Post Malone’s “Sunflower” climbs four Billboard charts this week, while his country collaborations … More
Post Malone’s current hits on the Billboard charts showcase just how diverse his musical output has been throughout his career. The superstar claims a pair of country wins in the United States, but it’s one of his hip-hop-leaning tracks that continues to gain ground globally — years after it became one of the most successful tracks in American history.
“Sunflower” Appears on Multiple Charts
“Sunflower,” Malone’s collaboration with Swae Lee, currently appears on four Billboard rankings. Two of these tallies are based entirely on U.S. consumption, while the track also manages to live on a pair of global rosters.
The cut, which was written and recorded for the film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, is currently the only one of Malone’s charting tunes that lifts across every list on which it appears — an incredibly impressive feat for a cut that was originally a smash in 2018.
This week, “Sunflower” inches to No. 11 on the Rap Streaming Songs chart, nearing the top 10 once more. It also breaks back into the top 20 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Streaming Songs ranking, climbing from No. 22 to No. 20.
At the same time, Malone’s tune ascends a few spots on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S., settling at No. 171. It appears almost 50 spaces higher on the Billboard Global 200, landing at No. 127.
“Sunflower” Is the Highest-Certified Song Ever
“Sunflower” is the highest-certified song in U.S. history, as it remains the only double diamond tune. That means that in the U.S. alone, it has shifted 20 million equivalent units, combining sales and streaming activity.
Its consistent consumption has kept it on all four of the Billboard charts mentioned for at least 100 weeks, while it is approaching 250 weeks on the global tallies.
Post Malone Scores Two Country Wins
Malone also scores a pair of country wins in America, as both “I Had Some Help” and “I Ain’t Coming Back,” which both feature Morgan Wallen, appear on at least half a dozen tallies apiece.
“I Had Some Help” has been around for well over a year, and is amazingly still the stronger performer of the two in many respects. The collaboration lifts to No. 15 on the Hot 100, 56 weeks into its tenure on the tally. Meanwhile, “I Ain’t Coming Back,” after just seven frames, dips to No. 21.
