Last verified: November 11, 2026, 6:38 a.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST, UTC−05:00; 11:38 UTC). Coverage period: the U.S. chart released during the week beginning November 9, 2026, officially dated November 14, 2026.
Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” remains the No. 1 song on the Billboard Hot 100 for a record-extending 27th total week in the ranking dated November 14, 2026. The headline challenge comes from Michael Jackson’s “Thriller,” which jumps from No. 20 to a new No. 2 peak after Halloween. Tame Impala and JENNIE’s “Dracula” also rises, from No. 5 to No. 3, making this one of the most Halloween-influenced chart weeks of the year.
This is the Hot 100 edition for the calendar week starting Monday, November 9—not a separate chart dated November 9. Billboard announced the results on November 9 and scheduled the full November 14-dated chart for publication on November 10. The comparison below uses the preceding chart dated November 7, not an older snapshot.
The table lists the official November 14, 2026 chart positions against November 7. A gain of two places means a song moved up two chart positions; a negative movement means it fell.
| Rank | Song | Artist | Nov. 7 rank | Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Choosin’ Texas | Ella Langley | 1 | — |
| 2 | Thriller | Michael Jackson | 20 | Up 18 |
| 3 | Dracula | Tame Impala & JENNIE | 5 | Up 2 |
| 4 | Housewife | Tate McRae | 2 | Down 2 |
| 5 | Boston | Stella Lefty | 3 | Down 2 |
| 6 | Been By Now | Morgan Wallen | 4 | Down 2 |
| 7 | Nicole Kidman | ADELA | 6 | Down 1 |
| 8 | BbY WOW | Karol G with Judeline & rusowsky | 9 | Up 1 |
| 9 | Hate That I Made You Love Me | Ariana Grande | 10 | Up 1 |
| 10 | Stupid Song | Olivia Rodrigo | 12 | Up 2 |
“Stupid Song” returns to the top 10 at No. 10, while Taylor Swift’s “Patient Zero” slips from No. 8 to No. 11. Langley’s hold on the lead is particularly notable because it withstands a surge from catalog music whose audience activity is concentrated around a holiday.
On the other side of the ledger, JADE’s “Angel of My Dreams” falls from No. 70 to No. 95, a decline of 25 places. Zach Bryan’s “Lodi When” slides from No. 59 to No. 80, and Zach Top’s “South of Sanity” drops from No. 63 to No. 82. These are rank changes, not measured percentage losses in streams, radio audience or sales; Billboard’s combined chart positions alone cannot establish which metric drove each decrease.
The November 14 chart covers U.S. consumption from October 30 through November 5, including Halloween on Saturday, October 31. That timing helps explain why listeners revisited spooky-season favorites during the tracking window. “Thriller” moved from No. 20 to No. 2 and surpassed its original No. 4 peak from 1984. Billboard also reported that the song topped its Streaming Songs and Digital Song Sales charts for the first time.
“Dracula,” by Tame Impala and JENNIE, gained two positions to No. 3 and led Billboard’s Radio Songs chart during the same period. The mix of radio strength and seasonal streaming interest shows why Halloween demand affected not just old catalog hits but also newer songs. Still, listeners should not assume that a rise of 18 chart places means streams rose by 18%; chart ranks and consumption growth are different measurements.
The week’s highest-ranking debut is Andrew Gold’s “Spooky, Scary Skeletons (Undead Tombstone Remix)” at No. 35. Other new entries include BigXthaPlug featuring Ava Max with “Burn” at No. 70, Gracie Abrams with “Here You Come, There You Go” at No. 73, BigXthaPlug featuring Loe Shimmy with “I Like It” at No. 75, Jason Aldean with “Anytime Soon” at No. 93, Latto featuring Doja Cat with “Okayyy” at No. 97 and Russell Dickerson with “Worth Your Wild” at No. 99.
Several familiar tracks returned instead of debuting for the first time. Ray Parker Jr.’s “Ghostbusters” reenters at No. 12, and Bobby “Boris” Pickett and the Crypt-Kickers’ “Monster Mash” returns at No. 13. Meanwhile, the first early signs of the winter holiday season are visible: Wham!’s “Last Christmas” reenters at No. 37 and Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” at No. 39. A reentry is not the same as a debut: the song has charted before and was absent from the immediately previous edition.
Billboard’s Hot 100 ranks songs across genres in the United States using a blend of on-demand audio and video streaming, radio airplay audience and eligible sales, with underlying data tracked or compiled by Luminate. It is not a Spotify-only list, a purely radio ranking or a vote by fans. Paid and ad-supported streams can be weighted differently, and Billboard and Luminate review submissions before finalizing the chart.
The edition discussed here is dated Saturday, November 14, 2026. Its principal tracking window was Friday, October 30, through Thursday, November 5, 2026. Billboard’s major No. 1 story was released on Monday, November 9; the complete dated chart was set to publish on Tuesday, November 10. These are three distinct dates: the measurement period, the announcement/publication period and the date printed on the weekly chart. The editorial coverage period remains the week beginning November 9.
It is reasonable to watch whether Halloween favorites fall back as seasonal listening fades, and whether winter holiday songs gain momentum heading into December. Those are possibilities, not reported future rankings. Likewise, “Choosin’ Texas” could extend its record at No. 1, but its next placement depends on the next completed tracking period and cannot be confirmed from this week’s data. The strongest reliable conclusion as of November 11 is that seasonal demand changed the upper reaches of the chart without removing Langley from first place.
The results were checked against Billboard’s Hot 100 chart dated November 14, 2026, the official November 7 Hot 100 comparison chart at Billboard Canada, and Billboard Canada’s November 11 reporting on the chart leaders. Changes in position are calculated from the two dated weekly editions; projections have been labeled separately.
