Country star Morgan Wallen was arrested earlier this year after throwing a chair off the sixth floor of Eric Church’s Chief’s Bar in Nashville, Tennessee. On Thursday, a judge sentenced the “Love Somebody” singer to one week of incarceration at a DUI education center and two years’ probation — one year for each of his misdemeanor charges for reckless endangerment — after he pleaded guilty. Wallen must also pay a $350 fine and court fees.

“Mr. Wallen has cooperated fully with authorities throughout these last eight months, directly communicating and apologizing to all involved. Mr. Wallen remains committed to making a positive impact through his music and foundation,” his attorney Worrick Robinson IV told People in a statement.

According to an arrest report obtained by the Nashville-based News Channel 5, “some Metro Nashville police officers were standing in front of Chief’s Bar on Broadway Sunday night when a chair fell from above them, hitting the ground just feet from where they were standing.” Once Wallen, who was previously arrested in 2020 on public intoxication and disorderly conduct charges, was identified as the chair tosser by Chief’s employees, authorities obtained video of him “lunging and throwing an object over the roof.”

Wallen addressed the incident later that month on X. “I didn’t feel right publicly checking in until I made amends with some folks. I’ve touched base with Nashville law enforcement, my family, and the good people at Chief’s. I’m not proud of my behavior, and I accept responsibility,” he wrote. “I have the utmost respect for the officers working every day to keep us all safe. Regarding my tour, there will be no change.”

For The First Time In Three Months, Shaboozey’s ‘A Bar Song (Tipsy)’ Isn’t No. 1 On The Hot 100

Back in July, Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for the first time. Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” then claimed the top spot the next week, but after that, it was all Shaboozey for a long time. “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” went on to spend 14 consecutive weeks at No. 1, since the chart dated July 27. Now, after 15 total weeks, “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” is no longer No. 1.

On the chart dated November 2, Morgan Wallen’s “Love Somebody” debuts in the top spot, knocking Shaboozey down to No. 2.

Ultimately, “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” has spent more time at No. 1 than any other song in 2024; The next closest is Post Malone and Wallen’s “I Had Some Help,” which enjoyed six weeks on top this year. On the all-time list for most weeks at No. 1, “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” is behind only Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus’ “Old Town Road” (19 weeks); Wallen’s “Last Night”; Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee, and Justin Bieber’s “Despacito”; and Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men’s “One Sweet Day” (16 weeks each). It’s also tied with Harry Styles’ “As It Was” at 15 weeks.

Elsewhere on the chart, Bruno Mars and Rosé’s “APT.” has the week’s biggest debut at No. 8. Mars and Lady Gaga’s “Die With A Smile” is also at No. 4, making this the first week Mars has had two top-10 singles since 2013, with “When I Was Your Man” and “Locked Out Of Heaven.”

Lil Durk Reveals Mind-Boggling Feature List For “Love Songs 4 The Streets 3”

by

Lil Durk continues to prove himself to be one of the most in-demand rappers in the world. He’s dropped hit singles, won Grammy Awards, and now he’s prepping for the release of his new album, Love Songs 4 the Streets 3. Durk has not only released the tracklist for the album, but the list of features as well. And we’ll be honest with you. The rapper might have the most eclectic and star-studded list of collabs of any rapper in 2024. Truly, Love Songs 4 the Streets 3 is going to be an incredible snapshot of this year in pop culture.

Let’s start with the most surprising features. Lil Durk has always linked up with other notable rappers. But nobody could have predicted that he would land a Sabrina Carpenter feature. Carpenter has been one of the breakout stars of 2024, if not the breakout star. It’ll be fascinating to hear how they sound together. The other names that are surprising to see on Lil Durk’s tracklist aren’t even rappers! iShowSpeed and Kai Cenat are two of the biggest streamers in the world. Yet, they will appear on the song “War Scars” together. We really have no clue what to expect there.

Lil Durk Seemingly Cut His Drake Collaboration

Where do you go after pop stars and streamers? Country, of course. Lil Durk is going to drip into another genre bag thanks to his Morgan Wallen collab “Come Home.” Rod Wave is also featured on what’s bound to be one of the biggest stylistic switch-ups of Durk’s entire career. Lil Baby and Future are slated to be on the songs “Sing this Song” and “Anti Hero,” respectively. Though their inclusion makes way more sense given the style Durk usually works in. The biggest question, though, revolves around the 6 God. Drake was supposed to be on the song “Discontinuing Wockhardt,” but it looks like he was cut from the album version. Since the other features are listed, it’s safe to assume Drake isn’t merely being hidden for dramatic effect.

Love Songs 4 the Streets 3 tracklist:

  1. Turn Up a Notch
  2. Timeless Love (featuring Sabrina Carpenter)
  3. Went Hollywood for a Year
  4. Truly Blessed
  5. War Scars (featuring iShowSpeed & Kai Cenat)
  6. Lose Control
  7. Come Home (featuring Rod Wave & Morgan Wallen)
  8. Anti Hero (featuring Future)
  9. Discontinuing Wockhardt
  10. That’s My Dawg
  11. Old Days
  12. Sing This Song (featuring Lil Baby)

Every week, Billboard unveils the top 10 songs on the latest Hot 100 chart. The most recent rankings, for the chart dated July 13, are out now, so let’s run down who had this week’s biggest hits.

