Morgan Wallen Is The No.1 In The Billboard 200 Again

Again, Morgan Wallen proves that he’s not just a chart-topper — he’s a chart dominator. The country juggernaut’s latest album, I’m the Problem, holds steady at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Wallen keeps the position for a second consecutive week. Thus, it follows a blockbuster debut that marked the biggest opening week for any album this year. In its second frame, I’m the Problem tallied 286,000 equivalent album units in the U.S., according to

Luminate — a modest 42% dip from its 493,000-unit debut. That second-week drop is notably slim by industry standards, making it the smallest sophomore slide. The last to post a softer decline? 21 Savage’s American Dream, which dipped 41% in March.

Yet, Morgan Wallen doesn’t stop at chart-topping. In a feat rarely seen outside the Taylor Swift universe, Wallen now boasts three albums simultaneously in the top 10. So fans can stream I’m the Problem (No. 1), One Thing at a Time (No. 4), and Dangerous: The Double Album (No. 10). Thus, it’s the first time the country star has pulled off this triple crown, and he joins a short list of artists to do so. He is next to include Kendrick Lamar and, going further back, Herb Alpert in 1966.

Morgan Wallen Stepping Next to Major Artists

Thus, streaming continues to drive Wallen’s dominance, with I’m the Problem also landing a second week at No. 1. Meanwhile, it remains a top Album Sales despite an expected 79% drop in physical and digital purchases.

So, beyond Wallen’s three-title takeover, the rest of the top 10 is stacked with familiar names. SZA’s SOS holds firm at No. 2, Kendrick Lamar’s GNX climbs to No. 3. Following them is Playboi Carti’s MUSIC, which makes a dramatic leap from No. 18 to No. 5. Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet steps to No. 6.

Hence, Wallen’s 2021 breakout double album, Dangerous, continues its marathon run, returning to the top 10 with 30,000 units. With that, Morgan Wallen becomes only the second living male artist in nearly six decades to claim three simultaneous top 10 albums. Thu, he steps on the heels of Lamar and follows the trail blazed by Taylor Swift, who’s pulled the feat 22 times.

The only other modern act to pull off three or more albums in the top 10 without the context of a posthumous tribute? In the wake of his passing in 201, Prince6 briefly commanded five albums in the top 10.

So, as Wallen cements his standing as one of the dominant forces in contemporary music, not just country, his triple-chart presence underscores a rare crossover staying power. In an era where attention spans are fleeting, and trends turn overnight, Wallen is building something far sturdier: legacy.
