Post Malone’s “I Had Some Help,” featuring Morgan Wallen, logs a fifth total and consecutive week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart. The song, Post Malone’s sixth leader and Wallen’s second, is the first to notch at least its first five weeks on the chart at No. 1 since Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers” spent its first six weeks on the survey at the summit in January-March 2023.
“I Had Some Help” is also the first hit to spend five consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100 overall in nearly a year, since Wallen’s “Last Night” linked 10 straight frames on top, of 16 total, in May-July 2023. The former also ties for the most weeks in the lead in 2024, matching Jack Harlow’s “Lovin On Me” (which tallied five of its six weeks at No. 1 this year).
Meanwhile, Sabrina Carpenter boasts two songs in the Hot 100’s top three – marking her first appearances in the tier – as “Please Please Please” debuts at No. 2 and “Espresso” ascends to a new No. 3 best. With the tracks, which introduce her album Short n’ Sweet, due Aug. 23, she becomes the first soloist – and just the second act overall, after The Beatles 60 years ago – in the Hot 100’s history to place two initial top-three hits with no other billed artists in the region simultaneously.
Plus, Hozier earns his first No. 1 on the Radio Songs chart with “Too Sweet,” at No. 7 on the Hot 100 after reaching No. 1, and Billie Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather” makes an 11-9 flight on the Hot 100, becoming her seventh top 10.

The collaboration keeps at No. 2 after it led the Streaming Songs chart in its debut week; rises 5-3 on Radio Songs (as it pushes 3-2 on the Country Airplay chart, 8-7 on Adult Pop Airplay and 10-8 on Pop Airplay); and dips 3-4 after two weeks atop Digital Song Sales.
Sabrina Carpenter scores two songs in the Hot 100’s top three – marking her first appearances in the region – as “Please Please Please” debuts at No. 2, becoming her second top 10, and “Espresso” rises to a new No. 3 best.

She performed both songs during her set at New York’s Gov Ball music festival the following day. The tracks introduce her album Short n’ Sweet, due Aug. 23.
Making history, Carpenter is the first soloist – and just the second act overall after The Beatles, 60 years ago – in the Hot 100’s nearly 66-year history to place two initial top-three hits with no other billed artists in the region simultaneously. Here’s a recap of their achievements:
Sabrina Carpenter: “Please Please Please” & “Espresso,” June 22, 2024
The Beatles: “I Want To Hold Your Hand” & “She Loves You,” Feb. 15, 22, 29, March 7, 14, 21 & 28, 1964
(Akon, DaBaby, DJ Khaled, Iggy Azalea, Ludacris and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis have also charted their first two top-three Hot 100 hits in the bracket simultaneously, although not with pairs of songs without other billed artists.)
“Please Please Please” concurrently launches as Carpenter’s first Streaming Songs No. 1 and her second Digital Song Sales top 10 (No. 7), while “Espresso” wins the Hot 100’s top Streaming and Sales Gainer awards.
