Morgan Wallen and Post Malone have made history with their new single, “I Had Some Help,” released on Friday (May 10) via Mercury Records/Republic in partnership with Big Loud Records.

The song earned 167 first-week adds at country radio, becoming the first single to accomplish that feat since Garth Brooks‘ “Longneck Bottle” in 1997, and opened at No. 15 on the Mediabase chart, marking the second-highest debut of the monitored era behind Brooks’ “More Than A Memory” in 2007.

“I Had Some Help” 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.

“Post and Morgan delivered a huge hit record; we knew we had to do our part and deliver a huge launch at country radio,” says Stacy Blythe, SVP of Radio Promotion, Big Loud Records. “Our radio partners made this set-up incredibly exciting and we are so grateful for how they stepped up to support with no hesitation.”
