Morgan Wallen scored the hit of a lifetime with "Last Night," which earned the country singer-songwriter his first ruler on the Hot 100. That tune debuted on the chart in February 2023 and only needed a few weeks before it became the biggest song in America. "Last Night" still holds as one of the longest-running No. 1s of all time, with 16 weeks spent on the competitive tally's summit.
Even the biggest tracks see their lengthy stays matched at some point, including Wallen's. While "Last Night" may be steady in its position when it comes to the longest-ruling tunes, another one of the musician's singles matches it this week in terms of overall longevity on the Hot 100.
"I Had Some Help" Lives on the Hot 100
"I Had Some Help," Wallen's collaboration with Post Malone, keeps on the Hot 100 for a sixtieth week. This frame, the duet holds at No. 13, sitting just below the top 10.
With 60 weeks on the Hot 100 to its credit, "I Had Some Help" ties "Last Night" as Wallen's second longest-running Hot 100 smash. Both have managed 60 stays on the ranking, but that likely won't be the case for very long.
Since "I Had Some Help" is still present inside the top 15, it seems destined to live on the Hot 100 for at least another frame, if not several more, or perhaps even months. There are multiple tracks on the chart at the moment that have managed stays much longer than "I Had Some Help," so a continuation of its stretch on the tally isn't impossible.
'You Proof'' Continues to Lead
Wallen's longest-charting Hot 100 hit remains "You Proof," which only beats "I Had Some Help" and "Last Night" by two weeks. In a few days, when Billboard refreshes its rankings, it's likely that "I Had Some Help" will break out of its tie with "Last Night" and stand alone as Wallen's second-longest-charting track — and then, a week or so later, match "You Proof."
"I Had Some Help" Remains Inside the Top 20
"I Had Some Help" is currently still present inside the top 20 on both the Streaming Songs and Radio Songs charts. The Hot 100 is composed using a methodology that blends sales, streams, and radio activity, so the fact that the year-plus-old cut is still performing well enough to live within that competitive region on the general streaming and radio tallies shows that consumption is still high to this day.
