Post Malone Scores Second No. 1 Single of the Year with "I Had Some Help" Featuring Morgan Wallen.

Post Malone is enjoying continued success. His second No. 1 single of the year, "I Had Some Help," a duet with Morgan Wallen, topped the latest Billboard Hot 100 chart. Earlier in the year, he reached the No. 1 spot with "Fortnight," a collaboration with Taylor Swift from her album "The Tortured Poets Department," which is still performing well at No. 8 on the singles list this week.

Wallen and Malone had been hinting at a collaboration for the past month. Finally, "I Had Some Help" premiered during Wallen's headlining performance at the Stagecoach festival. The country-pop anthem opened with 76.4 million streams, surpassing "Fortnight" for the most single-week streams this year, according to research firm Luminate.

"I Had Some Help" is the second country song to top the Hot 100 this year, following Beyoncé's "Texas Hold' Em." It displaced last week's chart leader, Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us," which drops to No. 2, while Tommy Richman's "Million Dollar Baby" moves to No. 3 after holding the No. 2 spot for two consecutive weeks.

Other new faces on the Hot 100 include Shaboozey's "Bar Song (Tipsy)" at No. 4 and Benson Boone's "Beautiful Things" at No. 5. Boone recently performed "Beautiful Things" with Lana Del Rey at Alabama's Hangout Music Festival. Teddy Swims' "Lose Control," which topped the chart in March, remains a fan favorite at No. 6. Future, Metro Boomin, and Lamar's "Like That" is at No. 7, Sabrina Carpenter's "Espresso" is at No. 9, and Hozier's "Too Sweet" rounds out the Top 10.

On the album chart, Taylor Swift's "The Tortured Poets Department" marks one month at No. 1 with 260,000 units sold. Gunna's latest album, "One of Wun," debuts at No. 2 with 91,000 equivalent album units. Wallen's 2023 album "One Thing at a Time" re-enters the top five at No. 3 with 75,000 units, while his 2021 album "Dangerous: The Double Album" lifts to No. 5, likely bolstered by the success of his duet with Post Malone.

Future and Metro Boomin's "We Don't Trust You" holds steady at No. 4. Noah Kahan's "Stick Season" is at No. 6, SZA's "SOS" rises to No. 7, Zach Bryan's self-titled LP moves up to No. 8, Benson Boone's "Fireworks & Rollerblades" climbs to No. 9, and Beyoncé's "Cowboy Carter" rounds out the Top 10.
