Benson Boone’s “Sorry I’m Here for Someone Else” hits No. 7 on the Radio Songs chart, marking his … More
A little more than a year after he delivered his debut album Fireworks & Rollerblades, Benson Boone has returned with his sophomore follow-up. American Heart arrived on Friday (June 20), after months of promotion from the singer-songwriter.
Boone previewed the full-length with multiple singles throughout 2025. While not all of them became big hits in the United States, most gained real traction and found a home on the airwaves. As fans rush to hear the latest project from the Grammy-nominated star, Boone doubles his total number of wins on one of Billboard’s most competitive rankings.
“Sorry I’m Here for Someone Else” Hits a New High
This week, “Sorry I’m Here for Someone Else” enters the top 10 on the Radio Songs chart for the first time, in its fifteenth frame on Billboard’s list of the most successful tracks across all radio formats in the United States.
The single lifts from No. 11 to No. 7, hitting a new peak in the process. It’s only Boone’s second top 10 on the Radio Songs chart, following the incredible success of “Beautiful Things,” which turned him from an exciting new name in pop to a proper star.
That track peaked at No. 2 last May — and somehow, it’s still present. This week, “Beautiful Things” trails “Sorry I’m Here for Someone Else” by only a few spots, as it steps up a single rung to No. 15, sixty-eight frames into its time on the Radio Songs roster.
“Slow It Down” Also Reached the Same Chart
Throughout his career, Boone has collected only a trio of wins on the Radio Songs tally — and now, all but one have cracked the top 10. “Slow It Down,” a later single from Fireworks & Rollerblades, debuted in June 2024 and peaked at No. 27 by the end of the summer.
Benson Boone Scores Multiple Radio Hits
“Sorry I’m Here for Someone Else” lives on four of Billboard’s radio-focused rankings, and reaches new highs on three of them. In addition to the general all-genre Radio Songs chart, Boone’s track also climbs to never-before-seen peaks on both the Pop Airplay and Adult Pop Airplay tallies. It might even become a champion on the latter list in the coming weeks, as it currently appears in the runner-up spot.
At the same time, the track jumps to No. 20 on the Adult Contemporary chart, missing its all-time best showing by just one position.
