Post Malone is climbing the charts again, earning his second No. 1 single of the year with his new track “I Had Some Help” featuring country artist Morgan Wallen. The song has topped the Billboard Hot 100, marking another milestone for Malone, who previously hit No. 1 in April with “Fortnight,” a collaboration with Taylor Swift from her album, *The Tortured Poets Department*. “Fortnight” remains a Top 10 single this week.
The country anthem from Malone and Wallen was teased during a duet performance at Wallen’s Stagecoach Festival show. This week, the song debuted with a staggering 76.4 million streams, surpassing “Fortnight” as the most-streamed single in a week for 2024. This is the second country song to reach the top of the Hot 100 this year, following Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold ‘Em.” Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” climbs to No. 2, while Tommy Richman’s “Million Dollar Baby” lands at No. 3. Shaboozey’s “Bar Song (Tipsy)” enters at No. 4, bringing another country artist into the top ranks.
Billboard reports that Post Malone now boasts six No. 1 singles on the Hot 100 list. His previous chart-toppers include “Rockstar” featuring 21 Savage (2017), “Psycho” with Ty Dolla $ign, “Sunflower” with Swae Lee, “Circles” (2019), “Fortnight” with Taylor Swift, and now “I Had Some Help” with Morgan Wallen. Country music is clearly having a moment, with Wallen’s 2023 album *One Thing at a Time* returning to No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and his 2021 album *Dangerous: The Double Album* at No. 5. Fans eagerly await to see how Malone’s country hit performs in the coming weeks.
