Morgan Wallen's albums are so big and packed with hit songs that they've become constant fixtures in the highest reaches of the Top Streaming Albums chart in the United States. The country singer-songwriter regularly claims several spaces inside that competitive region, just as he does this frame with his three most recent projects.
If I Know Me, the album that started it all for Wallen, has never climbed quite as high as its successors, but this is a very special week for that introductory project.
If I Know Me Reaches a New Chart Peak
If I Know Me rises five spaces on the current edition of the Top Streaming Albums chart. Wallen's first studio effort jumps from No. 38 to No. 33, and in doing so, it reaches a new peak position on the tally, which ranks the most-played projects on sites like Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and others in every tracking period.
Morgan Wallen's Longest-Charting Streaming Wins
If I Know Me debuted on the Top Streaming Albums list in October 2023, alongside both Dangerous: The Double Album and One Thing at a Time. Unlike those sets, however, If I Know Me has not remained on the ranking since then, as it has now racked up just 21 stays on the streaming-only tally. Both Dangerous and One Thing at a Time have managed 91 frames on the ranking so far.
Three Top 10s on the Top Streaming Albums List
Wallen has sent both of those studio efforts, as well as his latest blockbuster I'm the Problem, into the top five on the Top Streaming Albums chart. One Thing at a Time and I'm the Problem have each spent months at No. 1, while Dangerous stalled at fourth place.
Currently, Wallen occupies three spaces inside the top streaming albums chart's top 10. I'm the Problem holds at No. 1, as it has now spent all eight of its weeks on the tally in the top spot. One Thing at a Time climbs a single rung to No. 3, while Dangerous holds steady at No. 7.
If I Know Me Rises on Multiple Billboard Charts
If I Know Me is also climbing on all three Billboard charts where it makes a home, even though consumption is slightly down. The collection moved just over 15,800 equivalent units in the latest span (per Luminate), a dip from 16,000 the week prior. That doesn't stop If I Know Me from lifting from No. 10 to No. 8 on the Top Country Albums tally, and from No. 49 to No. 41 on the Billboard 200.

Mariah Carey Teases ‘Sugar Sweet' Summer Single

It's not just a sweet, sweet fantasy: Mariah Carey's about to deliver something 'Sugar Sweet.' The pop queen stepped into the kitchen to whip up a small taste of what's to come for fans this weekend — in the form of a light, sugary song. Carey shared a short video of herself mixing batter at the kitchen counter on Saturday (July 19). In the social media clip catered for fans, she fixes her gaze on the camera with a knowing smile and mouths the lyrics to a new tune.

No release date or further details have emerged about 'Sugar Sweet,' but assuming the single arrives soon, it'll be the follow-up to 'Type Dangerous,' which just got a remix EP release featuring collaborations with Big Sean, DJ Snake, Method Man and more. Both tracks would likely find a place on Carey's as-yet-untitled 16th studio album. Fortunately for eager fans awaiting Carey's first full-length studio project since 2018, the new album is ready to go when she's ready to reveal it. 'What is next? The album coming out. I don't wanna tell too much about it because I just don't want to reveal the whole thing. It's finished,' she confirmed in an Apple Music interview last month. In that conversation, she also left a hint that 'Sugar Sweet' was on the way, adding that 'a second single is coming soon. I'm very excited about it. It's very summery. I like the beat as well.'

Billie Eilish Says Music Industry Started to Become More Eco-Friendly ‘Because We Would Yell at Them'

