The song bows with 26.4 million chart-eligible streams earned in the United States in the week ending July 30, according to Luminate.
“Been By Now” marks Wallen’s sixth No. 1 on Streaming Songs and first since “What I Want,” featuring Tate McRae , led for six weeks between May and July 2025. (That song, incidentally, ranks at No. 32 on the latest survey with 7.8 million streams, up 5%.)
Wallen first reigned on Streaming Songs with 19-week No. 1 “Last Night” in 2023; like “What I Want,” it also appears on the most recent tally, at No. 36, with 7.5 million streams, up 3%.
“Been By Now” also starts at No. 1 on Country Streaming Songs , Wallen’s chart-leading 20th leader on the list, which began in 2013. Wallen’s next closest competitor, Taylor Swift , boasts seven rulers.
Concurrently, as previously reported , “Been By Now” starts at No. 2 on the multimetric Billboard Hot 100 and Hot Country Songs charts. It’s Wallen’s highest rank on either tally in 2026, eclipsing “I Can’t Love You Anymore,” his duet with Ella Langley , which has reached No. 4 on the former and No. 3 on the latter so far. “Been By Now” is blocked from the top spot on both by Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas.”
“Been By Now” is currently a standalone single from Wallen, whose fourth studio album, I’m the Problem , concurrently returns to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 for a 14th week, as previously reported .
