Benson Boone scores his second Pop Airplay top 10 with “Sorry, I’m Here for Someone Else,” which … More
Benson Boone’s album American Heart isn’t even out yet, but it’s already proving to be a true hitmaker. The set, expected in June, has produced a trio of singles — two of which have already become major radio wins in the United States.
The first of the bunch, “Sorry, I’m Here for Someone Else,” continues its ascent across a number of airplay tallies this week. As it climbs, it helps the singer-songwriter double his total number of successes inside the most competitive space on one very busy roster, which is regarded as one of the hardest to dominate.
Benson Boone’s New Top 10 Hit
“Sorry, I’m Here for Someone Else” lifts from No. 11 to No. 10 on the Pop Airplay chart this frame. It does so in its eleventh week, becoming Boone’s second career top 10 on the ranking of the most successful tunes at top 40 pop stations throughout the country. With this latest growth spurt, he instantly doubles his total number of appearances in that tier.
“Beautiful Things” Earned the Singer His First Top 10
Boone had previously only cracked the top 10 with “Beautiful Things.” That tune turned him into a pop phenomenon last year, and it spent four weeks at the summit.
“Beautiful Things” has gone on to rack up more stays on the Pop Airplay chart than all of Boone’s other hits combined. It managed 60 turns on the tally during its lifetime, while his other four have not collectively reached that milestone yet.
“Slow It Down” Missed the Top 10
Boone almost claimed a second top 10 hit on the Pop Airplay list in September 2024 with “Slow It Down.” The single, taken from his debut album Fireworks & Rollerblades, missed out on the loftiest tier by just one space, as it peaked at No. 11.
“Sorry, I’m Here for Someone Else” Peaks at Pop Radio
“Sorry, I’m Here for Someone Else” also steps up to a new peak on the Adult Pop Airplay tally. On that ranking, it has already entered the top 10, and this frame it moves north one more space — just as it does on the Pop Airplay list — reaching a new high point of No. 6. The cut is also steady at its all-time best showing of No. 19 on the Adult Contemporary roster.
“Mystical Magical” Has Yet to Impact Radio
Boone’s recent single “Mystical Magical” has yet to impact radio in America, even though it appears on several other Billboard rankings. Meanwhile, “Beautiful Things” is somehow still running the show on the Adult Contemporary chart, 63 weeks into its lifetime.
