Benson Boone earns his eighth Hot 100 hit with “Mystical Magical” which opens inside the top 40 as … More
Benson Boone is in the midst of a very exciting and busy week on the Billboard charts. The singer-songwriter, who broke out in a major way in early 2024 with his smash “Beautiful Things,” is deep into the promotional cycle for his forthcoming sophomore album American Heart. That project is expected next month, and the Grammy-nominated musician has already delivered a pair of tunes from the set.
This frame, both of his latest singles stand out as hits in the U.S., and he even manages to live inside the top 10 once more — but not with some of his most recent material.
Benson Boone’s Hot 100 Smashes
Boone fills a trio of spaces on the Hot 100 this week. That list is Billboard’s ranking of the most consumed songs throughout the country, blending sales, streams, and radio activity. That’s a large number of spots for a musician who only broke out in a major way a little over a year ago. Amazingly, the tune that started it all and turned him into a proper superstar is still going strong in the U.S., and even outperforming those titles that are being pushed at the moment
“Mystical Magical” Debuts
Perhaps most excitingly, Boone scores a new hit on the Hot 100 this frame — and a new top 40 to boot. “Mystical Magical,” the second American Heart single, launches at No. 40 on the list. It’s his eighth placement on the competitive tally.
“Sorry, I’m Here for Someone Else” Hits a New Peak
“Mystical Magical” was preceded by another single titled “Sorry, I’m Here for Someone Else.” That track lifts one space from No. 34 to No. 33 on the current Hot 100, as Boone keeps promoting the tune and it’s serviced to radio stations throughout the country.
“Beautiful Things” is Still Living Inside the Top 10
While the focus for Boone at the moment is on both “Sorry, I’m Here for Someone Else” and “Mystical Magical,” Americans are still in love with “Beautiful Things.” This time around, the track even manages to climb one spot to No. 9 on the current edition of the Hot 100. That’s an incredible placement for a song that has now spent 66 weeks on the list.
Amazingly, “Beautiful Things” is present inside the top 10 on several other Billboard tallies as well. It even manages to hold at No. 1 on the Adult Contemporary radio roster, well over a year after it first became an airplay hit in America.
