Morgan Wallen Returns to #1 on Billboard 200 Chart

Morgan Wallen’s reign at the top of the Billboard charts continues strong. This week, I’m the Problem climbs back to #1 on the Billboard 200 chart, marking its 10th nonconsecutive week at the summit. According to Billboard, Wallen earned 136,000 equivalent album units last week based on Luminate data.

Tying Legendary Records

In total, Wallen’s three #1 albums — I’m the Problem, One Thing at a Time, and Dangerous: The Double Album — have spent 39 weeks at #1 on the Billboard 200. Remarkably, this feat ties him with Elton John for the fourth-most weeks at #1 among male artists since the chart began weekly publication in 1956.

Standing Among Music Icons

Wallen now shares the spotlight with legends like Elvis Presley (67 weeks), Garth Brooks (52), Michael Jackson (51), and others. Notably, The Beatles hold the record with 132 weeks at #1 across 19 albums, placing Wallen among the greatest.

Billboard Chart Milestones

Specifically, I’m the Problem has spent 10 weeks at #1. Meanwhile, One Thing at a Time ruled for 19 nonconsecutive weeks in 2023-24. Additionally, Dangerous: The Double Album stayed at #1 for 10 straight weeks in 2021. These milestones show Wallen’s consistent chart dominance.

Exclusive Club of Chart-Toppers

Only six acts, including Wallen, boast three albums each spending at least 10 weeks at #1. This elite group includes The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Whitney Houston, The Kingston Trio, and Taylor Swift. Significantly, Wallen is the only artist to spend at least 10 weeks at #1 with three consecutive full-length albums.

Streaming Success and Collaborations

With 37 songs, I’m the Problem has dominated both radio and streaming platforms this year. Furthermore, the album features collaborations with Eric Church, Ernest, Hardy, and Canadian pop star Tate McRae on the duet “What I Want.” This marks Wallen’s first major collaboration with a female artist.

Criticism and Fan Support

While some critics argue that nearly 40 songs dilute the album’s quality, many fans clearly love the project. Some feel a shorter 14-song album would have been a stronger country record. Nevertheless, Wallen’s unprecedented success proves that the audience is engaged and supportive.

Upcoming Tour Dates and Lineup

Wallen’s I’m The Problem tour continues this weekend in Cleveland, Ohio, at Huntington Bank Field. Miranda Lambert will open the show. Meanwhile, Ella Langley’s replacement is yet to be announced after she announced a break for the rest of August.
