Morgan Wallen's Clean Sweep Blocked By One Historically-Huge Single
Morgan Wallen is a hit machine, and at this point, that's not up for debate, no matter how people may feel about his life outside the music. The country star regularly floods the charts with new smashes, and this week, he nearly accomplishes something remarkable: claiming the entire top five on Billboard's Hot Country Songs ranking. He comes close to doing so, but he's edged out of the top spot by a track that refuses to let go.
Wallen lands two brand new hits on this week's Hot Country Songs chart, the ranking that lists the most-consumed country tracks in the U.S. based on a combination of streaming, sales, and radio play. His new single 'Just in Case' arrives at No. 2, and it nearly gives him yet another No. 1. The second of his new releases, 'I'm a Little Crazy,' opens at No. 5 at the same time.
Holding Wallen back from reclaiming the throne on Hot Country Songs is Shaboozey's breakout smash 'A Bar Song (Tipsy).' That tune rebounds from No. 2 to No. 1 this frame, demonstrating its continued widespread appeal.
'A Bar Song (Tipsy)' isn't new to this ranking. The track has now spent 50 weeks on the 50-position list. Remarkably, 39 of those have been spent at No. 1. That certifies the cut as one of the longest-running leaders in the chart's history, and as one of the most successful country singles of all time in the U.S.
Wallen has already racked up 10 No. 1 hits on the Hot Country Songs chart. While he doesn't score an eleventh winner this week, he does add to his list of top 10 wins. With 'Just in Case' and 'I'm a Little Crazy' both debuting inside the upper tier, Wallen's count rises to 33 placements inside the top 10.
'Just in Case' and 'I'm a Little Crazy' were released together as something like a double single, though it's clear which tune is getting the real promotional push. 'Just in Case' serves as the latest proper single from Wallen's upcoming album I'm the Problem, which is slated to arrive later this spring.
Wallen dominates this week's Hot Country Songs chart, and his success extends beyond only his two new arrivals. With 'Just in Case' and 'I'm a Little Crazy' starting at Nos. 2 and 5, he nearly claims the entire top five on the tally. His singles 'I'm the Problem' and 'Love Somebody' settle in at Nos. 3 and 4, sandwiched between the just-dropped smashes. Just outside that range is 'I Had Some Help,' a former No. 1 collaboration with Post Malone, which slips slightly to No. 6.
If 'A Bar Song (Tipsy)' was performing slightly worse, Wallen may have had a shot at controlling the top five. That's a feat he'll likely manage when his album reaches the charts, but to do so with a number of concurrent singles would have been astounding.

Miley Cyrus Bangerz Era, Hip-Hop Comments Divide Fans
In 2017, Miley Cyrus released her sixth studio album Younger Now, which was described by Pitchfork as a bold 'statement of reinvention' following her infamous Bangerz era. When Miley released her self-described 'dirty south hip-hop' album Bangerz* in 2013, she embraced a very provocative persona, boldly cutting her hair off, singing about topics like recreational drug use, and, of course, twerking on Robin Thicke at the VMAs. After a few years, Miley's public image totally shifted. She grew out her hair, rekindled her relationship with Liam Hemsworth*, and started penning songs about inoffensive topics. Enter: Younger Now. While she was promoting the 2017 album, Miley memorably made critical remarks of hip-hop — the same genre that had influenced Bangerz. She told Billboard, 'I also love that new Kendrick [Lamar] song ['Humble']: 'Show me somethin' natural like ass with some stretch marks.' I love that because it's not, 'Come sit on my dick, suck on my cock.' I can't listen to that anymore. That's what pushed me out of the hip-hop scene a little. It was too much, 'Lamborghini, got my Rolex, got a girl on my cock' — I am so not that.' Fast forward to today, and Miley has reflected further on her relationship with hip-hop. During a recent appearance on the Every Single Album podcast, Miley was asked if she was 'playing a character' during her Bangerz era. She replied, 'I really did what I wanted to do…It was marketed not just by me, but just by the way that the press perceived it, as this is like some rebellious thing…That to me, that's a strategy, and I, that's not really what I do.' Then, when asked if she had 'fallen in love' with hip-hop, Miley said, 'Yes, because all my friends, that's all we listened to,' adding, 'It's not a genre, it's a statement.' 'For me, hip-hop at the time was my soul. [Those were] the concerts that I was sneaking out to go to. That was the thing that my parents wouldn't let me listen to, you know,' she went on. 'I wasn't unique in the fact that I was a white girl listening to hip-hop,' she said before quipping, 'Like, just go look at a fucking Coachella set list.' Miley was later asked if she had 'any different perspective' on her relationship with hip-hop now, and whether or not she felt differently about inserting herself into that world because she spent a lot of time listening to the genre. She replied, 'I wasn't just listening like a regular person with headphones on to Juicy J, I was friends with Juicy J, actually. So like, I don't know what to say. Like, I was actually smoking fat fucking wax bowls with Wiz Khalifa. Like, I'm not faking!' Reacting to Miley's comments, several fans were left pretty disappointed that she avoided taking 'accountability' for her 'cultural appropriation.' 'she didn't want to be a Disney star anymore. she wanted to be edgy. She benefited from the 'lifestyle' then rejected it when it no longer suited her image. And yes, people change their tastes as they grow older, but she should at least be able to acknowledge all of this after all these years with a few less 'likes' and excuses,' someone said, while another person wrote: 'Every time I think she's going to make a point it doesn't happen. Girl.' Let me know what you think below. You can find Miley's full interview here.

Lil Wayne was in the house at Monday night's (June 9) 2025 BET Awards, with the rap icon taking the stage to perform both a new song and a classic track on the heels of the release of his new album Tha Carter VI. Weezy's performance came a little over an hour into the show, with the star making a dramatic entrance as a gospel choir in red robes sang and fog clouded the Peacock Theater stage in Los Angeles. As the audience greeted him with raucous applause, Wayne fittingly opened with 'Welcome to Tha Carter,' which is the second track from his latest LP.

'Respect, I don't demand, I deserve, my standards superb/ Family first, family second, family third.' Tunechi then rolled seamlessly into his next selection for the night, giving fans a blast from the past by dusting off his 2008 hit 'A Milli.' As he recited the iconic bars with a big smile on his face, fans in the crowd rapped along to the lines 'A million here, a million there.' Peaking at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100, 'A Milli' was one of several hits on Wayne's critically acclaimed Billboard 200-topper Tha Carter III, aka the third installment in his yearslong Tha Carter album series. The rapper recently added to the series with the long-awaited June 6 release of Tha Carter VI, a sprawling 19-track effort featuring collaborations with Wyclef Jean, BigXthaPlug, Jelly Roll, MGK and more co-stars. The same day he dropped Tha Carter VI, Wayne kicked off his tour in support of the album with a performance at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Weezy is up for a few prizes at the 25th-anniversary BET Awards — hosted this year by Kevin Hart — including best male hip hop artist against BigXthaPlug, Bossman DLow, Burna Boy, Drake, Future, Kendrick Lamar, Key Glock and Tyler, The Creator.
