I Had Some Help has monster Amazon/Pandora streams + iTunes sales.

Even if it continues to bomb on Spotify and do sub-30M, it still debuts at #1 lol.

Its first day was just INSANE.

Can you share Pandora / Amazon stream #s? Or where can you see them?

On Pandora it did 1.5M on Friday (which combines programmed streams & on-demand streams; mostly the latter initially).

The other ones I don't know the exact numbers, but close estimates.

So for on-demand audio alone:

Spotify: 7.878M [official - and yes, Billboard uses the exact same number as on the chart. Which means that it uses UTC tracking for Spotify lol]
Apple: 4.5-5M
Amazon: 3M [Note Last Night/Fast Car were peaking with 1M streams for most of their run on here and they were "Amazon-fueled". The #1 often struggles to do 600K...]
Pandora: 1M
YouTube Music/other: 1M

99% of these are paid btw. Kendrick and MDB have worse paid ratios, only further giving it advantage.

He had some help

[jred]

The fact that Post/Morgan has lost like 3M streams in the last two days and is still just under 4M daily is insane. TOTC’s latest prediction has it at 670 points.

I thought it’d be big on name alone but this is so much more massive than I imagined

idk, I'm not sold on this Post's 'comeback', because the main reason behind these #1s are Taylor and Morgan. His last solo top 10 was Circles, almost 5 years ago and I wonder if these collabs will have any influence on his next lead (solo, hopefully) single. Rooting for him!

Yeah it might not help his solo success but it will make him an even higher in demand feature will can continue to help his career.

Interesting if Post were to release his next album now, and if both Fortnight and I Had Some Help were to be on it, bam that's two #1s from one album. And it would add to its total SPS and certifications no?

Since he's the lead on IHSH, I'd expect that to be on any new project *or* a tacked on to 'TDC' - it's already been 'Deluxed'. Taylor won't license 'Fortnight'.

[Music Fan]

I Had Some Help is expected to be performed at this week's ACM Awards on Thursday. This should help give the song one last boost for the week (not like it needs it) and a boost to start the next tracking week.

Also, obviously the song has lost some streaming on Spotify (and likely elsewhere). What caused the TOTC prediction to increase by over 50 points? Was it just a super conservative early number or airplay just exploded?

20(+5) Post Malone - I Had Some Help (feat. Morgan Wallen) 38.93(+5.18)

Likely a combination of higher airplay, higher sales and high streaming. Despite its decreases on spotify, it's #2 on Apple Music still and is likely doing quite a lot of streams on Amazon in particular.

[Ｓｏｕｎｄｃｌ🕤ｃｋ]

MILLION DOLLAR BABY had 6.2M streams on US Spotify yesterday, it'd be crazy if it doesn't reach #1 at some point.

[Acid Eyes]

Am I missing something with IHSH? I get that it had a monster day 1. But #3 on Spotify and #2 on AM... we really think it's going to be that far in the lead? How much is it selling?

I Had Some Help gained by over 600k streams today on US Spotify, while Million Dollar Baby & Not Like Us lost thousands of streams in comparison. If it keeps closing the gap and then gets a massive boost on Thursday/Friday, courtesy of it being performed at the ACM Awards, I could see it challenging for a second straight week at #1.

It's impressive how Morgan has been able to consistently push two radio singles at once.

Even know he's just began pushing Cowgirls on radio and IHSH on pop. Normal acts that do this generally blunt the growth of one of the songs but but in his case it continues to work!

I think after this week, Kendrick is going to start slowly decreasing in streams and then leveling off. I think IHSH will have to challenge Million Dollar Baby.

What a time to break out for Sabrina. A very strong case for a Song of The Summer and number one. DAYS later, we get the biggest rap beef in decades, the biggest non Taylor debut ever and Million dollar baby putting up all time numbers 💀.

It's impressive how Morgan has been able to consistently push two radio singles at once.

Even know he's just began pushing Cowgirls on radio and IHSH on pop. Normal acts that do this generally blunt the growth of one of the songs but but in his case it continues to work!

Well, not exactly, especially if they're on two different formats (and rarely, the same), it doesn't matter much. For example, it used to be common at least in the past for R&B artists to send one single to Urban and another to CHR simultaneously without one affecting the other, a strategy employed by Usher, Chris Brown, and Beyonce.

What a time to break out for Sabrina. A very strong case for a Song of The Summer and number one. DAYS later, we get the biggest rap beef in decades, the biggest non Taylor debut ever and Million dollar baby putting up all time numbers 💀.

Gonna have the biggest number 4 peaking song ever

Of course Taylor herself already started to blow Sabrina hugely out of the water, with Espresso dropping 7-22 the week TTPD came out, taking much of the pop-girl limelight away from her.

Post Malone & Morgan Wallen’s ‘I Had Some Help’ Becomes Instant Smash, Boosts Both Artists’ Back Catalogs

‘Help’ Is on the Way: Post Malone & Morgan Wallen Earn Massive Streams Ahead of Hot 100 Debut

Considering how Morgan Wallen dominated the charts in 2023, and how Post Malone has been an in-demand collaborator for music’s biggest superstars in recent months, it should come as no surprise that their new team-up “I Had Some Help” is off to a fast start at streaming. Yet the country duet is exceeding even the loftiest expectations out of the gate — not only challenging for a No. 1 debut on next week’s Hot 100, but also for one of the biggest streaming weeks of 2024, while also lifting up Posty and Wallen’s respective back catalogs.

In its first four days of release (May 10-13), “Help” scored 44.8 million U.S. official audio streams, while also earning 59,000 in digital sales, according to Luminate. We’ll see where the single’s first-week streaming total finishes in a few days, but the number likely won’t be too far off from Taylor Swift and Post Malone’s “Fortnight,” which currently holds the 2024 one-week streaming belt with 76.2 million streams. Meanwhile, “Help” has boosted Post Malone’s streaming catalog outside of the new single by 10% — 34.4 million streams from May 10-13, up from 31.3 million from the previous Friday-to-Monday tracking period — and Wallen’s by a little under 7% (102.6 million streams, up from 96 million streams), as fans click from “Help” to both artists’ past hits on streaming platforms.

And don’t look now, but Wallen may have another hit spinning off from his 2023 blockbuster album, One Thing at a Time: “Cowgirls,” featuring ERNEST, has been steadily climbing in streams over the past six weeks, from 5.6 million streams during the chart week ending Apr. 4 to 9.6 million streams during the week ending May 10, while entering the top 20 on Country Airplay. “Cowgirls” also climbs to a new peak of No. 6 on Hot Country Songs this week, which means that Wallen could have a pair of collaborations, one old and one new, in the top 5 of next week’s tally. – JASON LIPSHUTZ

I wouldn't count Sabrina out yet. Radio will play Espresso to death all throughout summer and even if it can't get the #1 it could definitely challenge for a top 3 peak
