Post Malone Ties His Own Radio Record — And He's About To Beat It
Post Malone first became a musical superstar thanks to the songs he released that fit within the hip-hop genre. He found incredible commercial success right out of the gate, but when it comes to his performance on Billboard's main radio ranking, his longest-running smashes can't be classified as rap. Instead, his biggest pop tune and his first proper country hit are now tied for a special place within his discography.
Malone's collaboration with Morgan Wallen, "I Had Some Help," as well as his solo tune "Circles" have both spent 60 weeks on the Billboard's Radio Songs chart. That tally ranks the singles that rack up the largest number of total audience impressions across all airplay formats in the U.S. It's rare for any track to live on the list for a year or longer, and now Malone has scored a pair of those massive wins.
"Circles" debuted on the Radio Songs chart in September 2019 and reached No. 1 in December. It spent 11 weeks ruling and still stands as Malone's longest-running champion by far.
"I Had Some Help" only held on to the top spot for about half as long — five frames. It launched on the competitive ranking in May 2024 and has not disappeared since.
While "I Had Some Help" is currently matched with "Circles," the two likely won't be tied for very long. Malone's first country win rises to No. 20 on the 50-spot roster, so there's a good chance it will continue to live on this list for several more months. In fact, by the time it's done, "I Had Some Help" may rank as one of the longest-charting tracks in the history of the Radio Songs tally.
"I Had Some Help" is Malone's only current hit on the Radio Songs chart this week, but Wallen fills 10% of all the available spots. Amazingly, "I Had Some Help" is his highest-ranking win, even after more than a year on the roster, as it sits just above both "Just in Case" and "I'm the Problem," which give him a winning streak as they occupy Nos. 21 and 22, respectively. Further down on the ranking, "Love Somebody" dips to No. 44, while "What I Want," Wallen's collaboration with Tate McRae, lifts to a new peak of No. 46 in its second frame on the tally.

Diddy's Son King Combs Celebrates Verdict: ‘Pops Coming Home'
Diddy's son King Combs spoke with the press outside the courthouse after his father was acquitted of three of five charges against him, and he's celebrating the mixed verdict. ABC 7 caught up with him as he celebrated while playing his new song 'Diddy Free' from his recently released EP Never Stop, which is executive produced by Ye (formerly Kanye West), and expressed happiness and gratitude to reporters. 'We love y'all. We love everybody watching. I'm so happy,' Combs said. 'Pops coming home. God bless the whole world.' More from Billboard Diddy Found Not Guilty of Sex Trafficking and Racketeering, Convicted on Prostitution Charge Cassie's Lawyer Calls Diddy's Defense Closing Arguments 'Repugnant' Following Verdict Miss 'Yo Gabba Gabba!' at Coachella? It's OK, You Can Catch Them on Tour This Summer On Wednesday (July 2), Sean 'Diddy' Combs was convicted on two counts of illegal prostitution and is facing a maximum of 20 years, while being acquitted of more serious sex-trafficking and racketeering charges that could've put him behinds bars for 15 years to life, with the jury deliberating for two days after a trial that lasted seven weeks. Diddy was taken into custody on Sept. 16, 2024 and was denied bail after pleading not guilty to charges that included sex trafficking and racketeering. This whole ordeal started when his former girlfriend Cassie Ventura filed a lawsuit claiming that the fallen mogul abused her for years. In a statement to Billboard, her lawyer Douglas H. Wigdor commended her courage for coming forward. 'This entire criminal process started when our client Cassie Ventura had the courage to file her civil complaint in November 2023,' he said. 'Although the jury did not find Combs guilty of sex trafficking Cassie beyond a reasonable doubt, she paved the way for a jury to find him guilty of transportation to engage in prostitution. By coming forward with her experience, Cassie has left an indelible mark on both the entertainment industry and the fight for justice.' Diddy and his attorneys will more than likely file an appeal once his sentence is finalized. For now, he's been denied bail and will remain behind bars until his sentencing.

