Morgan Wallen and Post Malone have the biggest new song in America at the beginning of this tracking week, and there wasn't much competition. The two superstars' latest joint single, 'I Ain't Coming Back,' is off to an amazing start, and if early signs are any indication, the cut could be headed for a massive debut on the Billboard charts in just a few days. As it rockets to the top of the iTunes ranking and gives Wallen another win in an already-packed release cycle, 'I Ain't Coming Back' is shaping up to be a smash.
'I Ain't Coming Back' wasted no time in racing up iTunes' ranking of the bestselling songs in the U.S. Shortly after its arrival, the track soared to No. 1 on the platform's Top Songs chart, where it currently rules as of the time of writing.
The new arrival – a collaboration with Malone – gives Wallen control over the top two spots on the list. His solo cut 'I'm the Problem' is sitting comfortably in second place, weeks after it was first unveiled.
While 'I Ain't Coming Back' and 'I'm the Problem' are clearly the main attractions at the moment, Wallen is dominating the iTunes chart with more than just his two newest releases. A trio of tunes from his forthcoming project all live inside the highest tier as well, giving him control over half of the spots in the top 10 – and on a Friday, when competition should be at its toughest with a slew of new arrivals.
In addition to both 'I Ain't Coming Back' and 'I'm the Problem,' Wallen's songs 'Just In Case,' 'I'm a Little Crazy,' and 'Love Somebody' all appear in the uppermost region as well, settling at Nos. 4, 6, and 10, respectively.
'I Ain't Coming Back' serves as the sixth official single from Wallen's upcoming full-length I'm the Problem, which is expected to arrive next month. If it debuts inside the top 10 on the Hot 100 — as early sales data suggests it might — it will join a string of recent hits that have already made the upcoming release one of the year's most anticipated.
The five previously dropped focus tracks — 'Lies Lies Lies,' 'Love Somebody,' 'Smile,' 'I'm the Problem,' and 'Just in Case' — have all reached the top 10 on the Hot 100. Of that group, 'Love Somebody' remains the only one to hit No. 1, though 'I'm the Problem' came just one space shy of the summit.
This isn't the first time Malone and Wallen have joined forces — and the last time they did, it paid off brilliantly. In 2024, Malone tapped Wallen for the twangy crossover hit 'I Had Some Help,' which opened at No. 1 on the Hot 100 and ultimately finished as one of the year's biggest singles.
Now, the pair could be on track to replicate that success, or at least come close. A top 10 debut on the Hot 100 seems almost inevitable for 'I Ain't Coming Back,' and a No. 1 launch isn't out of the question either.

Lorde Calls Charli xcx, Chappell Roan & Gracie Abrams on Live Radio & Catches One of Them Mid-Hangover
Lorde was on the air with BBC Radio 1 recently — and unbeknownst at first to Gracie Abrams, Charli xcx and Chappell Roan, they were, too. In a TikTok clip posted Wednesday (June 11), the New Zealand native played a hilarious game of 'Sitting or Standing' on the English radio station, during which she was tasked with guessing whether a few of the famous friends in her contact list were on their feet or seated at that very moment before calling to check. Starting with the 'That's So True' singer, Lorde incorrectly bet that she would be sitting. More from Billboard Everything We Know About Lorde's 'Virgin' So Far DJ Akademiks Denies Taking Payola From Drake During Kendrick Battle Raekwon and Ghostface Killah Release Trailer for 'Only Built 4 Cuban Linx' Documentary 'I'm standing, should I sit?' a confused-sounding Abrams answered after picking up the phone, sweetly adding, 'I love you.' The Auckland native was 0 for 2 when she also guessed that the 'Pink Pony Club' artist would be sitting down. 'I'm so sorry, I'm on Radio 1, I'm doing this horrible show where they make me ask this ridiculous question,' a playfully frustrated Lorde explained to Roan after hearing her answer, to which the perplexed latter asked, 'Wait, so is this on the radio?' When it came time to call Charli, the 'Von Dutch' singer was immediately suspicious as Lorde asked whether she was sitting or standing. 'What is happening?' she said warily. 'I'm lying down.' 'I'm so hungover,' Charli drawled as the 'Royals' singer laughed. 'Oh, hi everyone. I can't believe I'm on the radio like this.' 'You're perfect,' Lorde responded. 'Keep lying down, I love you. I owe you.' The two-time Grammy winner has strong friendships with all three of the artists she called. In her April Billboard cover story, Abrams gushed that her pal is 'like 800 years old inside … whenever we're together, I feel my nervous system regulate differently,' while Roan said last year that Lorde reached out and gave her a list of advice for handling the 'abusive' elements of fame. Lorde's relationship with Charli has been a little bumpier, with the two women going through a rough patch before publicly resolving their issues on the 'Girl, So Confusing' remix supporting Charli's Brat album. They would later team up to perform the track during Charli's Coachella set earlier this year. The 'Green Light' artist is now gearing up to drop an LP titled Virgin on June 27, marking her first full-length in four years. So far, she's shared two singles from the project: 'What Was That' and 'Man of the Year,' which has recently been taking flight on TikTok thanks to a trend that finds users posting screenshots of toxic messages sent by ex-boyfriends. Also on Monday, Lorde hilariously reacted to the trend by posting a video of herself widening her eyes and shaking her head in disappointment. 'These messages…….,' she wrote in her caption.

