Billboard updates its Hot 100 songs chart each Tuesday (with adjusted release schedules on some holiday weeks), reflecting data from the previous week (Friday-Thursday). Each Billboard chart is then titled “Week of (date of the upcoming Saturday)”. This market will resolve according to the number 1 song on the Billboard Hot 100 chart titled “Week of August 22, 2026”. Songs will be primarily ranked by order on the specified chart. If two or more songs are tied for any position, ties will be broken by alphabetical order of the songs' listed titles. This market will resolve to the song that occupies the highest finishing position after applying this ranking. This market will resolve as soon as the relevant chart is published. If the Billboard Hot 100 chart for the specified week is not published within 14 calendar days of the expected release date, this market will resolve to “Other”. The resolution source for this market will be the official Billboard Hot 100 chart, published on the Billboard website (https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/) or through other official Billboard channels.Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” commands near-certain odds for the Billboard Hot 100 dated August 22 thanks to its unprecedented 17-week reign through the August 15 chart—the fourth-longest No. 1 run in history and a new record for a non-holiday song by a woman. Sustained dominance in streaming, radio airplay, and sales has kept the country-pop single ahead of all competition since February, with no major new releases or viral tracks positioned to break its momentum in the immediate tracking window. Traders price other titles at negligible levels because historical precedent and current metrics show few realistic paths for an upset unless an unforeseen blockbuster drops with massive first-week consumption or Langley’s song experiences a sudden decline in engagement. The next chart update remains the key near-term catalyst.
