Post Malone & Morgan Wallen Lead Billboard Hot 100 for Fourth Week, Eminem Debuts at No. 2 (2024)

• That’s ‘Some’ Kind of No. 1

  “I Had Some Help,” on Mercury/Republic/Big Loud, adds a fourth week at No. 1 on the Hot 100 with 59.3 million radio airplay audience impressions (up 13%), 45.6 million official streams (down 4%) and 14,000 sold (down 8%) in the U.S. May 31-June 6.

  The collaboration keeps at No. 2 after it led the Streaming Songs chart in its debut week; drops 2-3 after two weeks atop Digital Song Sales; and holds at No. 5 on Radio Songs, as it pushes 4-3 on Country Airplay and 10-8 on Adult Pop Airplay and bounds to the top 10 (14-10) on Pop Airplay.

  “I Had Some Help” concurrently tops the multimetric Songs of the Summer chart for a second week and Hot Country Songs four a fourth week; among the 27 hits that have topped both the Hot 100 and Hot Country Songs, it’s the first to have debuted atop both lists and spent its first four weeks on each at No. 1.

• ‘Houdini’ Appears at No. 2

  Eminem’s “Houdini” debuts at No. 2 on the Hot 100 with 48.8 million streams, 4 million in radio reach and 49,000 sold from its release on May 31 through June 6.

  The song is expected to usher in Eminem’s 12th studio album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce), slated for release this summer.

  “Houdini” bows as Eminem’s 23rd Hot 100 top 10, as he becomes the 18th artist to reach such a sum since the chart began in the issue dated Aug. 4, 1958. He first reached the tier with “The Real Slim Shady,” which hit No. 4 in June 2000. Since the start of the 2000s, he boasts the seventh-most top 10s, after Drake (an all-time record 78), Taylor Swift (59), Rihanna (32), Justin Bieber (26), Lil Wayne (25) and Beyoncé (24).

  “Houdini” concurrently enters at No. 1 on Streaming Songs, becoming Eminem’s third leader, and Digital Song Sales, marking his 12th.

  The track also premieres atop the multimetric and Hot Rap Songs charts, where it’s Eminem’s second and sixth No. 1, respectively.

  Miller time: “Houdini” interpolates Steve Miller Band’s “Abracadabra,” which topped the Hot 100 for two weeks in September 1982. The latter became the last of the group’s three No. 1s and five top 10s. (Miller wrote it solely and receives writing credit on “Houdini.”)

  Magical moves: “Houdini” is the second song by that title to wriggle onto the Hot 100; Dua Lipa’s different composition debuted at its No. 11 best last November.