Max Homa bluntly addresses why he left X: ‘Safe haven for a–holes'
Golfer Max Homa had made a name for himself outside of the golf course on X, where he built up a sizable following, and shocked everyone when he announced earlier this year he was leaving the social media platform. Speaking with reporters at TPC Deere Run ahead of the John Deere Classic, Homa addressed why he stepped away from X and how it's become a 'safe haven for a–holes.' 'The reason for that is just the vitriol you read online. It has become a safe haven for people who are, I think, angry at themselves. It is quite absurd how comfortable people feel writing awful things,' Homa said. Advertisement Max Homa of the United States plays his shot on the 15th hole during a practice round before the John Deere Classic 2025 at TPC Deere Run on July 2, 2025 in Silvis, Illinois. Getty Images 'Twitter or X or whatever is an awful, awful place. It took me a while to catch on to how impactful that can be and how much of a waste of energy. I miss the connection with the fans, but nothing comes without so much hate and anger. There's a lot of love in there, too, but, unfortunately, it gets overwhelmed with one really bad one.' Advertisement Homa, 34, suggested that the encroachment of legal sports gambling could have led to some of the vitriol that has permeated online over the years. 'People say some bad, bad things on the internet. You get people telling you you should die on the internet. It has nothing to do with not connecting. I'd love to keep connecting with people, but I try to do it in person a bit more because I have yet to meet somebody in person who has said anything even remotely mean. 'It's a safe haven for a–holes, for lack of a better term. Sorry, PGA Tour.' Max Homa walks on the eighth green during the second round of the Rocket Mortgage Classic golf tournament. Aaron Doster-Imagn Images Advertisement In March, when Homa had stepped away from the platform, he called X a place 'for the sick' and that he was 'sick' for how much he used X. Homa has struggled recently, missing seven cuts in 16 tournaments this season. He only has one top-25 finish, which came at The Masters.

Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift hit a big ‘turning point' in their relationship
Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are enjoying some downtime after a chaotic year for the pop icon and NFL star. And that has been a big boost for their relationship, one source told People, calling it a 'turning point for their relationship' and that the couple is 'incredibly happy and in sync.' 'There's a calmness and ease to their relationship right now that's been really grounding for Taylor and Travis,' the insider told the outlet. Kelce concluded his 2024 NFL season when the Chiefs fell to the Eagles in the Super Bowl in February after Swift wrapped up her Eras Tour a few months earlier in December, which has made the past few months some of the first time the couple has had to themselves. The two have kept a lower profile during the slower-paced time, though they have started to step out into public view a bit more recently. 3 Taylor Swift celebrates with Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs after defeating the Buffalo Bills 32-29 in the AFC Championship Game at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium on January 26, 2025 in Kansas City, Missouri. Getty Images 'Taylor and Travis are soaking up every minute of this slower season together,' the source said. 'They've been splitting their time between New York, Nashville, and a few quiet getaways, just enjoying each other's company without all the usual chaos. This kind of downtime is rare for both of them, and it's really allowed their bond to deepen.' Last month, Kelce and Swift appeared at Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final in Florida, drawing plenty of eyeballs to the couple as they watched the Panthers and Oilers duke it out. And, less than two weeks ago, the loved-up pair enjoyed a surprise date night in New York as they were seen at the swanky Nolita restaurant Torrisi. 3 Travis Kelce, left, and Taylor Swift react as the Edmonton Oilers and the Florida Panthers play during the first period in Game Four of the 2025 Stanley Cup Final at Amerant Bank Arena on June 12, 2025 in Sunrise, Florida. Getty Images Swift and Kelce have been spotted out at various hot spots around Manhattan and the country since they went public with their relationship in 2023, but the 'guy on the Chiefs' pushed back on any notion that they step out together purely for the attention. 'We're having fun with it, being a couple,' Kelce said during a recent episode of 'Bussin' With The Boys.' 'It gets thrown out there that we're trying to seek attention now and then, and we're just enjoying life, having fun, going to hockey games, kind of introducing her to some more of the sports world that she hasn't really [seen]… [Stanley Cup] was fun, man.' The NFL season is rapidly approaching, and the source told People that Swift was 'really looking forward' to the upcoming season, especially with the past struggles of managing time to see Kelce and traveling for her world tour. 'This fall will be completely different,' the person said. 'It's the first season where she's not constantly flying back and forth or working around an entire touring calendar. 3 Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Mahomes watch a match during the 2024 U.S. Open. Annie Wermiel/NY Post 'The past two seasons were a whirlwind between performing across multiple countries, long flights, and trying to squeeze in alone time together wherever possible.' Swift only appeared at Chiefs games played in Kansas City last season, aside from her presence at the Super Bowl. In 2023, Swift was a large presence during the season and appeared at a number of games on the road, including a game at MetLife Stadium against the Jets on Oct. 1, 2023 in a suit that included stars Sabrina Carpenter, Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Hugh Jackman, Sophie Turner and Shawn Levy.
