Post Malone Claims A New Longest-Charting Hit
Post Malone's 'I Had Some Help' with Morgan Wallen becomes his longest-charting Hot 100 hit at 62 ... More weeks, passing 'Circles' by one frame. LONDON, ENGLAND - JULY 06: (EDITORIAL USE ONLY) Post Malone performs during Wireless Festival 2018 at Finsbury Park on July 6th, 2018 in London, England. (Photo by Lorne Thomson/Redferns) For years, Post Malone found incredible success in the music industry by switching genres. He first emerged as an exciting new name in the hip-hop space, collecting multiple diamond-certified smashes. He then pivoted again and conquered the charts once more with pop hits that are still played on the radio today. Most artists struggle to score several wins in one field, let alone several, but the Grammy nominee is an outlier, as he's not afraid to mix things up, and his fan base is along for the ride. His biggest hit of all – one which reaches an important number this week – is the one that helped him jump into the country space, which made quite the splash upon its arrival. "I Had Some Help" Becomes Post Malone's Biggest Hot 100 Hit When Malone was preparing to release his first country album F-1 Trillion, he fronted the project with a superstar collaboration alongside Morgan Wallen. Malone dropped "I Had Some Help" in mid-2024, and the tune was an immediate smash. That track now becomes Malone's longest-running hit on the Hot 100 as it earns its sixty-second stay on the tally. "I Had Some Help" Beats 'Circles' "I Had Some Help" was tied last week as Malone's longest-charting Hot 100 single, matching "Circles" with 61 frames on the list. Now, the duet pushes past the pop favorite, and it's not likely to disappear anytime soon. "I Had Some Help" is still present inside the top 20 on the Hot 100 this week, dipping from No. 14 to No. 19. The tune could rebound, after several newer arrivals begin to descend or disappear entirely, and it seems likely that the collaboration will further its lead over Malone's own "Circles" and continue its reign as his longest-running hit for some time. Morgan Wallen Nearly Matches the Same Feat The same single is also tied as Wallen's longest-charting Hot 100 success story, matching the 62 weeks that "You Proof" managed a few years back. In just a few days, when Billboard publishes its rankings again, it's likely that Wallen will see "I Had Some Help" beat "You Proof" for good.

England women PLAYER RATINGS as Lionesses win Euro 2025 with final shootout
ENGLAND 1-1 SPAIN (3-1 Pens): The Lionesses have retained their European crown, outlasting the world champions and winning Euro 2025 to make it back-to-back titles - and three-in-a-row for Sarina Wiegman The Lionesses are European champions again. Sarina Wiegman's side have retained their title, beating world champs Spain 3-1 on penalties after a 1-1 draw in Switzerland. Substitute Chloe Kelly fired in the winning penalty after three Spanish misses - two of which were saved by Hannah Hampton. The Lionesses came back twice to reach the decider in Basel and book this revenge mission against the same side who beat them at the 2023 World Cup in Sydney. The fell behind to Mariona Caldentey in the 25th minute, only for her Arsenal team-mate Alessia Russo to head home an equaliser in the second half after Kelly's fine cross. Here are player ratings from Basel... Hannah Hampton - 9 Big stops to deny Gonzalez and Pina but didn't have a chance with Caldentey's header. Came into her own in the shoot-out to become a bona-fide Lionesses hero. Lucy Bronze - 5 Couldn't get near her forward for Spain's opener and lost her edge later after a yellow card. Leah Williamson - 8 Distribution from the back was always going to be a factor and she helped relieve pressure when needed. Jess Carter - 8 One important block in the first half along with one nervy moment which went unpunished, but was excellent in extra-time. Alex Greenwood - 6 Some sharp moments from an attacking standpoint, got better defensively as game progressed. Keira Walsh - 7 Always England's calmest player on the ball but struggled to snuff out Spain's midfield threat. Georgia Stanway - 6 Faced a tough midfield battle but fought well and played her part in build-up to the equaliser. Wasn't herself on and off the ball and injury brought an early end to her day before half-time. Ella Toone - 6 Did what she could to press from the front but had few opportunities on the ball. Lauren Hemp - 7 So close to an opener after fashioning a chance all by herself and helped neutralise Carmona's attacking threat. Alessia Russo - 8 Selfless running was key, unlucky not to put England in front early on and deserved her goal, before surprisingly being substituted. Substitutes: Kelly for James, 41, 8 - The difference-maker again. Assist for Russo, then the match-winning penalty. Agyemang for Russo, 71 6 - No goal from the bench this time but offered strong focal point. Mead for Toone, 87 6 - Big block to deny Bonmati but missed from penalty retake after double-kicking first attempt. Charles for Bronze, 105 7: Confidently tucked away England's second spot-kick in shoot-out.

