Alex Warren Teams Up With Jelly Roll for Stomping Country Single ‘Bloodline'
Alex Warren is breaking generational chains with some help from Jelly Roll. On Thursday (May 22), the two singers released their new collaboration, 'Bloodline.' The country-fied single finds the TikTok sensation-turned-pop singer ruminating over the ties that bind, as he sings, 'Take that pain, pass it down like photos on the wall/ Momma said, 'Your dad's to blame, but that's his daddy's fault'/ Oh, there's no one left to call,' over tense acoustic guitar. More from Billboard Here's Everyone Jelly Roll Brought Out During His Guest-Heavy Stagecoach Headlining Set Tory Lanez Is Being Transferred to a New Prison After Being Stabbed, His Dad Says Aaron Paul Opens Up About Tracking Down Tour Managers to Get Bands to Perform in His Living Room The song soon breaks into a stomp-and-clap chorus where Warren promises, 'From where you came isn't who you are/ Oh, my brother/ You don't have to follow in your bloodline,' before tossing the mic to Jelly Roll for a growling second versW. In April, Warren made a surprise appearance during Jelly Roll's Stagecoach set, where the duo performed the song live for the first time ahead of its release, as well as the singer/songwriter's breakthrough hit single 'Ordinary.' The studio version of 'Bloodline' arrives in the wake of 'Ordinary,' reaching a new high of No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 earlier this month (chart dated May 10). The week of May 19, the hard-hitting gospel-inflected anthem simultaneously topped both Billboard Global tallies for the first time, adding to its quickly compounding chart successes that also includes Warren's first Streaming Songs chart-topper and nine consecutive weeks and counting spent at No. 1 in the U.K. Meanwhile, Jelly Roll has kept busy since his Stagecoach appearance by hitting the road with Post Malone on the ongoing Big Ass Stadium Tour and performing with Shaboozey at the 2025 ACM Awards. Earlier this week, Jelly also welcomed Eminem onstage in Detroit for a surprise duet version of 'Lose Yourself.' Stream Warren and Jelly Roll's 'Bloodline' below.

Morgan Wallen Barely Misses Hitting No. 1 On Multiple Billboard Charts
Morgan Wallen is inching closer and closer to the release of what may be the largest album debut of 2025: his upcoming full-length I'm the Problem. He's already produced a slew of hits from a project that isn't even out yet, and which won't be for several weeks. The country superstar dropped a brand new single a little over a week ago, and it's immediately become another smash to add to his ever-expanding list of favorites. 'I Ain't Coming Back,' his latest collaboration with Post Malone, almost returned him to the No. 1 spot on a pair of Billboard rankings. This frame, the tune misses that mark by a single space, becoming another hit — but not a champion. 'I Ain't Coming Back' launches in the runner-up spot on both the Streaming Songs and Country Digital Song Sales charts. The former list covers all genres and ranks the most-played titles across major platforms such as Tidal, Apple Music, Napster, iHeartRadio, and Spotify. The latter focuses specifically on the top-performing country tracks in terms of digital purchases, with each tune's style defined by Billboard. While Wallen doesn't add to his growing list of leaders this frame, he's previously topped both of these charts. He has now earned four No. 1s on the Streaming Songs tally, which is a significant achievement for a country musician. Two singles from I'm the Problem — the title cut and 'Love Somebody' — each spent one turn at No. 1. His prior team-up with Malone, 'I Had Some Help,' earned two weeks at the summit. 'Last Night,' arguably his biggest smash, ruled the Country Digital Song Sales chart for 19 frames. While it doesn't top every chart this frame, 'I Ain't Coming Back' does manage to conquer one Billboard tally. The cut opens in first place on the latest edition of the Country Streaming Songs chart. It opens at No. 1, earning Wallen his sixteenth leader on that roster and giving Malone his second career chart-topper in the country field. Different tracks block Wallen and Malone from hitting No. 1 on both the Streaming Songs and Country Digital Song Sales lists. On the former, newcomer Alex Warren surges to the summit with 'Ordinary,' which is quickly shaping up to be not just his breakout tune, but one of the hottest hits of 2025. On the Country Digital Song Sales roster, 'Hard Fought Hallelujah,' a duet between Brandon Lake and Jelly Roll, reigns. The track had been available for a while as a solo cut, but the addition of Jelly elevates it to the top of this genre-specific list. 'I Ain't Coming Back' debuts on eight Billboard rankings this week. It opens inside the top 10 on all but two of them, and manages to enter that uppermost tier on three of the most important lists published by the company: the Hot 100 (No. 8), Digital Song Sales (No. 4), and, of course, Streaming Songs rosters (No. 2).

