Another day, another record.
If taking home 11 Billboard Music Awards and setting the record for largest country concert ever in the U.K. over a 10 month span wasn’t impressive enough, Morgan Wallen continued his success with yet another record that has only been achieved once in history.
Today, it was revealed that Wallen became the first artist this century to have Billboard’s Song of the Summer two years in a row with Post Malone’s “I Had Some Help” officially receiving the title just hours ago.
In 2023, “Last Night” became the first country song to notch this summertime achievement since John Denver’s “Annie’s Song” did back in 1974 on its way to become the #1 song of the year on Billboard’s Hot 100 songs chart.
This is only the second time in history that an artist has boasted back-to-back Songs of the Summer with Andy Gibb setting the record with “I Just Want To Be Your Everything” and “Shadow Dancing” in 1977 and 1978.
The “7 Summers” singer joins the company of Gibb, Drake, Katy Perry, Jay-Z, Mariah Carey and Usher as the only artists in history to notch two Songs of the Summer throughout Billboard’s history.
“I Had Some Help” just edged out Shaboozey’s smash hit, “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” for the #1 spot. The Songs of the Summer Top 10 is as follows:
- “I Had Some Help” – Post Malone feat. Morgan Wallen
- “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” – Shaboozey
- “Not Like Us” – Kendrick Lamar
- “Espresso” – Sabrina Carpenter
