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.

(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.

Morgan Wallen Pokes Fun At Viral Coldplay Kiss Cam Incident During Live Concert: 'I Think You're Safe Here'
Morgan Wallen Pokes Fun At Viral Coldplay Kiss Cam Incident During Live Concert: 'I Think You're Safe Here' originally appeared on Parade. As if the Coldplay kiss cam viral moment couldn't get any crazier, Morgan Wallen has now jumped on the bandwagon that has taken the internet by storm. On Friday (July 18) night, during night one of his two-night stint at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, the 'I'm The Problem' hitmaker cracked a joke presumably at the expense of a high-ranking CEO at a software company and his employee, who have recently been accused of having an affair. In the middle of his set list, ahead of his performance of 'I'm A Little Crazy,' Wallen could be heard reassuring his fans that while he doesn't support infidelity, he did believe those in attendance who were being romantically unfaithful wouldn't have to worry about getting caught. 'If there's anybody here with their side chick or whatever, I think, I think you're safe here,' Wallen told the crowd with a half smile as shown in a fan video, posted on TikTok. 'I don't condone cheating anymore.' 'Morgan Wallen didn't name names, but we know exactly who he meant,' one person captioned a clip, shared on TikTok, likely pointing to Andy Byron, CEO of the software company Astronomer, and his presumed co-worker Kristin Cabo's kiss cam moment earlier this month at Gillette Stadium during Coldplay's concert. Wallen's comment comes after a video surfaced online featuring a man and woman on a Jumbotron at Coldplay's concert on Wednesday (July 16) in Foxborough, Mass. The two appeared to be enjoying a warm, romantic embrace, but quickly pulled away from one another and hid their faces once they realized they were being captured on video. "Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy,' Coldplay's lead singer Chris Martin said, calling out the individual's 'sheepish' reaction during the moment, which resulted in laughs from the audience. That clip has since gone viral after making the rounds on social media. Wallen is the latest country artist to comment on the viral moment following Luke Bryan, who made a quip during his concert at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, South Carolina, on Thursday (July 17). "Who's here with their secretary tonight?" Bryan joked per a TikTok video, alluding to the situation. "It's gotta be someone way up there… Oh, yeah! There they are. Do not get caught tonight!"

The report, which examines the health of the music industry from various data points, notes an uptick in U.S. total album consumption, increasing 3.9 percent to 558.9 million compared to 537.9 million last year. Wallen's 'I'm the Problem' leads U.S. top 10 albums with 2.562 million total album-equivalent consumption, followed by SZA's 'SOS' (1.711 million), Lamar's 'GNX' (1.706 million), Bad Bunny's 'DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS' (1.650 million) and Sabrina Carpenter's 'Short n' Sweet' (1.331 million). More from Variety 'KPop Demon Hunters' Soundtrack Hits New Peak of No. 2 on Albums Chart Lorde's 'Virgin' Album Debuts at No. 2 on Billboard Chart Drake Slams Former Friends in Fallout From Kendrick Lamar Beef on New Single 'What Did I Miss?' Rounding out the top 10 include the Weeknd's 'Hurry Up Tomorrow,' Drake and PartyNextDoor's 'Some Sexy Songs 4 U,' Wallen's 'One Thing at a Time,' Lady Gaga's 'Mayhem' and Playboi Carti's 'Music.' Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars have had the biggest song thus far this year on a global scale, topping the worldwide top 10 with 'Die With a Smile' (1.920 billion on-demand audio streams). Mars comes in yet again at No. 2 with Rosé for their collaboration 'APT.' (1.624 billion), followed by Billie Eilish's 'Birds of a Feather' (1.316 billion), Kendrick Lamar and SZA's 'Luther' (1.207 billion) and Bad Bunny's 'DtMF' (1.163 billion).

On the global front, on-demand audio song streams increased by 10.3 percent to 2.5 trillion compared to 2.3 trillion in the previous year. Elsewhere, hip-hop and R&B outpaced other genres in the U.S. with the highest volume of on-demand audio streaming, leading with 171.1 billion. Behind it sits rock (123.3 billion), pop (83.3 billion), country (61.8 billion) and Latin (59.4 billion). Notably, rock had the highest growth compared to the same timeframe as last year, while Latin, country and Christian/gospel trailed behind it. Blues also had a bump in growth due to the 'Sinners' soundtrack and the tangential activity of featured artists. Luminate also looked at the appeal of music documentaries, noting that viewers tend to gravitate towards films that focus on legacy artists as 'Becoming Led Zeppelin' rank at the top. Docs including 'Avicii — I'm Tim,' 'Sly Lives! (aka the Burden of Black Genius),' 'Return of the King: The Fall and Rise of Elvis Presley' and 'The Greatest Night in Pop' rank behind 'Zeppelin' in the top five, while additional films including 'Luther: Never Too Much' and 'Beatles '64' round out the top 10.
