Post Malone continues to dominate the music charts, earning his second No. 1 single of the year with "I Had Some Help," a collaboration with country artist Morgan Wallen. The track, which hit the top of the Billboard Hot 100, follows Malone's previous chart-topping single "Fortnight" with Taylor Swift from her album The Tortured Poets Department. This country-infused anthem, teased during Wallen's Stagecoach Festival performance, opened with a staggering 76.4 million streams, setting a new record for single-week streams in 2024 and surpassing "Fortnight." Remarkably, "I Had Some Help" is the second country song to top the Hot 100 this year, following Beyoncé's "Texas Hold ‘Em."
The success of "I Had Some Help" highlights the current resurgence of country music on mainstream charts. Post Malone now boasts six No. 1 singles on the Hot 100, including "Rockstar" featuring 21 Savage, "Psycho" with Ty Dolla $ign, "Sunflower" with Swae Lee, "Circles," and this year's "Fortnight" and "I Had Some Help." Meanwhile, Morgan Wallen's influence is also evident as his 2023 album One Thing at a Time climbs back to No. 3 on the Billboard 200, and his 2021 album Dangerous: The Double Album sits at No. 5. This trend underscores the genre's growing crossover appeal and the impressive versatility of artists like Post Malone in bridging musical styles.