Tom Aspinall becomes heavyweight champion after beating Curtis Blaydes during the Heavyweight bout ... More at the Co-op Live Arena, Manchester. Picture date: Sunday July 28, 2024. (Photo by Richard Sellers/PA Images via Getty Images) UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall gets his first official title defense on October 25 when he faces former interim champ Ciryl Gane in the main event of the UFC 321 pay-per-view fight card from Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi. We look at the opening betting odds for Aspinall vs. Gane UFC 321 Fight Card Main Event: Tom Aspinall Vs. Ciryl Gane Opening Betting Odds And Line Movement Not long after UFC CEO Dana White announced the UFC 321 main event, BetOnline came out with betting lines for the fight. Aspinall opened as the -350 betting favorite over Gane, who opened as the +285 betting underdog. Less than 24 hours since White announced the matchup, Aspinall has moved to -400, while Gane is now +300. UFC 321 Fight Card Main Event: Tom Aspinall Vs. Ciryl Gane MANCHESTER, ENGLAND - JULY 27: Tom Aspinall of England reacts after his knockout victory against ... More Curtis Blaydes in the interim UFC heavyweight championship bout during the UFC 304 event at Co-op Live on July 27, 2024 in Manchester, England. (Photo by Chris Unger/Zuffa LLC via Getty Images) Tom Aspinall (15-3) had a 7-2 professional MMA record when the UFC inked him to a deal in 2020. Aspinall made his promotional debut in July 2020 with a 45-second knockout win over Jake Collier. The win earned the then 27-year-old his first 'Performance of the Night' bonus. A knockout win over Alan Baudot followed in October of that year. Aspinall made it three stoppages in a row in February 2021 when he tapped Andrei Arlovski in the second round of their matchup, a card that was headlined by Curtis Blaydes losing to Derrick Lewis by second-round KO. Aspinall's win over Arlovski broke him into the rankings at No. 13. First-round stoppage wins over Serghei Spivac (TKO) and Alexander Volkov (submission) followed the Arlovski triumph. The Blaydes matchup was next on Aspinall's schedule. The injury he suffered in that contest kept him out of action until July 2023 when he stepped into the Octagon to face Marcin Tybura. Aspinall showed no hesitation or ill effects from his knee injury, as he dispatched Tybura in 73 seconds, winning the fight by TKO. Then, with UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones injured and out of his scheduled UFC 295 matchup against Stipe Miocic, the UFC tapped Aspinall and Sergei Pavlovich to face off for the interim heavyweight title at UFC 295. Aspinall won the bout, and the title, with a 69-second knockout. Aspinall defended the interim crown once, defeating Curtis Blaydes via knockout at the 1:00 mark of Round 1 of their UFC 304 matchup. Now 32, Aspinall has seven first-round stoppage wins and one second-round stoppage victory under the UFC banner. He has never gone past 1:09 of the second round in UFC action. Aspinall has earned seven 'Performance of the Night' bonuses during his UFC run. The only win he has where he failed to pick up a post-fight bonus was his win over Baudot in 2020. LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - DECEMBER 07: Ciryl Gane of France looks on before a heavyweight bout against ... More Alexander Volkov of Russia during the UFC 310 event at T-Mobile Arena on December 07, 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC) Ciryl Gane (13-2) is the No. 1 fighter in the official UFC heavyweight rankings. The 35-year-old French competitor has only lost in UFC title fights, falling to Francis Ngannou by decision in 2022 for the undisputed title, and losing to Jon Jones via submission in 2023 for the vacant belt. Gane did capture the interim heavyweight belt in 2021 with a knockout of Derrick Lewis. Gane debuted with the UFC in 2019 following a Muay Thai career. He was 3-0 in MMA when he first fought inside the Octagon. Gane went 7-0 to begin his UFC career. His first loss came in a title unification bout against Ngannou. Gane enters UFC 321 on a two-fight winning streak. He defeated Serghei Spivac by TKO in September 2023. In his most recent trip to the Octagon, Gane bested Alexander Volkov via decision at UFC 310. Tom Aspinall Named UFC Heavyweight Champ LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - MARCH 08: UFC CEO Dana White holds a press conference after the UFC 313 event at ... More T-Mobile Arena on March 08, 2025 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Chris Unger/Zuffa LLC) In June, then-UFC heavyweight champ Jon Jones retired. The UFC named Aspinall the undisputed champion at that time. "Jon Jones called us last night and retired. Jon Jones is officially retired. Tom Aspinall is the heavyweight champion of the UFC," White said during the post-fight press conference following the UFC Baku fight card. "I obviously feel bad for Tom that he lost all that time and money, but we'll make it up to him," White added. "Tom Aspinall is a good guy. He's been incredible through this whole process that we've gone through. He's been willing to do anything – fight him anywhere at any time and do this. Now he's like, 'I'll fight anybody. Tell me who and I'll fight him.' Aspinall has been great. He's going to be a great heavyweight champion for us and I'm excited to work with him." "International Fight Week starts Monday in Las Vegas," White continued. 