Benson Boone's 'Sorry I'm Here for Someone Else' hits No. 30 on the Hot 100, becoming his ... More second-highest-charting single to date.

(Photo byfor MTV) Benson Boone only has a few more weeks before he releases his sophomore album, American Heart. The highly-anticipated project is currently being promoted by two singles, both of which are getting a full push at pop radio in the U.S., and the singer recently dropped a new tune, 'Momma Song,' which may become a hit as well in just a few days. The first two tracks earned lofty debuts upon arrival, and now both "Sorry I'm Here for Someone Else" and its follow-up "A Mystical Magical" are climbing across a number of tallies, including the Hot 100. As they rise, one of them breaks a tie and establishes itself as a real smash in the singer-songwriter's discography. "Sorry I'm Here for Someone Else" lifts two spots on the Hot 100 this week, ascending from No. 32 to No. 30. While a jump of just a pair of positions may not seem important, it's a meaningful one for Boone. The single now stands as his second-highest-rising hit ever on the ranking of the most consumed songs in the U.S. Last week, when "Sorry I'm Here for Someone Else" sat at No. 32, it was tied for that honor with "Slow It Down." That single, featured on his first full-length Fireworks & Rollerblades, stalled at No. 32 in September 2024, and now ranks as his third-highest-rising win. "Sorry I'm Here for Someone Else" gains ground on the Hot 100 thanks largely to its quick adoption at radio. The tune appears on four of Billboard's airplay rosters, and it climbs to new peaks on three of them this frame. The American Heart focus track jumps to No. 20 on the Radio Songs tally, No. 6 on the Adult Pop Airplay list, and it breaks into the top 10 for the first time on the Pop Airplay roster, pushing from No. 11 to No. 10. At the same time, it holds at its all-time peak of No. 19 on the Adult Contemporary roster. "Mystical Magical" isn't far behind its predecessor. After barely breaking into the top 40 on the Hot 100, the track dipped to No. 45, but has now reversed course. This week, it steps up three spaces to No. 42. If it gets picked up at radio, it could soon continue its growth on the ranking. "Beautiful Things" is still far and away Boone's biggest and highest-rising hit on the Hot 100. The tune remains present at No. 8 on the competitive tally, even after 68 weeks on the list. The smash peaked at No. 2 in March 2024 and, amazingly, hasn't disappeared from the ranking.

(Photo by Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic) FilmMagic After hitting it big in 2024 with his debut album Fireworks and Rollerblades , which was largely backed by the global behemoth single 'Beautiful Things,' Benson Boone is fast approaching the release of his sophomore full-length. American Heart is scheduled to arrive in mid-June, and as the singer-songwriter plots a new tour, he's also pushing promotional tunes from the upcoming project. The latest single taken from his forthcoming effort has become a quick success in the United Kingdom. Boone proves once again that he is one of the hottest new names in the global music industry with a new quick smash. Boone's new single is titled 'Mystical Magical,' and it earns a very special debut on the charts in the U.K. this week. The tune opens on four rankings, thanks largely to a healthy sales sum — although fans in the country rushed to streaming platforms to listen to it as well. The tune launches inside the top 40 on each and every list on which it appears. It even manages to crack the top 10 on half of them. 'Mystical Magical' lands highest on the Official Singles Downloads chart, where it starts at No. 9. It also enters the loftiest tier on the Official Singles Sales chart, coming in at No. 10. Boone collects just his second top 10 hit on both the Official Singles Sales and Official Singles Downloads charts. His previous tune from the upcoming album, 'Sorry, I'm Here for Someone Else,' never managed to break into that lofty region. 'Beautiful Things,' however, became a massive sales winner, peaking in the runner-up rung on both lists. Benson Boone's Latest is a Streaming Win Too The recently-released 'Mystical Magical' also starts at No. 17 on the Official Singles chart, which ranks the most consumed songs in the country by blending both sales and streaming activity. Speaking of streams, Boone's latest offering is new at No. 35 on the Official Streaming chart. That tally ranks the most-played cuts on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music throughout the nation. While it just manages to become a top 40 hit as it arrives, it's clear that fans of the pop musician preferred to purchase the cut as soon as it became available. Benson Boone's Many Hit Singles Boone sees four of his tunes stand out as charting hits in the U.K. this week. As 'Mystical Magical' debuts, his previous single 'Sorry, I'm Here for Someone Else' appears on the same quartet of lists, rising on sales rankings, but otherwise keeping fairly steady. Two tracks from his debut full-length — 'Beautiful Things' and 'Slow It Down' — are still streaming well enough to appear on that respective roster. 'Beautiful Things' also lives on the three other tallies that both 'Mystical Magical' and 'Sorry, I'm Here for Someone Else' appear on. Amazingly, despite the fact that it's more than a year old, it's still outpacing the lead single from Boone's upcoming album.
