AI-synthesized · Bias removed · Facts only

Magnus Ferrell, son of actor Will Ferrell, has achieved his first Billboard hit with the single “Asleep Talking” after a boost from his father showcasing the song to Michelle Obama.

Two weeks ago, Will Ferrell played his 22-year-old son’s single on former First Lady Michelle Obama’s “IMO” podcast. Following that exposure, Magnus Ferrell scored his first hit on the Billboard charts.

According to the article, Magnus knew his father intended to play the song but was still surprised by the outcome. "I did know he was going to do that, but I didn’t…" he stated, with the quote trailing off in the source material. The artist indicated that this moment felt like the right time for increased attention on his music, stating, “I finally felt ready to have a spotlight on it.”

The article does not provide details about which Billboard chart the song landed on or its specific ranking.
