Benson Boone's Smash Single Keeps On Rising To New Peaks
Just last week, Benson Boone's sophomore album American Heart debuted on the Billboard charts. In most cases, the full-length brought the pop singer-songwriter to new heights, coming within one spot of the throne on the Billboard 200.
As is often the case with new releases, American Heart has started to fall in its second frame on the tallies, but one track from the set continues to rise, as a single from American Heart reaches a new peak on more than half of the Billboard rankings where it appears this week.
'Mystical Magical' Continues its Hot 100 Ascent
'Mystical Magical,' selected as the second single from American Heart, was released in April, several months before the full-length dropped. Since then, the tune has become one of Boone's most successful tracks. Months into its lifespan, the cut continues to climb across a variety of consumption metrics, as Americans seem to be steadily discovering — and falling in love with — the track.
This week, 'Mystical Magical' reaches No. 17 on the Hot 100. That's a new all-time best showing for the composition on the list of the most popular songs in the U.S.
Benson Boone's Second-Highest-Rising Hot 100 Hit
'Mystical Magical' now stands as Boone's second-highest-charting title on the Hot 100, as it leaps from No. 21 to No. 17. The track passes 'Sorry I'm Here for Someone Else' for that honor, as that single peaked at No. 19. His biggest win remains "Beautiful Things,' which missed No. 1 by just one space – and which continues to outpace even his newer releases.
A Huge Sales Spike
Purchases of 'Mystical Magical' are playing a large role in its ascent on the Hot 100. From one frame to the next, sales of the tune grew by 48%, according to Luminate. In the past tracking span, 'Mystical Magical' sold just under 2,600 copies — nearly 1,000 more than the 1,700-plus it moved the period prior.
This week, 'Mystical Magical' jumps from No. 21 to No. 7 on the Digital Song Sales chart. That's also a new peak for the track, which had previously topped out at No. 9.
Benson Boone Soars on Pop Radio with 'Mystical Magical'
Boone's single also lifts to never-before-seen high points on two radio rankings. 'Mystical Magical' flies from No. 29 to No. 20 on the Adult Pop Airplay chart, and from No. 27 to No. 22 on the Pop Airplay list. As sales of the American Heart single grow, it seems that programmers and DJs across the country are also continuing to show their support for Boone's cut.

Stephen Colbert Gets a Visit From Jimmy Fallon, Jon Stewart and More Late Night Hosts After Cancellation — Watch
TV's late night hosts sure do stick together. On Monday's episode of CBS' The Late Show — the first since host Stephen Colbert revealed his show was being cancelled — Colbert got a quick visit from four of his fellow late night hosts: The Tonight Show's Jimmy Fallon, The Daily Show's Jon Stewart, Late Night's Seth Meyers and Last Week Tonight's John Oliver. More from TVLine Jon Stewart Rages Against Late Show With Stephen Colbert Cancellation, Declares: 'I'm Not Going Anywhere' Happy Face Cancelled at Paramount+ Outlander Spinoff Cast on Why Blood of My Blood Makes Claire's Journey in the Original Series Even More 'Tragic' In a parody of last week's viral Coldplay concert moment, Colbert brought out 'Weird Al' Yankovic and Lin-Manuel Miranda to sing Coldplay's 'Vida la Vida' while the camera panned around the audience. The camera stopped on a few fans before landing on CNN's Anderson Cooper and Bravo's Andy Cohen; Fallon and Meyers; Adam Sandler and his Happy Gilmore 2 co-star Christopher McDonald; and Stewart and Oliver. After the camera stopped on a cartoon of President Donald Trump cuddling the Paramount logo and then discarding it, though, Colbert had to halt the tune, informing Yankovic and Miranda: 'Your song has been cancelled.' An animated "Donald Trump" was caught embracing Paramount during a Coldplay song on 'The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.' — (@TVLine) July 22, 2025 During his monologue, Colbert offered a profane response to Trump's gleeful reaction to the cancellation, turning to a fancy Eloquence Cam and bluntly telling the commander-in-chief: 'Go f–k yourself.' He also threw cold water on Trump's prediction that Jimmy Kimmel would be next, declaring: 'I am the martyr, OK? There's only room for one on this cross, and I gotta tell you: The view is fantastic from up here!' The cancellation of The Late Show was 'purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night,' CBS said in a statement last week. 'It is not related in any way to the show's performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount.' Many in the industry, however, point to Colbert's strong criticism of Trump, along with CBS' parent company Paramount agreeing to pay Trump $16 million to settle a lawsuit related to 60 Minutes, as Paramount awaits FCC approval of its merger with Skydance Media. Colbert announced the cancellation on Thursday's episode, telling the studio audience: 'Next year will be our last season. The network will be ending The Late Show in May.' The audience, of course, loudly booed this news, and Colbert wryly replied, 'Yeah, I share your feelings.' Many others shared their feelings as well: Kimmel, host of ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live!, posted on Instagram, 'Love you Stephen. F–k you and all your Sheldons CBS.' Fallon also offered Colbert support: 'Stephen is one of the sharpest, funniest hosts to ever do it. I really thought I'd ride this out with him for years to come.' Meyers added that 'for as great a comedian and host he is, [Colbert] is an even better person,' and Oliver offered: 'I love Stephen, I love his staff. I love that show. It's incredibly sad… It's terrible, terrible news for the world of comedy.' Best of TVLine 'Missing' Shows, Found!

