Post Malone’s “I Had Some Help,” featuring Morgan Wallen, rebounds from No. 2 for a sixth week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart. The song, Post Malone’s sixth leader and Wallen’s second, spent its first five weeks on the list at No. 1 beginning upon its debut in May.
The collaboration is the first to log six weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100 in 2024, surpassing the five weeks on top, of six total dating to late 2023, for Jack Harlow’s “Lovin on Me.” No song has led longer since Wallen’s “Last Night” rang up 16 weeks, nonconsecutively, at No. 1 in March-August last year.
“I Had Some Help” also hits No. 1 on the Radio Songs chart, becoming a rare title that has topped the all-format airplay tally as well as the Country Airplay survey.
Plus, Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” rises to a new No. 2 Hot 100 high; Kendrick Lamar’s former leader “Not Like Us” jumps 6-3, and returns to No. 1 on the Streaming Songs chart, following his Juneteenth The Pop Out: Ken & Friends concert – in which he performed the track five times; and Sabrina Carpenter claims two songs in the Hot 100’s top five for a third week.

‘Help’ Tops Hot 100, Radio Songs
“I Had Some Help,” on Mercury/Big Loud/Republic, adds a sixth week at No. 1 on the Hot 100, with 76.5 million radio airplay audience impressions (up 5%), 39.1 million official streams (down 3%) and 12,000 sold (down 8%) in the U.S. June 21-27.
The team-up climbs 2-1 on Radio Songs – becoming Post Malone’s second leader, after “Circles” dominated for 11 weeks in 2019-20, and Wallen’s first. It also keeps at No. 3 after two weeks atop Digital Song Sales, and slips 2-4 after it led Streaming Songs chart in its debut week.
As it leads Country Airplay for a second week, “I Had Some Help” becomes just the sixth song to have topped the Country Airplay and all-format Radio Songs charts, dating to the lists’ 1990 inceptions (and the latter’s 1998 expansion to include country panelists, among other format reporters). Below is a recap, with all six songs having achieved both country and pop/adult radio success, as they have all reached the top 10 on the Pop Airplay, Adult Pop Airplay and Adult Contemporary charts in addition to their Country Airplay coronations.
Plus, “I Had Some Help” hits No. 1 in just its eighth week on Radio Songs, by far the fastest trip to the top among the six hits below.
