"I Had Some Help" is a song by American rapper and singer Post Malone, featuring vocals from American country music singer Morgan Wallen. It was released through Republic and Mercury Records as the lead single from Malone's upcoming sixth studio album, F-1 Trillion, on May 10, 2024. Malone and Wallen wrote the song with producers Louis Bell, Charlie Handsome, and Hoskins, alongside Ernest, Ashley Gorley, and Chandler Paul Walters.

Commercially, "I Had Some Help" debuted atop the Billboard Hot 100 with the highest weekly sales and streams since 2020, giving Malone his sixth number-one song and Wallen his second. It has now become the longest running number-one song of 2024, holding its position for six nonconsecutive weeks. It made history by debuting at number one on both the Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart, and maintaining the top spot on each for its first five weeks, a feat never achieved before. The song also debuted at number one on the 2024 Billboard's Annual Songs of the Summer chart and concurrently tops the chart for a fifth week. Additionally, it debuted atop the Billboard Global 200 chart and peaked at number one on charts in Australia, Canada, Ireland, and Norway.

Commercial performance

"I Had Some Help" earned 167 first-week adds at country radio, making it only the second song in history to clear the panel in its first week after Garth Brooks in 1997 with "Longneck Bottle".[4] It also broke Spotify's single-day country streaming record with nearly 14 million streams, debuted at No. 1 on the streaming platform's Global Daily chart and became its top male collaboration debut of all time, in addition to topping Apple Music's Global chart and Pandora's Top Thumb Hundred chart, upon release.[4]

In the United States, "I Had Some Help" debuted at number 18 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart dated May 18, 2024, climbing to number nine the following week, before eventually reaching number one for the week June 29, 2024 after spending seven weeks on the chart. It is the first song to reach the top 10 in two weeks or fewer since Brooks' "More Than a Memory" debuted at number one in September 2007, the fastest trip to number one since "More Than a Memory", as well as the fewest total cumulative weeks to reach number one since Tim McGraw's "Live Like You Were Dying" reached the top spot in its seventh week in July 2004. In addition, it is Malone's first number one on the Country Airplay chart, as well as Wallen's thirteenth.[5] The song would notch a second week at number one for the week of July 6, 2024 while Wallen's "Cowgirls" featuring Ernest held the number two position on the Country Airplay Chart the same week, making Wallen the third artist in the chart's history to hold the top two positions concurrently.[6] The song currently ranks at No. 4 on both Pop Airplay and Adult Pop Airplay.[7][8][9]

It is also the first song in nearly a year to spend five consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, since Wallen's "Last Night" spent 10 straight weeks at the top out of 16 total weeks in May–July 2023. Additionally, it is the first song to log six weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2024, surpassing the five weeks on top, of six total dating to late 2023, for Jack Harlow’s “Lovin on Me.” [10][11] Furthermore, it's the first song to have debuted atop both in Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart and spent its first five weeks on each at No. 1.[12][10]

On the Billboard Global 200, it debuted at No. 1 with 119 million streams and 81,000 sold worldwide in the week. It is the third Global 200 No. 1 that has topped Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart, after Beyoncé's "Texas Hold 'Em" and Taylor Swift's "All Too Well (Taylor's Version)".[13]

On the US Radio Songs chart, "I Had Some Help" is the fastest song to hit in the top five since Miley Cyrus' "Flowers" in 2023. It's also the first song to reach the top five in as few as four weeks that has also hit the US Country Airplay chart's top five.[14] The song also reaches number one on the US Radio Songs chart, becoming the sixth song to achieve this milestone and the fastest to do so, topping both the US Country Airplay and all-format US Radio Songs charts.[11]
