By the time he decided to pivot into country music, Post Malone already boasted a discography filled with huge hits. He first made his name around the world as a purveyor of radio-friendly hip-hop tunes, but then he moved into pure pop and even experimented with rock and alternative sounds.
After months of teasing that country music was on its way, he dropped "I Had Some Help," a collaboration with Morgan Wallen. The track turned out to be not just a hit, but a career-defining smash for the multigenre musician. As his duet partner launches his new album I'm the Problem, which is currently topping charts around the world, "I Had Some Help" not only remains a commercial success in the United Kingdom, but it also brings both musicians to a very special milestone.
"I Had Some Help" is still present on the Official Singles chart at the moment. It drops a little more than 10 spaces on the competitive tally, dipping to No. 88, as it reaches 52 weeks on the roster.
Malone earns his second year-long charting smash, as "I Had Some Help" hits 52 frames on the list of the most consumed songs in the U.K. He previously saw "Sunflower," a collaboration with Swae Lee, spend 68 frames somewhere on the 100-spot tally.
Wallen earns his first one-year winner on the Official Singles chart. Only two of his other hits — "Last Night" and "Love Somebody" — have managed even double-digit stays on the ranking. "Last Night" is his second longest-charting single with 18 weeks on the roster, while "Love Somebody" is up to an even dozen.
"I Had Some Help" is present on four charts in the U.K., and amazingly, it has spent the least amount of time among them on the Official Singles ranking. The collaboration fares just one frame better on the Official Streaming list, while it has spent 54 frames on both the Official Singles Sales and Official Singles Downloads rosters.
Wallen claims four spaces on the Official Singles chart this week. Usually, the Official Charts Company only allows every musician a trio of hits at one time, but in his case, he serves as the lead artist on three of them, as they are all taken from his new album, while he's a featured act on "I Had Some Help." Two tunes from his latest full-length debut, as "What I Want" with Tate McRae and "Just in Case" open at No. 32 and No. 75, respectively. At the same time, the title track reenters at No. 79.

Beloved '80s Musician Makes Rare Statement About Future Career 'Plans'
Beloved '80s Musician Makes Rare Statement About Future Career 'Plans' originally appeared on Parade. has become revered as one of the most influential music stars since her '80s debut, but for the most part, she has kept an extremely low profile in recent years. Following the 37th anniversary of her legendary track "Fast Car," which was released in April 1988 and re-issued on vinyl last month in honor of the milestone, the singer/songwriter offered up rare comments about her future career plans—and despite her enduring influence, it likely doesn't come as a huge surprise for loyal fans. 'I'm still on a break,' she told the German press, per US Weekly. 'I have no plans to go on tour, and I have no plans to go into the studio. Who knows what might happen, but right now, there are no plans.' 🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬 She does, however, seemingly still keep music creation at top of mind, revealing in a separate interview that if she was to set off on tour again, it would be linked to a brand new project vs. solely her past hits (though iconic). 'If I were to tour, I would tour for something new, new material, and in that process, I would, of course, play these songs, too,' she explained to Billboard. 'But that would be the thing that would be most interesting to me at this point. And that's always the case. Whenever someone asks, 'What's your favorite song?' It's always the one I'm writing at the time. I said it before, but maybe no one believed it, that I'm always playing and I'm always writing songs. I've been doing it since I was 8 years old. It's just part of my DNA. It's part of who I am.' The rarely-seen star has become known for leading an ultra-private life largely away from the spotlight, and only popping back into the public eye for occasional performances. At the 2024 Grammy Awards, she delighted with a poignant duet with Luke Combs that nearly brought fans to tears. Chapman's last project, Our Bright Future, was released in 2008.

Review: Kendrick Lamar, SZA bring ‘Grand National Tour' to SF
(KRON) – Kendrick Lamar and SZA gave Oracle Park a performance so electrifying San Franciscans didn't cringe when the headliners referred to the city as 'San Fran'– multiple times. The duo brought their 'Grand National Tour' to SF on Thursday night. Switching off sets, K. Dot (Lamar) and the songstress gave a great balance of both catalogs. The show commenced with a video of the artists on a 1987 Buick GNX, followed by the first track of Lamar's latest album 'GNX' 'Wacced out Murals.' Much of the audience wasn't as familiar with Lamar's records that were not distributed on the radio, but knew most of the lyrics to Mr. Morale's latest album. A Salt Lake City resident told that he and his wife were watching this year's Super Bowl Halftime Show and said, 'We have to see this guy.' The stage artwork and visuals for both artists were intricate and detailed. From hilarious skits of being interviewed with questions about their biggest personal and professional criticisms, to home videos dating back more than 30 years and a glimpse of Mr. Morale's hometown, the visuals were intimate, but told a story. Shakira, Jason Aldean concerts canceled at Boston's Fenway Park over 'structural' issue Despite both SZA and Lamar having completely different album concepts, the overlap of the skits was coherent. The best word to describe SZA's stage set and performance was whimsical. The stage was decked with plants, bugs and fairies. She even straddled a giant fake bug while singing. The songstress performed one of former President Barack Obama's favorite melodies, 'Broken Clocks,' along with her Grammy Award-winning duet with Doja Cat, 'Kiss Me More,' and many more of her hits. 'This arena feels different,' SZA said to the viewers, '… Or is it that San Fran feels different?' The question made the audience cheer louder. The audience's memories quickly transformed from memories of being scorned into thoughts of being madly in love as SZA switched ballads from 'Kill Bill' to 'Snooze.' Her 2022 'SOS' album returned to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart this year, reigning for 13 weeks. Fellow Los Angeles native DJ Mustard joined Lamar on stage for 'TV Off,' where the crowd roared, 'Mustard,' which was almost louder than spectators singing 'a minor' from 'Not Like Us.' Even though the crowd was loudest at those moments, the highlight of the night was the duo performing 'All the Stars.' Fans from atop beamed their lights in unison, illuminating the ballpark. The second-to-last performed song, 'Luther,' was just dethroned as the top song on Billboard, but it hogged the top spot for 13 weeks. 'Gloria' was the final song of the night. The show closed with the two getting back in the boxed old-school Buick and saying goodbye to San Francisco. Las Vegas is the next stop of the tour on Saturday, May 31.
