Will "Choosin' Texas - Ella Langley" be the #2 US song this week?

Analysis

The most concrete recent Spotify figure is a report published September 28 that "Choosin' Texas" remained at No. 1 on the Weekly Top Songs USA chart with 8,845,550 streams. That points to a song sitting at the top, not in second place. The report does not say which reporting week it covers, so it does not settle the October 9 chart. Separate reporting published October 3 says the song led the Billboard Hot 100 for a 24th total week. It cited 22.3 million official streams in the tracking week ending September 24. That is a different chart, territory and measurement from Spotify's weekly list, so I read it as context on the song's strength, not as a Spotify rank. My lean is that the song is more likely to be No. 1 again than to land exactly at No. 2. Its recent run at the top is the main reason, and a finish in second would need a clear change from that pattern. A newly released song interpolating "Choosin' Texas" has been reported as a fan favourite, but the supplied material does not show where it stands on Spotify's US chart. The thing to watch is the Spotify chart labeled October 9, due on Friday. If "Choosin' Texas" holds first place there, this outcome fails. If a challenger passes it, second place becomes plausible.
