Post Malone is on a winning streak. The American rapper and singer earns his second No. 1 single of the year with his and Morgan Wallen‘s duet “ I Had Some Help ” debuting atop the latest Billboard Hot 100 chart .
Malone last appeared at No. 1 in April alongside Taylor Swift for their juggernaut single “Fortnight” (from Swift’s Billboard 200 -topping “The Tortured Poets Department”), which remains in the Top 10 of the singles list, sitting at No. 8 this week.
Wallen and Malone had been teasing a joint single for the last month and premiered the country pop anthem, “I Had Some Help,” in a duet performance during Wallen’s headlining set at the Stagecoach festival. It opens with 76.4 million streams, replacing “Fortnight” as the song with the most single-week streams this year, according to research company Luminate.
“I Had Some Help” follows Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold ‘Em” as the second country song to top the Hot 100 this year. It takes the slot from last week’s leader, Kendrick Lamar’s Drake diss “Not Like Us,” which slips to No. 2 while Tommy Richman’s “Million Dollar Baby” moves to No.

Plenty of other fresh faces appear atop the Hot 100, including Shaboozey and his “Bar Song (Tipsy),” which is at No. 4, and Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things” at No. 5.
Boone also recently joined Lana Del Rey to sing “.
