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.

Watch Benson Boone Embrace His Haters in Joke-Filled ‘Mr. Electric Blue' Music Video
Since blasting onto the scene with his breakthrough hit 'Beautiful Things,' Benson Boone has become the internet's favorite punching bag. But instead of trying to prove them wrong, the singer decided to lean in with his latest music video. On Friday (June 20), Boone dropped the tongue-in-cheek music video for his new song 'Mr. Electric Blue,' off his just-released LP American Heart. From the start of the clip, Boone goes out of his way to play with all the worst things the internet has to say about him when he walks into 'Industry Plant Records' wearing a t-shirt that simply says 'one hit wonder' for a frank conversation with his sleazy agent (played by his frequent songwriting collaborator Jack LaFrantz). More from Billboard Sabrina Carpenter, SZA, Ariana Grande Win Multiple Awards at 2025 Kids' Choice Awards (Full Winners List) Dua Lipa Brings Surprise Guest Charli XCX to the Stage for '360' in London Suga Writes Letter to Fans, Marking End of Mandatory Military Service for BTS 'Have you not been on the internet? Everything is terrible, Benson! We put all of our money into 'moonbeam ice cream' and the backflip, and it's done absolutely horrible,' LaFrantz's character tells an exasperated Boone. He informs the singer that he owes his faux label $10 million, and suggests that he find 'a new gimmick' like 'good songwriting.' At the suggestion, Boone deflates: 'You know I can't do that.' What ensues is a madcap montage, where Boone takes as many odd jobs as he can to raise the money. He walks dogs (while wearing another T-shirt that says ''), mows lawns (for a company called 'Auto-Tune Trimmers'), washes cars (with bumper stickers declaring 'mustaches are lame') sells his sparkly jumpsuits and even opens a moonbeam ice cream truck. Of course, that still doesn't stop the criticism from coming — when he's recognized by a little girl as 'the guy who sings 'Beautiful Things,'' she quickly humbles him: 'Your music is terrible.' For his hustling and hard work, Boone makes a grand total of $168, but begs LaFrantz's agent to give him another chance. But his agent assures him that he found a better solution, saying he 'sold your entire catalog to retail chains, fast food chains and movie theaters,' promising that 'you'll be the most overplayed artist in the world, and I'll be rich.' A dejected Boone sighs and smiles, saying 'that's all I've ever wanted,' before celebrating his ubiquity. It's far from the first time Boone has commented on the way people perceive him. The singer posted a TikTok back in April, explaining that he could understand people not liking him or his music if there were more people offering concrete reasons for their distaste. 'I just read a comment that said 'idek why I hate Benson Boone but it feels right,'' he wrote on the video. 'Like WHAT!!? how am I supposed to improve after reading that? At least say something valid like 'he low key just flips everywhere can he [do] anything else?'' Watch the full video for Boone's 'Mr. Electric Blue' above.

Friday Music Guide: New Music From Karol G, Benson Boone, Cardi B, Haim and More
Billboard's Friday Music Guide serves as a handy guide to this Friday's most essential releases — the key music that everyone will be talking about today, and that will be dominating playlists this weekend and beyond. This week, Karol G explores Latin history, Benson Boone's Heart beats loudly, and Cardi B is ready to take the gloves off. Check out all of this week's picks below: More from Billboard The Ultimate Latin Playlist For a Feel-Good Summer 2025: Listen Jelly Roll & Brandon Lake's 'Hard Fought Hallelujah' Collab Certified Platinum Nick Cannon Forgets Two of His 12 Kids' Names While Trying to List Them: 'I Usually Get in Trouble' Karol G, In the lead-up to Tropicoqueta, Karol G has been candid when discussing how 2023's smash hit Mañana Será Bonito and its coinciding world tour left her wondering what the best next step would be for her long-term future; it turns out that the answer was in the past, as Tropicoqueta reveals more of Karol's backstory while also exploring and celebrating different strands of Latin music, creating a curious, wholly absorbing new chapter. Benson Boone, If 'Beautiful Things' changed the trajectory of Benson Boone's pop career, then American Heart, his new album released more than a year after his breakthrough smash, represents the crystallization of everything we've learned about the backflipping, big-voiced singer-songwriter in the interim: the 10-song project is relatively short but full of theatrical spunk, as Boone prowls across each song with feeling and determination. Cardi B, 'Outside' A long-awaited new Cardi B track titled 'Outside,' released on the cusp of summer, might be perceived as a new warm-weather anthem from an artist who's had a few of them — but the single is instead a cutthroat diss track at an estranged romantic partner, with Cardi using her clout and cunning ('Favorite player from your favorite team, he in my DMs!' she exclaims) to move on personally and artistically. Haim, By releasing a new album every four years, Danielle, Alana and Este Haim have been able to take their time expertly crafting the pop-rock melodies that they've always traded in, and the overarching themes of the full-lengths that house them. With I Quit, 2021's masterful Women In Music Pt. III receives a follow-up full of airtight compositions, housed within a full-length statement about moving on from unnecessary details in order to appreciate our limited time on Earth. Sombr, 'We Never Dated' 'I can't make you love me,' Sombr repeats on new single 'We Never Dated,' approaching a time-honored theme in pop songwriting with Beach Boys-esque vocal harmonies and a modern sense of tenacity; with breakthrough hits 'Undressed' and 'Back to Friends,' the teen star was able to reinvigorate a classic alternative sound for 2025, and 'We Never Dated' continues that balancing act with aplomb. Megan Moroney, '6 Months Later' Megan Moroney's songwriting has rapidly sharpened over the past few years, as a line like 'What doesn't kill you calls you six months later' on her new single makes for a devastatingly funny eye-roll toward an ex — but the real attraction here is Moroney's voice, full of weariness when recalling a breakup and packing smoky, sarcastic personality in each syllable, on a song that the rising country star soundly commands. Fred again.., Skepta & PlaqueBoyMax, 'Victory Lap' After playing a surprise show together in Brooklyn earlier this week, Fred again.. and Skepta have commemorated the unexpected team-up with a summer-ready single: 'Victory Lap' is a restless, scorching dance cut, with the fusion of Fred and Skepta's respective energies producing a slickly rhymed, garage-adjacent banger that does not stop moving. Editor's Pick: Lorde, 'Hammer' The third and final pre-release single from Lorde's Virgin begins with what sounds like out-of-focus chatter, before the pop star's voice barges in to provide clarity: 'There's a heat in the pavement, my mercury's raising / Don't know if it's love, or if it's ovulation.' Lorde has long been a wry, literary songwriter, and throughout 'Hammer' — the album track, which she described as 'an ode to city life and horniness' — she once again captures universal feelings in striking, singular fashion.
