“I Had Some Help,” on Mercury/Republic/Big Loud, notches a second week at No. 1 on the Hot 100, with 55 million official streams (down 28%), 42.2 million radio airplay audience impressions (up 36%, good for the chart’s top Airplay Gainer award) and 21,000 sold (down 70%) in the U.S. May 17-23.

The collaboration claims a second week at No. 1 on the Digital Song Sales chart, dips to No. 3 from No. 1 on Streaming Songs and surges 15-9 on Radio Songs. On the lattermost list, it hits the top 10 in just its third week, completing the fastest flight to the region this year. It’s also the first song to reach the Radio Songs top 10 in as few as three weeks that has also hit the Country Airplay chart’s top 10 (dating to each chart’s 1990 inception). It pushes 9-8 on Country Airplay, as well as 20-13 on Adult Pop Airplay and 20-15 on Pop Airplay.

Billie Eilish’s “Lunch” debuts at No. 5 on the Hot 100 with 32.8 million streams, 20.2 million in radio reach and 3,000 sold.

The song arrives as Eilish’s sixth Hot 100 top 10 and highest debut. She previously began in the top tier with “My Future” (No. 6) and “Bad Guy” (No. 7).
