Ross co-authored 'Single Again' with Joe Fox and Brad Rempel, and Matt Geroux produced it. (Fellow Canadian Rempel is a member of the group High Valley, which has notched 20 top 10s on Canada Country, in 2012-24.)
Notably, 'Single Again' reaches the Country Airplay top 10 in its 60th week on the chart, wrapping the third-longest trip to the tier since the survey launched in January 1990. In April 2023, Brett Young's 'You Didn't' reached its No. 10 high in 70 weeks, while Chase Matthew's 'Love You Again' hit No. 10 in 62 frames (before peaking at No. 9).
Morgan Wallen's 'I'm the Problem' tops Country Airplay for a sixth total and consecutive week (31.7 million, down 1%). It became the third No. 1 from his album of the same name, ahead of its release May 16, following 'Love Somebody' (three weeks in February) and 'Lies Lies Lies' (one week, November). His latest single being promoted to country radio, 'Just in Case,' rises 15-13 (14.8 million, up 8%).
'I'm the Problem' is the third of Wallen's 17 Country Airplay No. 1s to reign for six frames or more, after 'You Proof,' which shares the record for most time on top (10 weeks, 2022-23), and 'Last Night' (eight weeks, 2023).
Five total cuts from I'm the Problem are scaling Country Airplay, with the title track and 'Just in Case' followed in the top 40 by 'I Ain't Coming Back,' with Post Malone (43-32; 2.9 million, up 48%). The other two debut: 'What I Want' featuring Tate McRae (No. 55; 897,000), and 'Superman' (No. 58; 846,000).
All charts dated May 31 will update Wednesday, May 28, on Billboard.com (one day later than usual due to the Memorial Day holiday May 26).

Major Taylor Swift News Breaks After Big Career Announcement
Major Taylor Swift News Breaks After Big Career Announcement originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Friday was a day that Taylor Swift and her fans won't soon forget. Less than 12 hours after being spotted out in New York City at Italian hotspot Via Carota in West Village without boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, who was in Kansas City training with the Chiefs having started OTAs, Swift made a major personal announcement on Instagram. In news that some of her fans expected thanks to a previous report from Page Six, Swift announced that she bought back the masters of her first six albums, 'Taylor Swift,' 'Fearless,' 'Speak Now,' 'Red,' '1989' and 'Reputation.' Billboard reported the acquisition cost Swift a hefty $360 million. Swift also revealed that while most of her fans were anxiously awaiting her to announce the release date of her 'Reputation (Taylor's Version)' album that she had some disappointing news for them. 'I know, I know. What about Rep TV?' Swift wrote. 'Full transparency: I haven't even re-recorded a quarter of it. The Reputation album was so specific to that time in my life, and I kept hitting a stopping point when I tried to remake it. 'All that defiance, that longing to be understood while feeling purposely misunderstood, that desperate hope, that shame-born snarl and mischief. To be perfectly honest, it's the one album in those first 6 that I thought couldn't be improved upon by redoing it. Not the music, or photos, or videos. So I kept putting it off. With news that a re-release of 'Reputation' likely wasn't happening, Swift's fans took matters into their own hands, and some pretty big news broke after she announced she had bought back her masters. 'Taylor Swift's 'Reputation' has returned #1 on US iTunes following masters announcement,' the @ChartData X account posted. Swift dethroned Morgan Wallen's 'I'm the Problem' album, which debuted at No. 1 on May 16. Released in 2017, 'Reputation' spent four weeks at No. 1 on the iTunes chart after its release. The album went three times platinum and has sold 2.478 million copies in the United States. Though Swift has been doing her best to stay out of the spotlight following Super Bowl LIX, it's clear following Friday's announcement that's no longer the case. She and Kelce were spotted having a public date night last weekend, and with the NFL season right around the corner, fans will likely see her at Arrowhead Stadium quite a bit in story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on May 31, 2025, where it first appeared.

