One of the sturdiest smashes of the past decade for Post Malone, "I Had Some Help" has broken new ground by spending 61 weeks on Billboard's Radio Songs chart, setting a new record for the artist[1]. This 61-week run surpasses the previous record held by "Circles," which spent 60 weeks on the chart.
