Shattering records across the country music landscape, Morgan Wallen has achieved unprecedented chart dominance in 2025, becoming the first artist in history to simultaneously claim all ten positions in Billboard’s Hot Country Songs top 10. This remarkable feat comes as part of a larger takeover that sees the singer holding an astonishing 36 tracks on the Hot Country Songs chart at once, establishing a new industry benchmark that may prove difficult for contemporaries to approach.
Wallen’s latest album, *I’m the Problem*, has proven to be a commercial juggernaut, producing 13 Top 10 hits with three reaching the coveted No. 1 position. Tracks like “What I Want,” “Just in Case,” and the title track have occupied the chart’s upper echelon concurrently, a demonstration of the artist’s extraordinary cultural resonance.
With thirteen Top 10 hits and chart-topping dominance, Wallen’s *I’m the Problem* showcases unprecedented cultural impact in country music.
The album’s streaming numbers tell an equally impressive story, accumulating 290 million song streams and 246,000 consumption units in its debut week alone. Spotify has recognized Wallen as 2025’s most-streamed country artist globally, with his total streams surpassing the 15 billion mark this year. His latest single “What I Want” featuring Tate McRae has not only debuted at No. 1 but also represents Wallen’s record-extending eighth song to premiere at the top position.
His collaborative single with pop artist Tate McRae, “What I Want,” generated 22 million streams in a single week, while other tracks like “Just in Case” and “I Got Better” consistently stream in the tens of millions weekly. His success story is particularly remarkable considering he was once rejected from The Voice in 2014, using that setback as motivation to build his now-legendary career.
The singer’s dominance extends beyond streaming platforms to live performances, with his 2025 tour being named the top-grossing country tour up to this point. His team has strategically used pre-save campaigns to build anticipation before each release, contributing significantly to his first-week streaming numbers. Selling out major venues like Nissan Stadium and AT&T Stadium, Wallen has demonstrated crossover appeal that transcends traditional country music audiences. Industry analysts note that his diverse income approach, including sync deals for his music in major film productions, has significantly contributed to his financial success.
Strategic collaborations with mainstream artists including Post Malone have further broadened Wallen’s reach, with tracks like “I Ain’t Coming Back” charting in the top 10. Meanwhile, his previous album *One Thing at a Time* continues its impressive run, holding the No. 1 position on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart for over 50 consecutive weeks.
