Morgan Wallen Will Not Submit Latest Album for Grammys Consideration

The country superstar Morgan Wallen will not submit his latest album for consideration at the Grammy Awards, his representatives confirmed on Wednesday, rebuffing an institution that has paid him little attention during his rise as one of the most popular artists in music. Wallen's 'I'm the Problem' has held the top spot on the Billboard 200 chart on 11 nonconsecutive weeks since its release in May. The Recording Academy has recognized Wallen with two past nominations. Neither was for work on his previous three albums; he picked up both nods for the 2025 ceremony for his feature on 'I Had Some Help,' a hit off Post Malone's album 'F-1 Trillion.' Wallen, who didn't explain his decision to step away from the awards, has joined an assembly of major artists who have abandoned the music industry's most recognized honors. Drake, the Weeknd, Frank Ocean and Zach Bryan have all at times opted not to submit their music for Grammys consideration, citing reasons including concerns over the nomination process, the makeup of the voting body and the restrictions of genre-based categories. The Weeknd boycotted the awards for several years, until a détente in February, when the singer played two songs on the telecast. In a speech before the performance, Harvey Mason Jr., the head of the Grammy Awards, said that the academy had listened to artists' criticism of the institution as being out of touch with younger tastes, noting that it had recently refreshed much of its membership. Hits Daily Double, the music industry gossip site, was the first to report the news of Wallen's decision. On 'I'm the Problem,' the singer and songwriter's moody and melancholy fourth album, Wallen delivered 37 tracks that include collaborations with Tate McRae, Eric Church and Post Malone. Songs on the album could end up receiving recognition at the Grammys if they are submitted for consideration by other songwriters — the album's extensive roster includes the producer Charlie Handsome and the songwriter Ernest.. Wallen has a history of keeping mainstream music institutions at a distance. Last year, he won entertainer of the year at the Country Music Association Awards and was the most nominated artist, but he was absent from the ceremony. Once rebuked by the mainstream music industry after video surfaced of him using a racial slur, Wallen faced another wave of public scrutiny last year when he was arrested and accused of throwing a chair from the sixth-story roof of a downtown bar owned by Church. He pleaded guilty to reduced charges, for misdemeanor reckless endangerment, in December. The incident did little to dampen his popularity — he was among the most streamed artists of last year — and he is currently on a stadium tour for 'I'm the Problem.' Nominations for the upcoming Grammy Awards will be announced in November, and the awards show is scheduled for Feb. 1. Artists may submit their music for consideration through Aug. 29.

Why ‘The Office' cast would sneak back onto set after hours: Brian Baumgartner

It was after business hours. 'The Office' star Brian Baumgartner has revealed that the cast used to sneak back on set after filming — for one key reason. 'There were some nights where we came back to Dunder Mifflin late at night when the shooting had stopped,' Baumgartner, 52, exclusively told The Post. 'The people who were involved in the Fantasy Football league would sit at all of the working computers, and draft in person together there.' 9 Brian Baumgartner in his interview with the New York Post. 9 Brian Baumgartner as Kevin with his chili on 'The Office.'

'Those are very fond memories, for sure.' Baumgartner played the chili-loving Kevin Malone from 2005 to 2013. The NBC comedy also starred Steve Carrell, John Krasinski, Rainn Wilson, Jenna Fisher and Mindy Kaling. They played staffers at the paper company, Dunder Mifflin. Baumgartner is still in a fantasy football league with many of his former co-stars, including Wilson and Krasinski. 9 Brian Baumgartner with Samuel Adams Octoberfest.

'I do a fair amount [of trash talking.] I'm very active….during the draft,' he said while promoting his partnership with Samuel Adam's Octoberfest beer, including a limited-edition Fall Legends Commissioner's Kit for Fantasy Football season. 'If you draft wrong, you're going to hear from me, probably Rainn Wilson as well. He's a big trash talker.' Carrell, however, isn't in their league. 'He's kind of a Patriots guy. And hockey is more Steve's thing,' he noted. 'Steve still played hockey while we were shooting the show in a rec league.' The cast would even play Fantasy Football on their characters' computers when the cameras rolled. 'We were probably all much better players when we had time there to just sit and look at our computers,' he said. 9 Kate Flannery as Meredith Palmer, B.J.

According to Nielsen data, 'The Office' was the most streamed show of 2020, raking in over 57 billion minutes viewed.

And I remember this specifically, he said, 'no, it feels bigger.'' 9 Jenna Fischer holds up a piece of cake celebrating the 100th episode of 'The Office' as Brian Baumgartner, Steve Carell, Angela Kinsey, and B.J.

'It's hard to really have people understand how small that conference room really was. [Creator] Greg Daniels kept it very small because he wanted it to have that sort of claustrophobic feeling,' he told The Post. 'We all felt a little punch drunk…..Steve really thrived in those moments and very clearly to me, he did his best to try to make us laugh.'
