Morgan Wallen—With “Some Help” From Post Malone—Earns Career Milestone Only Ever Achieved by Taylor Swift

Back in 2014, Morgan Wallen looked to find his footing in the music industry by competing on The Voice. While gaining help from both Usher and Adam Levine, Wallen watched his time on the show run out as he was eliminated during the playoff rounds. Not remotely letting the loss dictate his future, the country star went on to release three studio albums with songs like “Whiskey Glasses” and “Cowgirls.” And recently, his collaboration with Post Malone helped him cross a new milestone, joining the company of Taylor Swift. 

With Malone preparing for his debut country album, F-1 Trillion, the singer decided to collaborate with stars like Time McGraw, Jelly Roll, Brad Paisley, Lainey Wilson, Dolly Parton, and several others. While fans have just a few weeks before the album drops, they recently received a taste of what to expect when Wallen and Malone released the song “I Had Some Help.” Since its release, the song not only gained high praise but topped the Billboard Country Airplay. Although a massive accomplishment, the song continued to dominate, eventually taking over the Billboard Pop Airplay charts. 

While thrilled by the reception of “I Had Some Help”, Wallen crossed a milestone only achieved by Taylor Swift. Back in 2008, Swift released her song “Love Story.” And just like Wallen, the star watched as it topped the Country Airplay chart and the Pop Airplay.

Post Malone Focused On More Than His Collaboration With Morgan Wallen

Already releasing songs featuring Wallen, Blake Shelton, and Luke Combs, Malone is looking to not only branch into country music but completely take over the genre. Besides releasing his newest album in August, Malone also remains focused on his health. 

With fans noticing his drastic weight loss over the past few months, he shared his secrets when speaking with Howard Stern. He said, “On tour, I stopped eating a lot of fried stuff [and] pizza. I was like, ‘You know what? I’m going to eat grilled chicken, I’m going to eat carrots, and I’m going to have a little bit of white rice with … hot sauce. I was like … ‘Hot sauce has no calories in it? This sh-t is sick.’” He added, “I lost 20 pounds doing that, and I was like let’s keep going. Let’s keep building. And we just kept f–king rocking and rolling.”

Don’t miss Malone’s debut in country music with the release of F-1 Trillion on August 16th.
