Wallen vs. Everybody The Month He Owned Country

Morgan Wallen Summer Is in Full Swing

Welcome to Morgan Wallen Summer, where the mullet king is doing what he does best—dominating the charts without breaking a sweat. His latest album, I’m the Problem, isn’t just popular… it’s everywhere.

The song collection I’m the Problem blasts in atop Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart (dated May 31), as well as the all-genre Billboard 200. That’s not a country takeover—it’s a full-blown musical sweep.

A Bigger Album, a Bigger Win

Wallen’s I’m the Problem packs even more punch than his last LP, adding one extra track to the mix. That little bonus? Just another reason fans can’t stop streaming.

The album earns him his fourth No. 1 on the Top Country Albums chart and third on the Billboard 200. From Sneedville, Tenn., to global stardom—this guy just keeps leveling up.

The Biggest Week of 2025? Yep, That’s Wallen

In its first week alone (May 16–22), I’m the Problem pulled in a jaw-dropping 493,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. That’s not just impressive—it’s officially the biggest week of 2025, per Luminate.

While others are chasing streams, Wallen’s out here setting the bar. Should we start measuring time in B.W. and A.W.—Before Wallen and After Wallen?

Wallen’s Best Sales Week Ever—Vinyl and All

I’m the Problem (via Big Loud/Mercury/Republic) moved 133,000 pure sales in its first week. That’s not just strong—it’s Morgan Wallen’s biggest sales week of his entire career.

Even vinyl fans showed up in full force, helping him move a personal-best 48,000 LPs. Who said country fans don’t love their record players?

Wallen Breaks His Own Record… Again

On the Hot Country Songs chart, which blends streaming, airplay, and sales, Wallen just pulled off a full-on chart invasion. He’s got 36 tracks on there—all from I’m the Problem.

That’s the largest one-week share in the chart’s history, breaking a record he already held. At this point, is he competing with anyone but himself?

Wallen Keeps the Charts Fully Booked

Back in March 2023, Wallen had 35 songs charting when One Thing at a Time debuted at No. 1. That was already a wild achievement, but he wasn’t done climbing.

Now, 36 songs from I’m the Problem dominate the Hot Country Songs chart. The only missing one, “Lies Lies Lies,” peaked at No. 3 last year and wrapped its run in January.

Wallen and Tate McRae? Instant Hit.

“What I Want,” Morgan Wallen’s first-ever collab with a female artist, is a straight-up rocket. Featuring pop star Tate McRae, the track blasts in at No. 1 on Hot Country Songs.

It becomes his 11th career chart-topper and his eighth to debut at No. 1—a record he just keeps stretching. Could this crossover magic be the new formula?

Tate McRae Enters Country—and Enters on Top

At just 21, Tate McRae is making major waves with her first step into country music. “What I Want” is her genre debut—and boom, it’s already No. 1 on Hot Country Songs.

The track opened with 31.2 million U.S. streams, 3.9 million in airplay, and 2,000 sold. Oh, and by the way? It also debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Wallen Takes Down a Hip-Hop Giant

In a plot twist no one saw coming, Morgan Wallen just dethroned Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s “Luther” on the Billboard Hot 100. That track had ruled for 13 straight weeks—until Wallen showed up.

Wallen’s country crossover just ended one of the year’s biggest hip-hop streaks. Who knew twang could take down a titan?

Wallen Owns the Entire Top 10—Literally

With five fresh debuts in the Hot Country Songs top 10, I’m the Problem now boasts a record-breaking 13 top 10 hits. Yes, from one album—three of them even hit No. 1.

On the May 31 chart, Wallen filled all ten spots in the top 10, beating his own 2023 record of nine. At this point, does Billboard even need a top 10 graphic?

40 Top 10s—And Counting

Morgan Wallen just hit his 40th career top 10 on the Hot Country Songs chart. That’s not a streak—that’s a storm system.

Since his first entry back in 2018 with “Up Down” featuring Florida Georgia Line, he’s been unstoppable. For context? Only a handful of country artists—like Luke Combs and Kane Brown—come close in terms of recent chart consistency.

The Holy Hit Coming for Wallen’s Throne?

Just when you thought Morgan Wallen had this month’s Top 40 locked down, here comes a wildcard. Christian singer Brandon Lake teams up with Jelly Roll on “Hard Fought Hallelujah”—and it’s making serious noise.

The song was bubbling under last month, but now it’s one of the most purchased singles across all genres. Could divine intervention be the thing that knocks Wallen off the top?

From Controversy to Country’s Crown Jewel

Despite facing his share of backlash over the years, Morgan Wallen’s star hasn’t just survived—it’s exploded. Love him or not, there’s no denying his place at the top.

His record-breaking week highlights how country music is booming—and Wallen’s been driving that surge for the last five years. He’s not just riding the wave; he’s making it.

The Streaming King of Country

Sure, the streaming era’s been kind to artists like Luke Combs and Zach Bryan—but let’s be honest, Wallen’s in a league of his own. No one’s racking up numbers like he is.

Even before I’m the Problem, he topped charts with Dangerous and One Thing at a Time—both still hanging out in the top 15. Longevity? He’s got it in spades.

Wallen’s $200 Million Power Play

Morgan Wallen isn’t just topping charts—he’s cashing massive checks, too. Big Loud, his record label, just sold a minority stake in his catalog for a jaw-dropping $200 million.

The deal, backed by UMG’s Chord Music Partners, proves Wallen’s songs are more than hits—they’re long-term gold. At this point, his voice might be worth more than oil.

Fans Feel Every Word—and They’re Letting Him Know

After releasing a raw performance video of “I’m the Problem,” Wallen had fans in their feelings—deep. The clip racked up over 3 million views fast, but it’s the comments that hit hardest.

“This song isn’t just lyrics… it’s accountability, regret, and heartbreak,” one wrote. Another called his voice their favorite ever, adding, “He is on my bucket list. Fan for life.”