Morgan Wallen Matches Kendrick Lamar With Multiple Streaming Wins
Morgan Wallen lands seven tracks on the Streaming Songs chart, including two brand new top five ... More hits, tying Kendrick Lamar for the most hits at the moment. NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE - MAY 02: Morgan Wallen performs onstage during night one of his One Night At A Time 2024 tour at Nissan Stadium on May 02, 2024 in Nashville, Tennessee. (Photo byfor Morgan Wallen's One Night At A Time 2024) Morgan Wallen is not the average country music superstar. He's managed feats that few in his chosen genre have in the past, and he's even managed to outperform most, if not all, of his competitors when it comes to streaming success. His entire discography consistently performs well on sites like Spotify and Apple Music, and when he shares something new, the positive results are often immediate – and especially visible on those platforms. This week proves that fact once again, as Wallen floods Billboard's most important streaming chart with several cuts, including some new, as well as other returning favorites. On the latest edition of Billboard's Streaming Songs chart, Wallen occupies seven spaces. The tally ranks the most-played tracks in the U.S. across major platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, and Tidal. Owning seven spots on such a competitive list is an impressive feat, and especially for a country musician, as that type of showing is typically reserved for only the most successful pop and hip-hop artists. Of the seven Wallen cuts currently present on the Streaming Songs ranking, two are brand new this frame, and both earn lofty debuts. The most impressive of the pair is 'Just In Case,' which nearly launches in first place. The new single settles for the runner-up slot, coming in behind only Kendrick Lamar and SZA's latest collaboration, 'Luther,' which is in charge again. His second new arrival, 'I'm A Little Crazy,' enters at No. 5. The track was released alongside 'Just In Case' and essentially functions as a B-side to the bigger single. Despite not being the focus, it's still one of the most-played tracks in the country right now. In addition to his pair of top five arrivals, Wallen continues to rank on the tallies with a number of other recent tracks. 'I'm The Problem,' the title cut from his forthcoming album, returns to the top 10 as it rises from No. 21 to No. 9. 'Love Somebody,' another recently-shared single from the same upcoming effort, also improves significantly, moving up from No. 27 to No. 18. Meanwhile, Wallen's chart-topping collaboration with Post Malone, 'I Had Some Help,' is a non-mover this time around. It holds steady at No. 26, months after it first dominated a number of Billboard tallies. This week's Streaming Songs chart also includes a pair of re-entries from Wallen's soon-to-be-released full-length. 'Smile' reappears at No. 29, while 'Lies, Lies, Lies' narrowly makes the cut, sneaking back onto the 50-position ranking at No. 46. Thanks to his two debuts and his pair of returning favorites, Wallen ties for the most appearances on the Streaming Songs chart this week. He claims seven total placements, matching the number of tracks Lamar currently has on the same tally. That's not an unusual showing for a major rapper, but for a country musician, it's incredibly impressive, and it shows just how exciting Americans are for I'm the Problem.

Selena Gomez's New Top 10 Smash Marks New Territory For Her
Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco debut 'Bluest Flame' as a top five hit on three Billboard dance ... More charts, while their joint album starts strong across the board.

