(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.

Benson Boone's Surprising New Bestseller
Benson Boone's 'Sorry, I'm Here for Someone Else' debuts at No. 22 on the Digital Song Sales chart, ... More joining two other hits as the singer preps his next album. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - DECEMBER 07: Benson Boone attends Variety's Hitmakers Brunch at NYA WEST on December 07, 2024 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by) In a little over a month, Benson Boone will release his sophomore album American Heart. The full-length has already produced a pair of singles, both of which are performing well on the Billboard charts, as listeners across the U.S. appear genuinely excited to hear more from the Grammy-nominated musician. All the excitement surrounding the upcoming project, combined with the continued success of his breakout smash and his recently-released single, helps Boone collect a surprise new bestseller this week. 'Sorry, I'm Here for Someone Else' debuts on the Digital Song Sales chart this week. The cut opens at No. 22 on Billboard's ranking of the bestselling individual tunes in the U.S. During the past tracking frame, the tune sold just under 2,000 copies across the country, according to Luminate. The arrival of 'Sorry, I'm Here for Someone Else' is somewhat surprising, given that it's not exactly new by pop standards. Boone released the track in late February as the first taste from his upcoming project, and it has already spent double-digit weeks on several other rankings. Pure purchases are typically strongest when a tune first debuts. As of this frame, 'Sorry, I'm Here for Someone Else' has now spent 10 weeks on seven other Billboard rankings. That roundup includes the Hot 100 as well as four different radio rankings, and the tune reaches new peaks on several of them this frame — including the all-encompassing list of the most-consumed compositions in the U.S. 'Sorry, I'm Here for Someone Else' is currently matched as Boone's lowest-peaking track on the Digital Song Sales chart. He has only sent four tunes to the tally, and his recent release ties the No. 22 peak of 'Slow It Down,' which spent one frame on the roster last spring. Three of Boone's four compositions that have appeared on the Digital Song Sales chart find space on the list this time around. 'Beautiful Things,' which turned him into a global superstar in early 2024, returns to the highest tier. This time around, it lifts from No. 13 to No. 10 after 68 weeks on the roster. That's an incredible length of time to spend as one of the bestselling tracks in the largest music market in the world. 'Mystical Magical,' the second single taken from American Heart, dips in its second stint on the purchase-only list. This period, the song from No. 9 — where it started last frame — to No. 14.
