Post Malone’s Blake Shelton-featuring “Pour Me a Drink” ascends two places to the top shelf of Billboard’s Country Airplay chart (dated Oct. 12). The collaboration advanced by 5% to 27.9 million audience impressions Sept. 27-Oct. 3, according to Luminate.
The song, which Post Malone co-wrote, is his second Country Airplay No. 1, after “I Had Some Help,” featuring Morgan Wallen, dominated for four frames beginning in June. Both hits are from his introductory LP in the genre, F-1 Trillion, which motored 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 United States. The set has earned 1.1 million units over its first six weeks of release.
Post Malone charts an additional song, and a third career top 40 entry, on Country Airplay: Fellow F-1 Trillion track “A Guy for That,” featuring Luke Combs, rebounds a spot to its No. 26 high (6.3 million, up 12%).
Shelton hoists his 29th Country Airplay No. 1, a run that started with his initial appearance, “Austin,” in 2001. He nets his first leader since “Happy Anywhere,” featuring his then-future wife Gwen Stefani, in December 2020. Shelton ties Tim McGraw for the second-most chart-toppers since the survey began in 1990. Kenny Chesney leads all acts with 33 No. 1s.
Wallen, Parmalee Notch New Top 10s
Morgan Wallen earns his 17th Country Airplay top 10 as “Lies Lies Lies” climbs 11-9 (18 million, up 12%). It follows his “Cowgirls” (featuring ERNEST), which became his 14th No. 1 in July.
Plus, Parmalee’s “Gonna Love You” hops 13-10 on Country Airplay (16.6 million, up 6%). The group adds its seventh top 10, following “Girl in Mine,” which hit No. 3 last October, and “Take My Name,” which became the act’s third No. 1 in June 2022.
