Post Malone’s “Pour Me a Drink,” featuring Blake Shelton, tops Billboard’s Country Airplay survey (dated Oct. 19) for a second week. The team-up advanced by 12% to 31.3 million audience impressions Oct. 4-10, according to Luminate.
The song, which Malone co-wrote, became his second Country Airplay No. 1, after “I Had Some Help,” featuring Morgan Wallen, reigned for four frames beginning in June. Both hits are from his introductory LP in the genre, F-1 Trillion, which rolled in at No. 1 on the Aug. 31-dated Top Country Albums chart and the all-genre Billboard 200 with 250,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. The set has earned 1.2 million units over its first seven weeks of release.
“Pour Me a Drink” marks Shelton’s 29th Country Airplay No. 1, a run that started when his first entry, “Austin,” ruled for five frames in 2001. He adds his 18th leader to dominate for multiple weeks; “Austin” is his longest-leading hit, followed by “Honey Bee” (four weeks, 2011) and “Some Beach” (four, 2004-05). The only acts with more multiweek No. 1s are Tim McGraw and George Strait, each with 21, and Kenny Chesney, with 20 (of his overall-record 33 leaders).
Meanwhile, of the 20 songs that have reached the Country Airplay pinnacle in 2024, “Pour Me a Drink” is just the sixth to boast a multiframe command. In 2023, 12 of 19 No. 1s led for more than one week.
Post Malone charts an additional song on Country Airplay: fellow F-1 Trillion track “A Guy for That,” featuring Luke Combs, holds at its No. 26 high (6.6 million, up 6%).