Eminem Joins Kendrick Lamar With Multiple Top 10 Bestsellers
Eminem's 'Shake That' returns to the R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales chart, joining 'Lose Yourself' ... More as the rapper doubles up on the tally. UNSPECIFIED - JANUARY 01: Photo of EMINEM (Photo by Sal Idriss/Redferns) Eminem stands out from so many other rappers thanks to his ability to continuously sell music from his catalog, and not just see it perform well on streaming platforms. He demonstrates that ability again this week, as one of his singles returns to a Billboard list focused solely on pure purchases, and it joins one of his all-time classics in doing so. The rapper matches one of the most exciting superstars in his chosen field today as he doubles up on the tally. "Shake That," Eminem's collaboration with Nate Dogg, returns to the R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales chart this week. The cut barely manages to reenter the ranking of the bestselling tunes that can be classified as R&B, rap, or hip-hop in the U.S., landing in last place. "Shake That" joins "Lose Yourself," which lifts one space to No. 7. As "Shake That" returns, Eminem joins Kendrick Lamar as the only two musicians to occupy more than one space on the R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales list. Lamar claims twice as many current wins as Eminem, with four current smashes. Lamar also manages to rank higher than Eminem this period – though both of the latter musician's current bestsellers are much, much older than Lamar's. His tunes "Luther" with SZA, "Not Like Us," and "Put TV Off" with Lefty Gunplay and 'Squabble Up' appear at Nos. 4, 6, 9, and 11, respectively. A number of other hip-hop powerhouses manage to remain on the R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales chart as well, but at the moment, none fill more than a single space. "Anxiety" by Doechii leads for its fourth frame, which represents the entirety of its time on the roster. Drake's former No. 1 "Nokia" dips to third place, landing just ahead of Lamar's highest-rising success. Several other well-known figures like The Weeknd, Playboi Carti, and Pharrell Williams also take up space with former champions. "Shake That" was released decades ago, but has recently surged in popularity after going viral. The tune peaked at No. 8 earlier this month and is one of Eminem's 69 top 10 hits on the tally. "Lose Yourself," which has now spent 468 frames somewhere on this roster, has somehow only ever peaked at No. 2.

Morgan Wallen Matches Taylor Swift's Historic Chart Feat
Morgan Wallen is the king of the Hot 100 this week. No matter how one looks at the numbers, the country superstar dominates the ranking of the most popular songs in the United States, with dozens of tracks taken from his new No. 1 album, I'm the Problem. As his deluge of music arrives, the singer-songwriter matches a feat only one other artist in American history has accomplished. Wallen fills 37 spots on the Hot 100 this frame. That's a new all-time record for the most real estate ever claimed by a single artist on the list at one time. He bests his own previously-set mark of 36 wins on the Hot 100, which he managed during one frame in March 2023. Wallen is now only the second musical act in the history of the Billboard charts to claim 30 wins on the Hot 100 simultaneously on more than one occasion. He joins Taylor Swift in this incredible feat. Swift filled 30-plus positions on the Hot 100 in back-to-back weeks just a year ago. When her new album The Tortured Poets Department arrived, she claimed 32 slots on the tally. During the following frame dated May 11, 2024, just one cut dropped off the list. Only one other artist has scored 30 or more Hot 100 hits at one time — and amazingly, he did so just a few months ago. Playboi Carti landed 31 simultaneous smashes in late March, thanks to the massive debut of his album Music. In addition to conquering the Hot 100 by breaking the all-time record for the greatest number of hits at one time, Wallen also leads the charge again. He and Tate McRae debut their collaboration "What I Want" — the latest single from I'm the Problem — at No. 1. The country superstar also fills the next two highest slots, as "Just in Case" and "I'm the Problem" rise to Nos. 2 and 3, respectively, with the former hitting a new peak. Wallen scores half a dozen top 10s this week, which is also a first for him and an incredibly rare showing for any musician.
