ELLA LANGLEY MAKES HISTORY WITH "CHOOSIN' TEXAS”

Ella Langley has officially cemented her status as country music’s newest titan. Her hit single "Choosin' Texas" recently achieved a historic "triple crown," making her the first woman to simultaneously top the Billboard Hot 100, Hot Country Songs, and Country Airplay charts.

​The track—a bittersweet heartbreak anthem co-written with Miranda Lambert—is a certified streaming powerhouse. During its peak week, it amassed over 22 million U.S. streams and 34 million radio impressions, fueled by a viral surge and massive digital sales.

Only three other artists (Shaboozey, Post Malone, and Morgan Wallen) have ever held all three top spots at once.

​The song’s rapid climb to No. 1 on the Country Airplay chart, and continued rise on Top 40 airplay, proves its massive appeal beyond just TikTok and streaming playlists.

This success sets a massive stage for her upcoming second album, “Dandelion", arriving April 10, 2026. With a Platinum certification already under her belt it looks like Ella didn’t just choose Texas. She’s choosing the world stage. Tune in this week to hear my EXCLUSIVE HK REMIX and all your other faves!

ED SHEERAN IS BACK!

So get this — Ed Sheeran just dropped his eighth studio album this week (yes, eighth!), and he’s opening up about the early days of his career. Even though he was topping the charts and basically everywhere, he says those first 10 years were non-stop — just work, work, work — and behind the scenes, he was actually really unhappy. It’s wild to think that one of the biggest hitmakers of our time was struggling that hard while living the dream. Fame, huh? 

What would you do if told you’re gonna bust your ass for 10 years, but by your early 30’s you will be one of the wealthiest and most famous musicians on the planet? I know what I would say. Yes please! This week on In The Mix With HK™ you will hear the fruits of my labor in the studio. Let’s go!!!

CHARLI XCX IS NO LONGER A BRAT

Charli XCX has officially closed the chapter on her acclaimed Brat era with an emotional final performance in South Korea. The British pop star, who dominated global charts with Brat, used her farewell show to surprise fans with a teaser for her upcoming A24 film The Moment. No release date has been set yet, but Charli stars in, and is a producer on the film. It’s based on her original idea, and is a mockumentary following the life of a pop star on their first big tour. 

Tune in this week to hear my EXCLUSIVE REMIX on Charli’s Party 4 U. Along with other faves like Alex Warren, Sabrina Carpenter, Benson Boone, Huntr/x, BigXThaPlug and MORE!

MACK IS BACK!

Macklemore is back with a preview single from his upcoming first solo album in nearly 12 years. That’s right it’s a “solo album” cause he and Ryan Lewis are on a…break. Macklemore says of the split: “Lewis is my brother forever. There will be more M&RL music to come when the time is right. Last November, I built a studio in the basement of my home and got back to basics. I was able to find a balance with my art, recovery and being a dad. I wanted to make an album and raise my baby girl.” The first track from Macklemore’s new album is Glorious, featuring Skyler Grey. It’s starting to climb the charts and I’m getting ready to climb all over those beats!

This weekend on In The Mix with HK™ check out Macklemore’s new banger! Plus I’m workin’ on custom HK remixes of hits from Hailee Steinfeld, Shawn Mendes, Kesha, DJ Khaled, Liam Payne, Zedd, Major Lazer and so much more!

COUNTDOWN TO THE GRAMMYS

Music’s biggest night is just a month away. Of course I’m talking about the Grammy Awards. As someone who’s been lucky enough to be a long time voting member of the Recording Academy, a previous Grammy nominee and Governor on the Board of the Grammys, as well as had the pleasure of working on 5 Grammy Award winning projects - I take the awards very seriously. The question I get asked most about the process (aside from “who ya voting for?”) is… "what’s the difference between Record Of The Year and Song Of The Year". These are two of the nights biggest awards. Come on, let's face it!!! We’re talking about the one song that ruled the year in music here! The Record Of The Year category recognizes the artist’s performance as well as the overall contributions of the producer(s), recording engineer(s) and/or mixer(s) if other than the artist. Basically those creative, often behind the scene, magicians who worked to make that song sound amazing. The Song Of The Year category is strictly a songwriters award and recognizes the incredible songwriter(s).

This week I’ll be recognizing some of the hottest tracks by means of re-imagined sonic productions! Get ready for exclusive HK remixes on Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Sia and Flume. All 2017 Grammy nominees by the way, plus wicked beats from Bruno Mars, Martin Garrix & Bebe Rexha, Little Mix, Dua Lipa and Camilla Cabello. And of course there’re always brand new bangers with an HK twist. Like G-Eazy, Fitz & The Tantrums, Ed Sheeran, the Best New Artist nominee The Chainsmokers and so much more! Let’s get this party started!

They’ve  signed to 5 Seconds of Summer’s Label Hi Or Hey Records and have a new single Guys My Age making noise on the Pop charts!
