coming weeks should still be interesting seeing how much momentum Sienna is gaining.

Yes choosin texas 🙌, right sienna you can have it next week now

'Choosin Texas' reaches #1 in its 35th consecutive week on the chart, a whole week sooner than 'Rein Me In'!

Would rather had Sienna at the top but I'm just glad Imael AIngel didn't hit the top. Choosin' Texas has definitely generated loads of buzz so I guess it is deserved even if I think the song is rubbish

Biography

A powerful singer-songwriter and electric performer, Dolly Parton was one of country music’s most beloved figures. Born to an impoverished family in Tennessee in 1946 (in humble upbringings that would inspire such songs as “Coat of Many Colors”), she started singing in church, received a guitar at age eight and performed on regional radio programmes as a kid. She moved to Nashville the day after her high school graduation in 1964 and quickly signed with Monument Records. Her first charting single, 1966’s “Dumb Blonde”, introduced her as a fun-loving but independent woman confident enough to flout stereotypes and command her own destiny. In the late ’60s, Parton enjoyed huge success as a regular on Porter Wagoner’s weekly TV show and through a long string of collaborative hits. But she became even more popular as a solo artist, particularly with a pair of 1974 hits: the aching “I Will Always Love You”—which Parton wrote about needing to strike out on her own without Wagoner—and the timeless “Jolene”, with its poignant minor-key mode and emotional intensity. In 1981, Parton landed her first pop No. 1 hit, the blue-collar anthem “9 to 5”, and co-starred in the comedy film of the same name. She then had the biggest smash of her career in 1983 with “Islands In the Stream”, an easygoing romantic duet with Kenny Rogers. Further collaborations—like her albums with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris, plus cameos on songs by Kesha and Miley Cyrus (her goddaughter)—expanded Parton’s legacy through the end of the 20th century and well into the 21st. Over time, she became involved in endeavours like her namesake Dollywood theme park, a 9 to 5 Broadway musical and the literacy-focused Imagination Library. But Parton’s latter-day work—including a series of stripped-down bluegrass albums and 2023’s Rockstar, a rock ’n’ roll album released upon her Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction—showed that her musical gifts contained multitudes. She passed away in August 2026 at age 80. - Apple Music

Dolly Parton

An average song at the most from her.

HELL YES!!!! I'VE BEEN CALLING THIS!!!

After all those weeks at 35 when we thought it might’ve peaked, it hits number 1 in its 35th week!

Yessssss! Finally the UK has chosen Texas (with a little help from ACR admittedly)! So happy for Ella!

What a journey Ella has had to #1.

ARGHHHHHH SHE DID IT.

Yessssssss Ella

(I pulled over to write this).

#1 in its 35th week after all those weeks at #35, it was right in front of us the whole time

well done Ella - first UK country #1 since Islands In The Stream iirc

Islands peaked at #7 in the UK

Beyonce's Texas was the last country #1 in the UK. Unless you consider that Taylor Toy Story song "country"

Ella's journey to #1 has been wild! And to think there was a time it seemed CT was going to stall in the 30s.
