    Post Malone & Morgan Wallen’s ‘I Had Some Help’ Finishes at No. 1 on Billboard’s 2024 Songs of the Summer Chart

    Post Malone ’s “I Had Some Help,” featuring Morgan Wallen , rules as the No. 1 title on Billboard ’s Songs of the Summer chart for 2024. The song claims the title after leading the weekly chart all 14 weeks this season.

    The 20-position Songs of the Summer running tally tracks the most popular titles based on cumulative performance on the weekly streaming-, airplay- and sales-based Billboard Hot 100 chart from Memorial Day through Labor Day (this year encompassing charts dated June 8 through Sept. 7).

    Notably, a country song tops the season-ending Songs of the Summer chart for the second consecutive year, as Wallen’s “Last Night” finished first for 2023 . Prior to the past two years, the genre hadn’t won the crown since John Denver’s “Annie’s Song” led in 1974 (as qualified by titles to reach the top 10 on Billboard ’s Hot Country Songs chart).

    Meanwhile, as Wallen boasts the seasonal No. 1 on Songs of the Summer in back-to-back years, he’s just the second artist ever to link such a streak, and the first in 46 years: Andy Gibb reigned with “I Just Want To Be Your Everything” in 1977 and “Shadow Dancing” in 1978.

    The only other artists with two summer triumphs each overall: Drake, with “One Dance,” featuring WizKid and Kyla, in 2016 and “In My Feelings” in 2018; Katy Perry, with “I Kissed a Girl” in 2008 and “California Gurls,” featuring Snoop Dogg, in 2010; Jay-Z, as featured on Beyoncé’s “Crazy in Love” in 2003 and Rihanna’s “Umbrella” in 2007; Mariah Carey, with “Vision of Love” in 1990 and “We Belong Together” in 2005; and Usher, with “U Remind Me” in 2001 and “Confessions Part II” in 2004.

    Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” places at No. 2 on the season-wrapping Songs of the Summer chart, as country titles take the top two spots for a second straight and total year. In 2023, Luke Combs’ “Fast Car” finished as the runner-up.

    Here is a rundown of the Songs of the Summer chart’s top 10 for 2024:

    • No. 1, “I Had Some Help,” Post Malone feat. Morgan Wallen
    • No. 2, “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” Shaboozey
    • No. 3, “Not Like Us,” Kendrick Lamar
    • No. 4, “Espresso,” Sabrina Carpenter
    • No. 5, “Million Dollar Baby,” Tommy Richman
    • No. 6, “Please Please Please,” Sabrina Carpenter
    • No. 7, “Too Sweet,” Hozier
    • No. 8, “Lose Control,” Teddy Swims
    • No. 9, “Birds of a Feather,” Billie Eilish
    • No. 10, “Beautiful Things,” Benson Boone

    Capping off her buzzy summer, Sabrina Carpenter is the only act with two tracks in the Songs of the Summer top 10 for 2024: “Espresso,” at No. 4, and “Please Please Please,” at No. 6. (Last year, two artists each doubled up: Taylor Swift, with “Cruel Summer” and “Karma,” featuring Ice Spice, and SZA, with “Snooze” and “Kill Bill.”)

    Harry Styles’ “As It Was” clinched the season-ending No. 1 on the 2022 Songs of the Summer chart, after BTS’ “Butter” glided to the top spot in 2021 and DaBaby’s “Rockstar,” featuring Roddy Ricch, wrapped at No. 1 in 2020 (marking the last year that the winning hit hasn’t led the weekly chart from start to finish from Memorial Day through Labor Day).