'Tom will be in Vegas all week with us, so we'll get together with him and figure out what's next.' Tom Aspinall Was The Longest Serving UFC Interim Champion LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - APRIL 13: UFC interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall attends the UFC 300 ... More event at T-Mobile Arena on April 13, 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Chris Unger/Zuffa LLC via Getty Images) Aspinall won the interim UFC heavyweight crown in November 2023 with a knockout victory over Sergei Pavlovich at UFC 295. Aspinall took that fight on short notice when the original main event for that card, Jon Jones vs. Stipe Miocic for Jones's heavyweight title was scrapped following an injury to Jones. Despite Aspinall winning the interim crown, UFC CEO Dana White remained steadfast in saying that Jones vs. Miocic was the fight to make. That fight did not take place until November 2024. Jones held on to his belt that night, beating Miocic by TKO in the third round. By that time, Aspinall had already defended his interim crown, scoring a first-round knockout win over Curtis Blaydes at UFC 304 in July 2024. Aspinall, who has not fought since he defeated Blaydes, had been waiting for the title unification bout with Jones since Jones's win over Miocic in November. In late April, Aspinall became the longest-serving UFC interim champion, topping the 535-day reign of Renan Barao, who defended his interim title twice before being named undisputed champion. UFC 321 Official Fights Tom Aspinall vs. Ciryl Gane: For Aspinall's UFC heavyweight title Alexander Volkov vs. Jailton Almeida: Heavyweight Aleksander Rakic vs. Azamat Murzakanov: Light Heavyweight Hamdy Abdelwahab vs. Chris Barnett: Heavyweight Ikram Aliskerov vs. Junyong Park: Middleweight Azat Maksum vs. Mitch Raposo We will have more on UFC 321, including opening betting odds for the co-main event when that fight is made official.

A look at the last five meetings between Euro 2025 finalists England and Spain
Here, the PA news agency goes through the last five meetings between the two sides. ENGLAND 0-0 SPAIN – FEBRUARY 2022 England's wait for an Arnold Clark Cup win went on following a goalless draw (Joe Giddens/PA) England maintained their unbeaten run under Sarina Wiegman with a goalless draw with Spain at Carrow Road. The Lionesses' wait for a first Arnold Clark Cup win went on after they hit a post through substitute Lauren Hemp while Jordan Nobbs and all-time top scorer Ellen White were also denied. ENGLAND 2-1 SPAIN – JULY 2022 England booked their place in the semi-finals of the European Women's Championship after coming from behind to beat the pre-tournament favourites in extra time in Brighton. Ella Toone stepped off the bench and volleyed in the equaliser in the 84th minute after Esther Gonzalez gave Spain the lead but they continued to probe for a winner before extra time. England managed to shift the momentum in extra time and made the pressure count just six minutes into the additional 30 courtesy of Georgia Stanway's screamer which lifted the roof off the Amex Stadium. The Lionesses secured a semi-final clash with Sweden and went on to win the tournament. SPAIN 1-0 ENGLAND – AUGUST 2023 Carmona struck to give Spain victory in the World Cup final (Zac Goodwin/PA) In the biggest meeting in the history of the two sides, Spain broke England hearts the last time the two teams played in a final at the 2023 World Cup in Australia. Spain's Olga Carmona slotted the all-important winner past goalkeeper Mary Earps in the first half after Lucy Bronze had given away possession in midfield. Spain had a chance to double their advantage after Keira Walsh handled inside the area but Earps saved Jennifer Hermoso's penalty with 20 minutes to go of the contest in a timely boost for England. England piled on the pressure late on but were unable to find the equaliser and England will be looking to gain revenge in another final this time around. ENGLAND 1-0 SPAIN – FEBRUARY 2025 England avenged their World Cup final defeat 18 months later with a 1-0 victory at Wembley Stadium. It was the first time the two teams had met since Spain beat England in the 2023 Women's World Cup final and Jess Park struck in the first half after she put in the rebound from Alessia Russo's initial strike. Spain had chances through Ballon d'Or winner Aitana Bonmati, Claudia Pina and Lucia Garcia but England held firm to deliver their revenge. SPAIN 2-1 ENGLAND – JUNE 2025 Claudia Pina scored twice for Spain in their latest win over England (Nick Potts/PA) The two sides met just over a month ago as Claudia Pina's brace helped Spain come from behind to earn a 2-1 win over England in Barcelona and deny them a place in the Nations League finals. Spain were dominant throughout the early stages but Russo gave England a lead against the run of play when she latched onto Walsh's pass and slotted beyond Cata Coll. England were on course for the finals until Pina was introduced and she made her mark with an equaliser just two minutes after coming on. The 23-year-old Barcelona striker then completed the turnaround 10 minutes later with a sensational strike from 25 yards which handed Spain a deserved win which will be fresh in the mind when the teams line up on Sunday evening.
