Morgan Wallen Matches His Own Longest Run On The Hot 100
'I Had Some Help' by Post Malone and Morgan Wallen reaches 62 weeks on the Hot 100, tying Wallen's ... More longest-charting hit "You Proof" and passing Malone's 'Circles.' NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE - NOVEMBER 08: EDITORIAL USE ONLY (L-R) Post Malone and Morgan Wallen attend the 57th Annual CMA Awards at Bridgestone Arena on November 08, 2023 in Nashville, Tennessee. (Photo by) When Post Malone was looking to jump from hip-hop and pop into country, he reached out to some of the biggest names in the genre for help, and many of them are featured on his full-length F-1 Trillion. He received that assistance from many well-known acts, and he even acknowledged it in his breakout country tune 'I Had Some Help' to make it very clear he was not succeeding in the style all on his own. That track, which debuted at No. 1 on the Hot 100, benefited not just from Malone's popularity and the anticipation surrounding his career pivot, but also the inclusion of Morgan Wallen. The controversial singer-songwriter turned himself into the most successful musician in country several years back, and the duet was seen as a huge moment in pop culture. Well over a year after the two conquered a number of Billboard charts, 'I Had Some Help' ties as Wallen's longest-running smash ever. 'I Had Some Help' Matches Morgan Wallen's Longest Run 'I Had Some Help' has now spent 62 weeks on the Hot 100, as of this frame. As it reaches that milestone, the song ties as Wallen's longest-charting title ever on the list that ranks the most consumed songs in the United States. It's now on the same level as 'You Proof,' which also held on for 62 frames starting in May 2022. Unlike 'I Had Some Help,' however, 'You Proof' never reached the summit on the Hot 100. Instead, it peaked at No. 5. 'I Had Some Help' Still Holding On 62 frames into its lifetime on the Hot 100, 'I Had Some Help' doesn't appear to be vanishing anytime soon. The track drops five spaces to No. 19 this week, but that's largely due to a very busy frame, with several superstars scoring multiple new wins. Justin Bieber launches three tracks from his surprise album Swag ahead of 'I Had Some Help,' and his arrivals are largely responsible for Wallen and Malone's dip. The collaboration could easily rebound once Bieber's tunes begin to descend, or disappear entirely. A New Record in Sight for Morgan Wallen It's likely that 'I Had Some Help' will remain on the Hot 100 next week. If that turns out to be the case, the collaboration will officially become Wallen's longest-charting hit on the tally. The tune already holds that distinction for Malone, as it beats 'Circles' by one frame, as it holds on yet again.

Alex Warren has achieved a rare chart feat on the U.K.'s Official Singles Chart with his song 'Ordinary' (May 16). With its ninth week at No. 1, he is now the longest-running U.S. male solo chart-topper in over 70 years, surpassing Elvis Presley in the process. The King had an eight-week stay at the summit in 1960 with 'It's Now or Never,' one of 21 No. 1 singles in the U.K. More from Billboard Chartbreaker: How Alex Warren Turned a Painful Past Into 'Something That Can Help People' — And a Breakthrough Hit Morgan Wallen's 'I'm the Problem' Breaks Streaming Records on Spotify & Amazon Music in First Day Sleep Token Earns Debut U.K. No. 1 Album With 'Even in Arcadia' Florida-born artist Slim Whitman earned an 11-week stint at the top spot in 1955 with 'Rose Marie,' the title track from the 1954 western epic starring Ann Blyth and Howard Keel. In its 13th week on the Billboard Hot 100, 'Ordinary' is now up to No. 2, closely trailing Kendrick Lamar and SZA's 'Luther,' which has had a 12-week stay at the summit. 'Ordinary' has also hit the top spot on the Global 200 for a second consecutive week. Speaking to Billboard in January, Warren discussed using challenging moments in his personal life, including the passing of both of his parents and his stint of homelessness, in his material. 'I recently started doing this thing where I write about those [experiences], and I try to take control in a way,' he said. 'For me, something really beautiful is taking something so sad and dark, and what most would view as something that ruined their life, and turn it into something that can help people.' The remainder of the top five remains relatively unchanged with Ravyn Lenae's 'Love Me Not' (No. 2), Chappell Roan's 'Pink Pony Club' (No. 3), and WizTheMC and Bees & Honey's 'Show Me Love' (No. 4) all maintaining their positions from last week. Sombr's breakout hit 'Undressed' is in the top five for the first time (No. 5), up one place from the previous week, while his song 'Back to Friends' also rises three spots to No. 12. The week's highest new entry comes from Calvin Harris and Clementine Douglas, as their collaboration 'Blessings' lands at No. 8. The feat gives Harris his 45th top 10 hit.
