Post Malone doubles his no. 1s on country charts with new hit

In early May 2025, Post Malone and Morgan Wallen's collaboration, 'I Ain't Coming Back,' made a significant impact on the Country Streaming Songs chart in the United States. The song debuted at No. 1, marking Malone's second time reaching this top position since transitioning to country music last year. Previously recognized for his work in rap and pop, Malone's venture into this genre appears to be paying off, as the track has also seen considerable attention on various Billboard rankings, landing within the top ten of several lists. The partnership with Morgan Wallen has been particularly fruitful, as both artists have previously collaborated successfully. Wallen, a well-established name in country music, has experienced immense popularity, evidenced by 'I Ain't Coming Back' being his sixteenth No. 1 track on the Country Streaming Songs list. Though Malone is relatively new to these heights, his adaptability and willingness to explore different musical styles have clearly resonated with audiences, contributing to his growing success. Meanwhile, another collaboration in the country genre, 'Hard Fought Hallelujah' by Brandon Lake and Jelly Roll, has also made headlines. The newly formed duet version of the song recently hit the top of the Country Digital Song Sales chart, reflecting a growing trend of collaborations in modern music that often blend various styles and genres. Jelly Roll, in particular, has experienced significant success recently, with several previous songs peaking at No. 2 on various charts. This collaboration is seen as a pivotal moment for both artists, aligning with the current demand for relatable and heartfelt music. In summary, both Post Malone's and Brandon Lake's recent chart successes illustrate the evolving landscape of the music industry, where cross-genre collaborations can lead to significant achievements. As both artists continue to release new music, it will be interesting to see how they leverage their recent successes to shape their future careers, engage with their audiences, and possibly set new records.
