Post Malone’s “I Had Some Help” ties “Circles” with 60 weeks on Billboard’s Radio Songs chart, … More
Post Malone first became a musical superstar thanks to the songs he released that fit within the hip-hop genre. He found incredible commercial success right out of the gate, but when it comes to his performance on Billboard’s main radio ranking, his longest-running smashes can’t be classified as rap. Instead, his biggest pop tune and his first proper country hit are now tied for a special place within his discography.
“I Had Some Help” Ties “Circles”
Malone’s collaboration with Morgan Wallen, “I Had Some Help,” as well as his solo tune “Circles” have both spent 60 weeks on the Billboard’s Radio Songs chart. That tally ranks the singles that rack up the largest number of total audience impressions across all airplay formats in the U.S. It’s rare for any track to live on the list for a year or longer, and now Malone has scored a pair of those massive wins.
“Circles” Vs. “I Had Some Help”: Weeks at No. 1
“Circles” debuted on the Radio Songs chart in September 2019 and reached No. 1 in December. It spent 11 weeks ruling and still stands as Malone’s longest-running champion by far.
“I Had Some Help” only held on to the top spot for about half as long — five frames. It launched on the competitive ranking in May 2024 and has not disappeared since.
“I Had Some Help” is About to Pull Ahead
While “I Had Some Help” is currently matched with “Circles,” the two likely won’t be tied for very long. Malone’s first country win rises to No. 20 on the 50-spot roster, so there’s a good chance it will continue to live on this list for several more months. In fact, by the time it’s done, “I Had Some Help” may rank as one of the longest-charting tracks in the history of the Radio Songs tally.
Morgan Wallen’s Many Radio Smashes
“I Had Some Help” is Malone’s only current hit on the Radio Songs chart this week, but Wallen fills 10% of all the available spots. Amazingly, “I Had Some Help” is his highest-ranking win, even after more than a year on the roster, as it sits just above both “Just in Case” and “I’m the Problem,” which give him a winning streak as they occupy Nos. 21 and 22, respectively. Further down on the ranking, “Love Somebody” dips to No. 44, while “What I Want,” Wallen’s collaboration with Tate McRae, lifts to a new peak of No. 46 in its second frame on the tally.