Ananda Lewis, who had a celebrated run on MTV as a veejay and as the host of shows including Total Request Live and Hot Zone, has died at age 52. News of Lewis' death was confirmed in a Facebook post by her sister, Lakshmi Emory. In 2020, Lewis revealed that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer, saying that she had long avoided mammograms and urged early testing. More from Billboard DJ Akademiks Denies Taking Payola From Drake During Kendrick Battle Raekwon and Ghostface Killah Release Trailer for 'Only Built 4 Cuban Linx' Documentary SEVENTEEN Have a Good Time Being a 'Bad Influence' in Futuristic Video For Pharrell-Produced Single Her last post to Instagram was in February, when she wrote that 'prevention is the cure. If you're in a healthy body, you're holding a winning lotto ticket. PLEASE learn how to avoid cancer. Because you still can.' Lewis is survived by her son, Langston, who is 14. Born in Los Angeles, Lewis attended Howard University and then came to cultural prominence in the late '90s as an MTV veejay. After joining the network in 1997, she hosted programs including the countdown show Total Request Live and Hot Zone, which featured music videos and Lewis' artist interviews. The network also called upon Lewis to host specials on school violence after the 1999 Columbine shooting along with a tribute program following the 2001 death of Aaliyah. Lewis launched The Ananda Lewis Show in 2001 and later served as a correspondent on Entertainment Tonight spin-off The Insider, eventually leaving that project to pursue carpentry. Her final project was as the host of TLC's While You Were Out. On social media, fellow former MTV veejay Dave Holmes remembered Lewis writing 'Well, this is awful. Ananda Lewis has died. She was the best: friendly funny kind clever cool committed passionate patient stylish and smart. If you were working with her, you knew you'd be having fun, and you'd want to step your game up to match her effortless charisma. You couldn't, but the trying made you better. We bonded over our shared love of this song, it has reminded me of her ever since, and now it always will. All my love to her family.'

'A lot of kids grew up, parents used drugs and parents in jail and all that — the fact that I had my father, a real leader in my household, and working and always kept me focused on the right things,' Joe said of his relationship with his father. 'Kiss reflected on the importance of helping reintegrate those who were incarcerated back into productive members of society. 'Just hitting that switch to let them know that they can come back and get right due to whatever hardships they went through,' Jada said. 'There's some hope now when you come back to get readjusted. Hopefully change your financial situation.' Joe also implored fathers who have fractured relationships with their kids to reconnect. 'Reconnect with your kids because sometimes kids can get bitter their parents were away in jail,' Joe added. 'You gotta find that bond. It's always there, but you gotta find that red tape to get in sync.' He continued: 'Start now. Forget if you messed up the last 10, 20, 30 years. Start now to be a productive father and get your relationship with your kids. … On New Year's everyone want to lose weight; I think Father's Day should be an adjustment with you and your kids.' Joe and Jadakiss hosted the event in collaboration with Sei Less co-founder Dara Mirjahangiry and the REFORM Alliance, ensuring that this Father's Day these families had something to celebrate. 'Working with Fat Joe, Jadakiss and REFORM to celebrate these fathers at Sei Less was truly special,' Mirjahangiry said. 'Ahead of Father's Day, we really wanted to shine a light on these fathers who have been impacted by the criminal justice system and support their re-entry journey with compassion. It was a powerful way to bond through culture, community and cuisine.'
