Morgan Wallen Just Took Over the Country Charts Like No One Ever Has
It’s not even close anymore — Morgan Wallen just rewrote the rules.
The East Tennessee superstar just pulled off something no artist has ever done, not in country music, not in any genre: he owns every single spot in the Top 10 of Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart. That’s right. All. Ten. Spots. Locked down by one man.
This jaw-dropping feat comes on the heels of his monster new album I’m The Problem, which dropped like a hammer. With 37 tracks, the project debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, pulling in a staggering 493,000 equivalent album units in its first week. In 2025’s streaming era, that number is unheard of. Nearly half a million units in seven days? That’s not just a win — that’s domination.
The album is a sprawling collection of heartbreak anthems, Southern flexes, and late-night soul punches — and fans are clearly devouring every minute of it.
.@MorganWallen becomes the first artist in history to claim the entire top 10 of the #HotCountrySongs chart simultaneously:
No. 1, “What I Want” feat. @tatemcrae
No. 2, “Just in Case”
No. 3, “I’m The Problem”
No. 4 “I Got Better”
No. 5, “Superman”
No. 6, “Love Somebody”
No. 7,…— billboard charts (@billboardcharts) May 27, 2025
Wallen and McRae Lead the Pack
Topping the chart is Wallen’s duet with Canadian pop star Tate McRae, “What I Want.” It’s Wallen’s fourth No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and McRae’s first — though some of her pop fans are still scratching their heads over the collaboration. But while social media debates, Wallen is too busy sweeping the rest of the Top 10 with tracks like “Just In Case,” “I Got Better,” “Superman,” and the title track “I’m The Problem.”
And let’s be clear: this chart isn’t just about radio. Billboard’s Hot Country Songs blends streams, sales, and airplay. That means these aren’t label placements — they’re fan-powered wins. The people picked these songs. Loudly. Repeatedly.
A Commercial Earthquake
Sure, dropping 37 songs gives you a streaming boost. But no one else in the genre is pulling numbers like this — even with big track lists. And yeah, some might argue the album could’ve been trimmed down to 14 or 16 tighter songs. Still, it’s impossible to deny what’s happening. Wallen didn’t just release an album — he detonated a chart-topping bomb across country music.
Real Country or Not? The Charts Just Answered
For anyone still debating whether Morgan Wallen is “country enough,” the charts just lit up with a neon answer. Radio? Streaming? Downloads? He’s everywhere — and leading every platform. Again.
In a music landscape where listeners are supposed to cherry-pick singles and scroll past the filler, Wallen fans do the opposite. They dive into the full album, headphones on, lyrics pulled up, and live in it. That kind of connection? It’s rare. It’s messy. It’s real.
Love Him or Hate Him, This Is History
Like him or not, Morgan Wallen just made history — the first artist to ever dominate the entire Top 10 of Billboard’s Hot Country Songs. And judging by how hard he’s still hitting, it likely won’t be the last time.