10. Chappell Roan — “Good Luck, Babe!”

Chappell Roan doesn’t need luck, babe. Her viral April single becomes her first-ever top-10 placement on the Hot 100. Also this week, Chappell Roan’s 2023 album The Rise And Fall Of A Midwest Princess cracked the top five of the Billboard 200 for the first time.

9. Teddy Swims — “Lose Control”

Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control” remains at No. 9 for the fourth consecutive week. The song peaked at No. 1 to end March, and it has charted for nearly 50 weeks total.

8. Benson Boone — “Beautiful Things”

Like Teddy Swims, Benson Boone remains at No. 8, and “Beautiful Things” previously peaked at No. 2 on the chart dated March 30.

7. Hozier — “Too Sweet”

Sorry, another week-to-week repeater.

6. Sabrina Carpenter — “Please Please Please”

Sabrina Carpenter landed his first-career No. 1 on the Hot 100 with “Please Please Please” on the chart dated June 29. Last week, “Please Please Please” slid to No. 5, and now, it’s at No. 6.

5. Tommy Richman — “Million Dollar Baby”

Richman’s “Million Dollar Baby” swapped places with Carpenter’s “Please Please Please” from last week.

4. Sabrina Carpenter — “Espresso”

How “Espresso” wasn’t Carpenter’s first-ever No. 1 is beyond me, but it’s steady at No. 4 week-over-week. Its peak was No. 3 on the chart dated June 22.

3. Kendrick Lamar — “Not Like Us”

Thank you, Drake. Kendrick Lamar hasn’t been this visible between album cycles in ages. Lamar’s ruthless Drake diss track debuted at No. 1 on the Hot 100 chart dated May 18, and “Not Like Us” jumped from No. 6 to No. 3 last week. This week, it’s back at No. 3. The song isn’t going away anytime soon, as Lamar released the video on July 4.

2. Post Malone Feat. Morgan Wallen — “I Had Some Help”

Post Malone and Morgan Wallen’s “I Had Some Help” enjoyed its sixth nonconsecutive week at No. 1 last week, but it’s back down to No. 2 this week.

1. Shaboozey — “A Bar Song (Tipsy)”

At last! Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” has steadily climbed the Hot 100 since its April arrival. The unbelievably catchy country-pop tune leapfrogged from No. 3 (chart dated June 29) to No. 2 (July 6) and now, finally, No. 1. This is Shaboozey’s first-career No. 1 on the Hot 100.

According to Billboard, Shaboozey is now the first-ever Black male artist “to top both the Hot 100 and Hot Country Songs” and second Black artist overall behind only Beyoncé. The publication also relayed “A Bar Song (Tipsy) is the first song ever to chart in the top 10 across Country Airplay, Pop Airplay, Adult Pop Airplay, and Rhythmic Airplay. TLDR: It’s everywhere.

Post Malone Announced ‘F-1 Trillion,’ His First-Ever Country Album

Since 2022, not a year has passed since Post Malone has released an album. And this year is no different. Today (June 18), the Dallas-born artist has announced his sixth studio album, F1-Trillion.

Post announced the news via Instagram, in a post featuring a billboard, with a Ford F-150 logo, featuring the title written out in numerical form.

Ahead of the album, Post has released the Morgan Wallen collaboration, “I Had Some Help.” His Instagram bio indicated that his new single, “Pour Me A Drink” arrives this Friday (June 21).

Post has remained tight-lipped about the album, however, a press release accompanying “I Had Some Help” describe the upcoming record as “Post’s first-ever full-length country album.”

It was only a matter of time before Post gave a hand to country music. After all, his pop, hip-hop, and rock resume confirm that he cannot be put in a box.

But his versatile nature is a hallmark of his artistry, as he said in an interview with Esquire last year.

“You used to get trapped in one thing and you’re like, ‘Oh, well, this is all I listen to,’ ” Malone said. “And that’s what I think has made my career so interesting, just being able to f*cking take what I like and mix it in a way that is authentic to me.”

F1-Trillion is out 8/16 via Mercury/Republic. Find more information here.

MoneyBagg Yo Refines His Formula On New Album “SPEAK NOW”

by

MoneyBagg Yo knows what fans want from him. The Memphis rapper makes hard, trunk-rattling trap music. It’s what led to him breaking out in the 2010s, and what has kept him thriving in the 2020s. He’s scored top 20 hits on Billboard, scored a Grammy nomination, and worked with some of the biggest rap artists in the world. If it ain’t broke, there’s nothing to fix. That’s the approach MoneyBagg Yo takes on his new album, SPEAK NOW. And it works. This is not MoneyBagg Yo’s country pivot, despite sharing a title with a Taylor Swift album.