Jon Stewart blasts CBS for canceling Colbert's show, calls it 'path of least resistance' for corporate merger
"The Daily Show" host Jon Stewart lambasted CBS on Monday over its decision to cancel "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," dismissing the claim that it was a financial decision and not meant to appease President Donald Trump. "Obviously, I am certainly not the most objective to comment on this matter," Stewart conceded before revisiting Colbert's late-night rise on Comedy Central on "The Daily Show" and "The Colbert Report," before singing his praises at CBS. "Watching Stephen exceed all expectations in the role and become the number one late-night show on network television has been an undeniable great pleasure for me as a viewer and as his friend, and now Stephen has been canceled for 'purely financial reasons,' Stewart said while casting doubt on the network's claim. Comedy Central and CBS are sister networks under the Paramount umbrella. Stewart acknowledged late-night TV broadly is struggling financially, but stressed that "when your industry is faced with changes, you don't just call it a day." "The fact that CBS didn't try to save their number one-rated network late-night franchise that's been on the air for over three decades is part of what's making everybody wonder, 'Was this purely financial, or maybe the path of least resistance for your $8 billion merger?'" he asked. "Was killing a show that you know rankled a fragile and vengeful president so insecure, suffering terribly from a case of chronic penis insufficiency," Stewart said. "I believe CBS lost the benefit of the doubt two weeks prior when they sold out their flagship news program to pay an extortion fee to said president." Stewart said he understood making decisions with an $8 billion merger at stake, but grew serious, saying, "The shows that you now seek to cancel, censor and control, a not insignificant portion of that $8 billion value came from those f---ing shows." "That's what made you that money! Shows that say something, shows that take a stand, shows that are unafraid," he said. "We try. We f---ing try every night. And if you believe, as corporations or as networks, you can make yourselves so innocuous, that you can serve a gruel so flavorless that you will never again be on the boy king's radar, why will anyone watch you, and you are f---ing wrong." The Comedy Central host went on to say critics won't find a "smoking gun email or phone call" to answer why Colbert's show was being canceled but that the answer is "in the fear and pre-compliance that is gripping all of America's institutions at this very moment." "This is not the moment to give in. I'm not giving in. I'm not going anywhere, I think," Stewart said, jokingly alluding to how Comedy Central is also owned by CBS' parent company Paramount. "To those institutions, to those corporations and advertisers and universities and law firms, all of them. If you still think that bending the knee to Trump will save you, I have one thing to say… sack the f--- up." Stewart finished his monologue with a gospel choir behind him, preaching to the audience, "If you're afraid and you protect your bottom line, I've got but one thing to say, just one little phrase: go f--- yourself!" CBS shocked the nation with its announcement last week that it would end "The Late Show" in May 2026. Liberal critics accused CBS and Paramount of being politically motivated, but a report from Puck's Matt Belloni showed that Colbert's show was costing the network $40 million a year and that it had been running on a whopping $100 million budget per season. Stewart himself admitted last week he doesn't know this future at Comedy Central under future ownership. Colbert's cancellation comes on the heels of Paramount settling Trump's lawsuit against CBS News over its editing of a "60 Minutes" interview with Kamala Harris last year. Colbert was among the voices who were harshly critical of the move, likening it to paying a bribe with the merger looming and needing administration approval. Meanwhile, Fox News Channel's "Gutfeld!" has surged to become late-night's highest-rated program. In the second quarter of 2025, the show notched 3 million viewers and 365,000 in the 25-54 age demographic at the 10 p.m. ET hour, putting it ahead of "The Late Show," "The Daily Show," and late-night programs ABC and NBC.
