Morgan Wallen Rules Billboard 200 for 10th Week With ‘I'm the Problem'

Morgan Wallen's I'm the Problem nets a 10th nonconsecutive week atop the Billboard 200 chart (dated Aug. 16). The set earned 136,000 equivalent album units in the United States in the week ending Aug. 7 (down 5%), according to Luminate. I'm the Problem debuted at No. 1 on the May 31-dated chart, spent it first eight weeks in the pole position, stepped away from the top for two frames, and then returned to No. 1 for the last two consecutive weeks. Also in the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200, Reneé Rapp and $uicideBoy$ score their highest-charting albums ever, while Yeat collects his sixth top 10-charted set. More from Billboard Zoë Kravitz and Mom Lisa Bonet 'Destroyed' Taylor Swift's Bathroom Looking For Pet Snake During L.A. Wildfires: 'I Was Panicking' Tool and Weezer to Headline Australia's Good Things Festival Cindy Lee Announces North American Tour Dates The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new Aug. 16, 2025-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard's website on Aug. 12. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram. Of I'm the Problem's 136,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending Aug. 7, SEA units comprise 131,000 (up 2%, equaling 172.27 million on-demand official streams of the set's songs — it leads Top Streaming Albums for an 11th nonconsecutive week), album sales comprise 4,000 (down 5% — it rises 16-13 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise 1,000 (down 26%). Cumulatively, Wallen's three No. 1 albums (I'm the Problem, One Thing at a Time and Dangerous: The Double Album) have spent a total of 39 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. That ties him with Elton John for the fourth-most weeks at No. 1 among male artists in the chart's history, which dates to March 1956, when the chart began publishing on a regular weekly basis. Among male artists, the leaders are: Elvis Presley (67 weeks), Garth Brooks (52), Michael Jackson (51), John and Wallen (39 each), Harry Belafonte and Drake (37 each). Among all artists, The Beatles have the most weeks at No. 1, with 132 across 19 No. 1 albums. I'm the Problem has now spent 10 weeks at No. 1, One Thing at a Time ruled for 19 nonconsecutive weeks in 2023-24 and Dangerous: The Double Album was tops for 10 straight weeks in 2021. In total, only six acts, including Wallen, have at least three albums that have spent at least 10 weeks at No. 1. He joins The Beatles and Elvis Presley (four such albums each); Whitney Houston, The Kingston Trio, Taylor Swift and Wallen (three each). Additionally, Wallen is the only act to spend at least 10 weeks at No. 1 with three consecutive full-length albums. The KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack holds at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, with 100,000 equivalent album units earned (its best week yet by units earned — up 7%). The set has posted a gain every week since its debut on the list seven weeks ago. Reneé Rapp achieves her highest-charted album yet (and first top 10) as BITE ME bows at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 with 64,000 equivalent album units earned — the singer-songwriter-actress' biggest week by units. Of that sum, album sales comprise 47,000 (her best sales frame ever, it debuts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 17,000 (equaling 21.85 million on-demand official streams of the set's songs, it debuts at No. 34 on Top Streaming Albums) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum. Rapp previously placed one entry on the Billboard 200, Snow Angel, which debuted and peaked at No. 44 in 2023. BITE ME's first-week sales were bolstered by its availability across 11 vinyl variants (including signed editions) and five CD variants (including signed editions). $uicideBoy$ earn their highest-charted album as THY KINGDOM COME debuts at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 with 57,000 equivalent album units earned. It's the fifth top 10 set for the hip-hop duo, who had previously gone as high as No. 5 with their last charted project, 2024's New World Depression. Of THY KINGDOM COME's first-week units, SEA units comprise 34,000 (equaling 45.48 million on-demand official streams of the set's songs — it debuts at No. 6 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 23,000 (it debuts at No. 2 on Top Album Sales, boosted by its availability across six vinyl variants) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum. Justin Bieber's SWAG is a non-mover on the Billboard 200 at No. 5 (44,000 equivalent album units earned, down 16%), Alex Warren's You'll Be Alright, Kid climbs 8-6 (nearly 44,000, down 8%), Wallen's chart-topping One Thing at a Time rises 11-7 (39,000, up 1%) and SZA's former No. 1 SOS is up 12-8 (36,000, down 5%). Yeat collects his sixth top 10-charted effort as DANGEROUS SUMMER starts at No. 9 with 34,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, SEA units comprise 18,000 (equaling 25.83 million on-demand official streams of its songs — it debuts at No. 29 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 16,000 (boosted by its availability across three CD variants, all signed, exclusive to his webstore, it debuts at No. 3 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum. Sabrina Carpenter's chart-topping Short n' Sweet rounds out the latest top 10, as it climbs 16-10 with 30,000 equivalent album units earned (up 5%).

Taylor Swift Breaks A Record Previously Held By Trump, And She Did It In Just An Hour

We're sure there will be bad blood. Taylor Swift has broken a record previously held by President Donald Trump. On Wednesday, the Grammy winner appeared on the 'New Heights' podcast hand-in-hand with her boyfriend and co-host Travis Kelce, as his older brother, Jason Kelce, interviewed Swift for a little over two hours. The Daily Beast reports that 1.3 million viewers tuned to watch the podcast episode on YouTube within the first hour that it was online. The outlet notes that reps for the 'Shake It Off' singer confirmed the number. The figure trumps the record previously held by Trump. His appearance on the 'Joe Rogan Experience' in October 2024 saw 800,000 people tune in within the first hour, according to CNN data analyst Harry Enten. CNN host Kate Bolduan also noted Wednesday the episode is 'already on track to become one of the most watched podcasts of all time.' Trump will likely be pretty peeved about Swift mopping him up. The president expressed hostility towards the 'Blank Space' singer after she publicly endorsed Kamala Harris in the build-up to the 2024 presidential election. 'I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,' he wrote in all caps on his Truth Social platform at the time. In May, the president proved he was no Swiftie yet again when he published another post on Truth Social that read: 'Has anyone noticed that, since I said 'I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,' she's no longer 'HOT?'' We suppose that at least 1.3 million people think otherwise.