Fans might also be thrown off by the fact that the rapper has a duet with country superstar Morgan Wallen on the song “WHISKEY WHISKEY.” It’s an odd combination on paper, but it actually works pretty well, with Wallen blending pretty comfortably into MoneyBagg’s trap aesthetic. The other features on the album are veterans when it comes to riding hard-hitting beats, and they deliver accordingly. Chris Brown shines on the moody slow jam “DRUNK OFF U,” and Lil Durk proves that him and MoneyBagg still have great chemistry on “GANGSTAS RELATE.” That being said, SPEAK NOW is at its best when MoneyBagg Yo goes solo. “PLAY DA FOOL” and “SPEAK” are testaments to the repetitive, hypnotic pocket the rapper is able to tap into. Fans are going to like this one.

Let us know what you think of this brand-new track, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.

Post Malone Hints At A New Artistic Direction With “I Had Some Help” Featuring Morgan Wallen

by

There is no denying the star power that Post Malone possesses. No matter what genre he decides to dabble in, the Texas native always draws a crowd to anything he is attached to. Of course, fans of hip-hop and R&B were the first to discover his talents in the latter half of the 2010s decade with his breakout hit “White Iverson.” From there, he continued to evolve, and over the last year, Posty has begun to distance himself from the sound that put him on the map. This year has seen him collaborate with Beyonce for her take on country and bluegrass, COWBOY CARTER.

Now, Post Malone is trying his hand in the same playing field, but this time as the lead act on “I Had Some Help” with Morgan Wallen. According to Genius, this is the lead single for Austin Post’s full-on country album, which does not have a release date or title. According to Billboard, this song was previewed a handful of times over the last month or so. Once on Post’s social media platforms, as well as a live performance alongside the country superstar at Stagecoach, a country music festival in Indio, CA.

These two have been friends for some time now, so even though this is a first-time collab, it makes a lot of sense. On “I Had Some Help,” they are dealing with a breakup, but in this case, the singers are throwing their ladies under the bus. While Post and Morgan are taking accountability for them splitting up with their partners, they feel that each side is to blame. Be sure to check out the relationship cut with the links above.

Quotable Lyrics:

I had some help
It ain’t like I can make this kinda mess all by myself
Don’t act like you ain’t help me pull that bottle off the shelf
Been deep in every weekend if you couldn’t tell
They say, “Teamwork makes the dream work”
Hell, I had some help (Help)

Post Malone Previews His Debut Country Album With The Morgan Wallen Collaboration ‘I Had Some Help’

by

Post Malone started his career running in hip-hop circles before putting a greater emphasis on poppier music in recent albums. Now, he has another pivot coming, as indicated by his latest single: “I Had Some Help,” a collaboration with country superstar Morgan Wallen.

The midtempo tune, which isn’t short on twang, sees Malone reflecting on his shortcomings, singing on the chorus, “I had some help / It ain’t like I can make this kinda mess all by myself / Don’t act like you ain’t help me pull that bottle off the shelf / Been deep in every weekend if you couldn’t tell / They say, ‘Teamwork makes the dream work’ / Hell, I had some help.”

This isn’t just a one-off foray into country for Malone, either: A press release notes the song will be featured on his “first-ever full-length country album this year.” Additional information about that project hasn’t yet been shared.

The new single comes shortly after Malone was one of the highlights of this year’s Stagecoach festival. Uproxx’s Philip Cosores noted, “Though he first emerged through the world of SoundCloud rap, Posty has proven to be good at most things he tries. His own original music has veered into a genreless mélange that reflects the omnivorous tastes of many young music fans, while he’s proven to be adept at everything from Nirvana covers to acting. As a proud Texan, it’s not surprising that he would also slay as a country cover band, curating a set of radio hits that felt like a rowdy bar with a great house band or jukebox.”

Fans Are Raving About Post Malone’s Stagecoach 2024 Set And Hope That Country Music Is His Final Frontier

Post Malone 2024 Stagecoach Festival (1024x437)

Country music fans don’t quite have a reputation for being the most welcoming. However, this year’s Stagecoach (the genre’s largest festival) debunked that myth featuring an abundance of genre newbies and outside sounds.

Since the lineup for Stagecoach 2024 was announced, ticketholders were interested to see what Post Malone would bring to the main stage. Many hoped that he’d bring out his “Levii’s Jeans” collaborator, Beyoncé, for a surprise performance. Although that didn’t happen, yesterday (April 27), Post’s set still managed to win viewers over.

Joined by Dwight Yoakam, Brad Paisley, and Sara Evans, users at home are gung ho about Post moving full steam ahead with his venture into country. Across X (formerly Twitter), viewers flooded the platform to praise Post’s performance.

“If Post Malone takes these country covers on the road, take all of my money. That was badass,” wrote one user.

“I could have watched Post Malone play for hours,” penned another.

“Just saw Post Malone’s Stagecoach set was all 90s/2000s country. I will never recover from this 😭,” wrote another.

Paisley also took to his official page to share a kind note to his creative companion. “You belong here Posty 🤠,” he wrote.
