Denny Carter @dennycarter.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Until 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.3:48 AM · Sep 27, 2026 138106622

Mike Fahey @mikefahey218.bsky.social · 27/09/2026↪ Replying to @dennycarter.bsky.socialI can hear the music outside of my house from a mini golf course. It was playing at least half the days I got home from work this summer. 020
Perry Ponds @perryponds.bsky.social · 27/09/2026↪ Replying to @dennycarter.bsky.socialHeard of it. Never heard it. 060
Brian Moffitt @bmoff.bsky.social · 27/09/2026↪ Replying to @dennycarter.bsky.socialIt’s fine. Doesn’t this just speak to how little variety there is in “popular” music? 050

Davis Nguyen @davisnguyentmn.bsky.social · 27/09/2026↪ Replying to @dennycarter.bsky.socialToo late to sue her for writing credits for interpolating episode 22 of @livingthestream.bsky.social , when the guys recommended Texans TE Owen Daniels going against the TE-friendly Tennessee defense 000
LarryLegend @bwtrainer.bsky.social · 27/09/2026↪ Replying to @dennycarter.bsky.socialSong is fine, nothing special. She has much better ones imo The main reason for it being the "most popular song ever" is the way Billboard works now is entirely broken and bears no resemblance to how the chart worked in previous eras 61988
mattkalina.bsky.social @mattkalina.bsky.social · 27/09/2026↪ Replying to @dennycarter.bsky.sociallol I literally hadn’t heard of this song until this week and still haven’t heard it. My wife even plays a station based on Eric church on our Alexa sometimes. Guess Rolling Stones thinks I’m ignorant. 0210
fastento.bsky.social @fastento.bsky.social · 27/09/2026↪ Replying to @dennycarter.bsky.socialI haven’t heard it outside of clips from podcast episodes this week. I don’t think it’s exactly my vibe, but it’s adjacent or like two steps removed from to a lot of stuff i listen to. Strange to me that it hadn’t popped up before. 130

e.g. Alice Roberts @findsyouwell.bsky.social · 27/09/2026↪ Replying to @dennycarter.bsky.socialI'd never heard of it until this week, listened out of curiosity. Kinda sounds like if Kacey Musgraves self-lobotomized 0170
Dan Davis @bindlestiff.bsky.social · 27/09/2026↪ Replying to @dennycarter.bsky.socialAFAIK I’ve still never heard it. And I’m grateful. 070
mister914.bsky.social @mister914.bsky.social · 27/09/2026↪ Replying to @dennycarter.bsky.socialI hear it in the supermarket and I live in a French dominant culture! If I could only listen to top 40, it is the best. Real instruments and her voice isn't auto tuned to goofiness. The lyrics feel like a combination of country cliches though. Four writers is small nowadays. 030
Randi 𓃭 Rose @kythkyn.bsky.social · 27/09/2026↪ Replying to @dennycarter.bsky.socialIs that the 'kiss my fish' song?? 000
Billie Cassin @billiecassin.bsky.social · 27/09/2026↪ Replying to @dennycarter.bsky.socialIt’s my belief that you actually had heard it and just didn’t know it, because it bears a striking resemblance to the Daisy cottage cheese jingle. 3330

David A. Conrad, Ph.D. @davidaconrad.bsky.social · 27/09/2026↪ Replying to @dennycarter.bsky.socialA good radio country song! I heard it (here in central Texas) on one of my non-commercial radio stations, either Sun Radio or KUTX, and although obviously polished it fit right in with their usual alt Americana fare. I'm sure it's the best new "longest run" song in many years. 100
Paul Arzooman @paularzooman.com · 27/09/2026↪ Replying to @dennycarter.bsky.socialThe Rolling Stone piece dragging everyone who hasn't heard the song is the reason I don't listen to crap like that. I listen to Prog Rock. I don't want just anyone to listen to it because I know that they are not capable of understanding it. 140
manleypeg.bsky.social @manleypeg.bsky.social · 27/09/2026↪ Replying to @dennycarter.bsky.socialIt’s due to streaming numbers. And digital buying numbers. For example radio listeners in cars is only 55% and even less with young people. It’s a catchy song too and catchy matters 000
Meg @birdiebracelet.bsky.social · 27/09/2026↪ Replying to @dennycarter.bsky.socialI listen to a lot of genres and thought that I must have heard it. Just listened to it on YT (didn’t want to mess with my Spotify algorithm). Not only have I never heard it, it sucks. 0191
pianomover.bsky.social @pianomover.bsky.social · 27/09/2026↪ Replying to @dennycarter.bsky.socialI heard of it listened to it for about 15 seconds. It’s ghastly. 010
BeeGee3 @beegee3.bsky.social · 27/09/2026↪ Replying to @dennycarter.bsky.socialAw, see this bums me out. All the World Cup visitors were using it in their videos and if you didn’t watch those, it means you missed the one fun thing that happened in this country over the summer. ☹️ 010

genxjennifer.bsky.social @genxjennifer.bsky.social · 27/09/2026↪ Replying to @dennycarter.bsky.socialWhen my kids were little, the only new music we listened to was from Disney soundtracks or Kids Bop. My awareness of “Mr. Brightside” by the Killers came after reading a retrospective article about the band and the ubiquity of the song *18 years* after its release. 4360

Auld Black Jack @freejack.bsky.social · 27/09/2026↪ Replying to @dennycarter.bsky.socialNever heard of it, made me look it up. Lyrics sound like AI slop to my ears. Gimme Lyle Lovett/ Bonnie Raitt or a dozen others over that over produced crap. 020

Alexandra Samios @xanboni.bsky.social · 27/09/2026↪ Replying to @dennycarter.bsky.socialSomehow, despite having a playlist that stops in about 1983, I have heard this song*, and I actually kinda like it? (*I am way too online) 020
AnnieGTMD @anniegt.bsky.social · 27/09/2026↪ Replying to @dennycarter.bsky.socialI listen to just about everything, not fond of country so not much of that in my playlists, but I have never heard of this song..and I'm kind of glad? 010
Kate G @not-that-kate.bsky.social · 27/09/2026↪ Replying to @dennycarter.bsky.socialI listen to Jason Isbell, Sturgill Simpson, Bonnie Raitt, Emmylou Harris, Lyle Lovett.

John M. Cunningham @jmcunning.bsky.social · 27/09/2026↪ Replying to @dennycarter.bsky.socialI knew about the song because I follow the charts but had to actively stream it to hear it. Even though I listen to Top 40 radio, the Top 40 stations where I live (Chicago) don't play it bc it's straight-ahead country (w/o hip-hop inflections). Think the same may be true in other northern cities. 140

poster tube @postertube.bsky.social · 27/09/2026↪ Replying to @dennycarter.bsky.socialI think most people just don’t listen to the radio anymore. You can blame automated DJs and constant commercials. Still a few good ones out there but they aren’t country stations 1140

AmieReine521 @savannah215.bsky.social · 27/09/2026↪ Replying to @dennycarter.bsky.socialI heard of this song a couple of months ago when I read it’s a top contender for a Grammy win. There seems to be a push on to make it popular (top of the charts!) but for a song that’s supposedly taken the country by storm the vast majority have never heard of it or the artist. Interesting. 0100
