Post Malone and Morgan Wallen’s ‘I Had Some Help’ Reigns Atop Billboard’s 2024 Songs of the Summer Chart

As summer 2024 comes to close, the time has also come to crown the song of the season. Even with the "brat" few months we've had and all the 'Espresso' we could stomach, it was Post Malone and Morgan Wallen’s ‘I Had Some Help’ that reigned supreme this summer season.

It was just announced that the smash country duet came in atop Billboard’s 2024 Songs of the Summer chart. The tune beat out Shaboozey’s inescapable 'A Bar Song (Tipsy),' which placed at No. 2 on the ranking.

Since its release in early May, the upbeat F-1Trillion hit has enjoyed several weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100, as well as an immense wave of success on the country-specific charts.

Debuting atop the Hot 100 and the Hot Country Songs charts following its release, 'I Had Some Help' earned 167 first-week adds at country radio, becoming only the second song ever to be added to every reporting station on the panel (the other being Garth Brooks' 1997 hit 'Longneck Bottle').

After breaking Spotify's single-day streaming record for a country song with just shy of 14 million plays, it also debuted at No. 18 on the Country Airplay chart and surged to the top spot after only seven weeks.

Originally teased on March 20 of this year, the pair of hitmakers joined forced at the beginning of May to tease that the song that would quickly become a smash hit. For Malone, 'I Had Some Help' is his first ever country chart-topper and sixth across the Hot 100, whereas Wallen enjoyed his 13th country No. 1 and second trip to the top of the all-genre survey.

This marks the second year in a row a country song has topped the end-of-season ranking, with Wallen’s 'Last Night' taking the crown in 2023. Last year, Luke Combs' 'Fast Car' cover also screeched in as the list's runner-up.

‘I Had Some Help’ won out over an array of cross-genre bops, including Kendrick Lamar's 'Not Like Us', Hozier's 'Too Sweet' and Sabrina Carpenter's pair of hits, 'Espresso' and 'Please Please Please'.
