A month into its run on the Billboard charts, Benson Boone’s sophomore album American Heart continues to descend. This week, the set falls outside the top 40 on both the Top Album Sales and Top Streaming Albums rankings, and it comes dangerously close to slipping from that region on the Billboard 200.

Several singles from the project are still performing relatively well — one even reaches a new peak on several tallies — but the spotlight remains, as always, on “Beautiful Things.” The track that turned Boone into a household name is somehow still reigning supreme in America.

“Beautiful Things” Flips Back to No. 1

To this day, “Beautiful Things” remains a hit, jumping back into first place on the Adult Contemporary radio list. In the previous frame, the tune held in the runner-up spot behind “Lose Control” by Teddy Swims, another historic leader to emerge in the past year. This time around, the two swap spots, with Boone hitting No. 1 again.

Benson Boone’s Hit Has Now Charted for 73 Weeks

“Beautiful Things” has now spent 73 weeks on the Adult Contemporary chart. That’s a long time, even for a ranking known for its lengthy stays. The global smash has led the tally for 13 nonconsecutive frames. It first climbed to No. 1 in March and has risen and fallen since, but it’s never strayed too far from the summit.

“Beautiful Things” Last Ruled Less Than a Month Ago

It was just a few weeks ago, on the chart dated July 12, that “Beautiful Things” last claimed the throne. That week, “Beautiful Things” sat at No. 1 while “Lose Control” was pushed to second place. Then, the two traded positions, and “Lose Control” has ruled ever since, until this period.

Benson Boone Lands Three Adult Contemporary Hits

Boone currently occupies three spots on the Adult Contemporary ranking, with his oldest hit being the biggest. “Sorry, I’m Here for Someone Else” climbs to a new all-time high of No. 11, while fellow American Heart single “Mystical Magical” debuts at No. 25. Boone earns his fifth career win on this list as the latter track arrives.

All Three Singles Appear on Pop Radio Charts

Both “Sorry, I’m Here for Someone Else” and “Mystical Magical” have now landed on all three of Billboard’s pop radio rankings. Those two tracks — as well as “Beautiful Things” — also live on the all-genre Radio Songs tally.