(Allen J. Schaben / Los Angeles Times via Getty Images) Selena Gomez has charted dozens of hits and released multiple bestselling albums throughout her long and successful music career. For her latest project, she tried something new: she brought her partner Benny Blanco into the studio with her for a special release. The couple's joint full-length I Said I Love You First arrives this week on the Billboard rankings, and it opens in lofty positions across the board. While the album hasn't spun off a runaway smash just yet, several of the tracks featured on the effort manage to debut on important tallies — and one, in particular, helps the pair reach new territory. 'Bluest Flame' is just one of half a dozen tracks from I Said I Love You First that appear on the charts this week in America. Billboard has categorized the track as a dance tune, and that genre classification helps it reach multiple rosters connected specifically to that style of music. The track – so far not a single – opens inside the top five on three separate tallies: Dance Digital Song Sales, Dance Streaming Songs, and the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs charts. But perhaps its most notable placement comes on a recently-introduced list that combines elements of both pop and dance. Billboard only launched the Hot Dance/Pop Songs chart a few months ago. The ranking focuses on the most popular tunes that blend pop hooks with danceable beats — but only by artists not typically labeled as electronic acts. Sales, streaming data, and radio play are all used to determine a title's placement. This week, 'Bluest Flame' arrives at No. 4 on the chart. It's the only debut on the tally this frame. The single is an initial win for both Gomez and Blanco as it becomes a full-fledged smash. Outside of the new hybrid chart, 'Bluest Flame' is also enjoying a warm welcome elsewhere in the dance world. The track starts at No. 4 on the Dance Streaming Songs list and slightly outperforms that slot on the Dance Digital Song Sales ranking, where it opens at No. 3. Those positions earn it the honor of being the top debut on both of those rankings this time around. While this is a brand new win for both stars on the Hot Dance/Pop Songs chart, Gomez has already landed on the dance-specific rankings multiple times. 'Bluest Flame' marks her sixth top 10 hit on the Dance Streaming Songs list and her seventh appearance inside that space on the Dance Digital Song Sales tally. Every of her entries on the two rosters has made it into the uppermost region, so she keeps her perfect track record with her latest win. As for the album that houses 'Bluest Flame,' it too launches in a big way. I Said I Love You First opens at No. 1 on both the Top Album Sales and Vinyl Albums charts, showing that fans were eager to own a physical copy – not something every artist can claim these days. On the Billboard 200, the all-genre albums chart, it nearly reaches the summit, but instead opens at No. 2, narrowly missing a first place debut. The set also appears at No. 6 on the Top Streaming Albums tally, demonstrating the fact that it's a hit across all formats.

Jimin's Historic Smash Surges Nearly 500% In Sales
Jimin's song 'Who' is once again proving its continued popularity in the U.S. music market this week. Months after its initial release, the track surged in sales, and it is once more one of the bestselling tunes in America. Fans stepped up their support in a major way, pushing the BTS star's hit back onto the charts and helping it break a historic record in the process. This week, 'Who' finds its way back to the Digital Song Sales chart, Billboard's ranking of the bestselling songs in the U.S. The cut re-enters the tally at No. 14, securing a mid-tier placement on the 25-spot list. Its return is fueled by a massive increase in purchases, as Jimin's fans make sure it remains a success long after its debut. According to data from Luminate, 'Who' sold approximately 2,800 copies in the latest tracking frame. That marks a staggering 472% increase from the prior period when it barely managed 500 pure sales. This kind of explosive growth is uncommon, especially for a song that has already been available for months, but there's a good reason why superfans of the South Korean powerhouse talent returned to sites like iTunes to buy the cut. Jimin's supporters weren't just buying 'Who' for the sake of sales — they were aiming to ensure its continued success on the Hot 100 as well. The song has now spent 33 weeks on Billboard's ranking of the most-consumed songs in the U.S., and as it rises again, it makes history. As it holds on and earns one more stay on the tally, 'Who' surpasses BTS's 'Dynamite' to become the longest-charting song by any South Korean musical act in Hot 100 history. 'Dynamite' held on for 32 weeks before finally falling off, but now, Jimin has broken that record and stands alone in this regard. As sales skyrocket, 'Who' also jumps up the Hot 100. The track leaps from No. 41 to No. 29, marking an impressive shift – powered largely by purchases – as it continues its historic run. Streaming is also playing a key role in the song's endurance. 'Who' climbs on the Streaming Songs chart as well, lifting from No. 26 to No. 23. This movement shows that, beyond just sales, listeners are still engaging with the track on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music in large numbers. Among the three major charts where 'Who' is thriving — the Hot 100, Streaming Songs, and Digital Song Sales — it has spent the least amount of time on the sales tally. That's also the list where it has climbed the highest. In previous weeks, Jimin ruled the Digital Song Sales chart with 'Who,' though it has only spent 10 frames on the ranking overall. By comparison, the song previously peaked at No. 11 on Streaming Songs and No. 12 on the Hot 100. It has, however, now spent over 30 weeks on both of those tallies.
