This kind of take made a Rolling Stone writer so mad they wrote a whole piece about it.

At this point, though, if someone contends they've never even heard of
"Choosin' Texas" or Langley, it may say more about the listener than the song.
Or, for that matter, what they want to project to the world. With incessant news coverage alongside chart and playlist presence, it's pretty difficult to still claim total ignorance on this one.
Perhaps there is a deeper reason why people say they haven't heard the song and feel the need to make it known: cultural cachet.

Until this week I had never heard of “Choosin’ Texas,” which I guess is now the most popular song in music history. That’s on me I suppose.

Takes like this routinely make me realize how small the sphere of influence of "influential" publications is. There are large swathes of some of the most populous parts of the world where people don't know about this publication.
