Shatters Spotify's country streaming record!
Post Malone has officially made his debut into country music with "I Had Some Help", and what a way to make an official entrance. The song debuted at number one on Spotify and shattered the single day country streaming record at 14 million global streams This is also Morgan Wallen's first global number one.
Surely, Post Malone & Morgan Wallen singing the much anticipated song at Stagecoach helped.
The response to the live performance was overwhelmingly positive, and was touted as the highlight of the festival. Additionally, the song has already reached number one on other major streaming platforms. We'll wait to see, if it debuts at number one on any of Billboard's Country charts. This does sound like it will be the song of the summer.
According to Mediabase, it has been the most added song on country radio since its release, so there is a very good chance that it will debut high.. Post Malone, who's had phenomenal success as a Rap artist has been very vocal about his love for country music. As a matter of fact several years ago, he posted a video performing a decidely traditional country song from Brad Paisley.
Post Malone & Morgan Wallen's collab is not his only hot duet shattering records. Posty's recent collab with Taylor Swift had similar results. Fortnight, the song he recorded with Tay soared to the top of Apple's Global & U.S. Streaming charts, and Billboard's Hot 100 all genre chart. The song has been number one for two weeks as of May 12, 2024.
You might not know this, but Posty holds the record for the most diamond certified singles in any genre at a total of nine. Who would not want to do a collab with Post Malone?
The artist has been dilligently working with Nashville area talent on his first full length country album. One thing I have a lot of respect for is the wide range of country music that Posty has embraced, like many of us that love traditional country and the new sounds too. I'm hoping that his full length country outing will serve as a bridge that unites the different factions of country.
Regardless, it's nice to see someone that has a genuine love and respect for country music take the time to connect with the community, and develop relationships centered around the love for the genre. Posty was the top Rap touring act in 2023.
He will be performing at the 59th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards. His full length country album is slated for late 2024.
