Country music powerhouse Morgan Wallen has claimed yet another chart victory, as his confessional ballad “I’m the Problem” sits firmly at No. 1 across multiple Billboard charts. The hit single, which has maintained its top position for an impressive 11 consecutive weeks, continues to dominate the US Billboard Hot Country Songs, US Country Airplay, and Canada Country charts simultaneously, a rare feat in today’s fragmented music landscape.
Released in early 2025 through Big Loud, Republic, and Mercury Records, the track has demonstrated remarkable crossover appeal by peaking at No. 2 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100. International audiences have embraced the single as well, with strong showings in Australia (ARIA #21), Canada (Canadian Hot 100 #3), and Global 200 (#15), while European markets including Ireland, Norway, Sweden, and the UK have all placed the song within their respective top 60 rankings.
Wallen’s crossover success extends globally, with “I’m the Problem” breaking into international charts while dominating at home.
The parent album, also titled “I’m the Problem,” has enjoyed equally impressive commercial success, achieving the largest charting and streaming week of any album in 2025 by May with 493,000 equivalent album units sold. His massive commercial success has continued as Wallen’s singles now occupy the top three positions on the Hot 100 simultaneously. Wallen’s strategic 37-track release has paid dividends, allowing him to simultaneously place 37 songs on the Billboard Hot 100, breaking his own previous record for the most songs by a single artist on that chart at one time. The album’s massive success was evident immediately, as it broke streaming records within just one day of its release.
Industry analysts note that despite the challenging music market of 2025, Wallen has managed to reclaim the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 multiple times, including a ninth nonconsecutive week by early August. The album’s producer Joey Moi, alongside songwriters Charlie Handsome and Ernest, have crafted what many consider a quintessential country breakup song that resonates deeply with Wallen’s dedicated fanbase. Wallen’s team has expertly utilized playlist pitching strategies across major streaming platforms to maintain the song’s prominence and drive continued engagement. Beyond streaming success, Wallen has capitalized on sync deals by licensing tracks from the album for several high-profile television commercials and sports broadcasts.
Most remarkably, Wallen continues to maintain high chart positions with his previous releases “One Thing at a Time” and “Dangerous: The Double Album,” cementing his status as a commercial juggernaut capable of multi-album dominance rarely seen in country music history.