Billie Eilish has long been leading the charge against the music industry's negative impact on the environment — and in an interview on an upcoming episode of The Whole Story with Anderson Cooper, the singer-songwriter looks back on the positive changes she's been seeing since she started speaking up. In an exclusive clip shared with Billboard from the singer's conversation with CNN Chief Climate Correspondent Bill Weir, Eilish opens up about the culture shock of going from growing up in an eco-conscious household to becoming famous in an industry marked by overabundance and excess. Eilish's mom and fellow climate activist, Maggie Baird, also joins her for the interview. More from Billboard Why Billie Eilish Insists on Sustainability In Her Career: 'It's a Never-Ending F–king Fight' Kesha Makes Chart-Topping Debut With New Album '. (Period)' Rauw Alejandro Gains Big: 'Carita Linda' Takes No. 1 Spot on Latin Airplay Chart 'We were meeting different brands, and I was going to go on tour and making perfume and my own clothing line,' Eilish recalls of the early years of her career. 'We learned how much unbelievable waste is going on that we don't really know is happening.' 'We stepped into this other world, and it was a little bit like, 'Oh my gosh, what is happening here?'' Baird added incredulously. The mother-daughter duo go on to say that the music industry didn't have any sort of 'plan' for minimizing its eco footprint back when Eilish first found fame around 2016 — but now, they say it's changing for the better. 'You would not believe how wasteful this industry is,' the nine-time Grammy winner says in the clip. 'They then started making plans, because we would yell at them. We would demand a plan.' 'I was raised to feel this way, but I think I also have my mom's gene of really caring about the world and animals and not wasting things,' Eilish adds. For years, the musician has been a fierce climate advocate. In addition to working with fashion brands such as Nike and Oscar de la Renta to create vegan designs and partnering with environmental nonprofit REVERB on tour, the star launched her very own climate summit, Overheated, in 2022. She's also been a key player in carrying out the initiatives of Support + Feed, an organization founded by Baird in 2020 with a mission to fight climate change and food insecurity. Eilish and Baird's segment on The Whole Story echoes what both women previously spoke with Billboard about last year. Recalling how 'bleak' it was to take meetings with record label executives who couldn't even speak to their companies' sustainability efforts — or lack thereof — the singer pointed out how wasteful unethically sourced merchandise and album variants can be. 'It is right in front of our faces and people are just getting away with it left and right, and I find it really frustrating as somebody who really goes out of my way to be sustainable and do the best that I can and try to involve everybody in my team in being sustainable,' she said at the time. 'Then it's some of the biggest artists in the world making f–king 40 different vinyl packages that have a different unique thing just to get you to keep buying more.' In that same interview with Billboard, Baird praised Universal Music Group for coming 'a long way' in its environmental practices since Eilish signed to them nearly a decade ago. The live music industry has also been making strides, from Lollapalooza implementing a battery-powered hybrid system for its main stage to Coachella debuting a zero-carbon stage in 2025. Eilish is just one of a few musicians featured on the latest installment of The Whole Story, which will premiere at 8 p.m. ET on July 20. Titled 'Change Amplified: Live Music and the Climate Crisis,' the episode will also include first-hand accounts from Bonnie Raitt, Jack Johnson, Perry Farrell and AJR's Adam Met about how they're personally working to revolutionize the music industry's approach to environmentalism.

Billie Eilish and James Cameron 3D Collaboration in the Works

A 3D project is underway from Billie Eilish and acclaimed filmmaker James Cameron, the singer announced Saturday night (July 19) in Manchester, England, where she performed the first of a four-show run at the city's Co-Op Live. While details remain under wraps, Eilish let the cat out of the bag to the U.K. crowd as they'll apparently be a component of the release that's in the works. 'You may have noticed there's more cameras than usual here,' she said from the stage Saturday. 'I can't say much about it, but what I can say is I'm working on something very, very special with somebody named James Cameron, and it's gonna be in 3D.'

'These four shows here in Manchester, you and me, are part of the thing that I am making.' 'And also, I'll probably be wearing this exact outfit for four days in a row,' she said with a laugh. Eilish, currently in the midst of her ongoing Hit Me Hard and Soft Tour, was wearing black-and-blue plaid bottoms and a 'Hard and Soft' jersey. Spanning two years, the world tour in support of her Hit Me Hard and Soft studio album (which reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200) began in fall 2024 and runs through November 2025. Several dates were added to the itinerary in May, including the trek's last two nights in San Francisco. Cameron, most recently immersed in the Avatar universe — 2009's Avatar; 2022's Avatar: The Way of Water; 2025's Avatar: Fire and Ash, opening in theaters Dec. 19, plus an upcoming fourth installment expected in 2029 — is a three-time Academy Award winner, notably taking home a trio of Oscars (including best picture and best director) for Titanic in 1998. For Eilish, the presently untitled project — presumably involving live performance footage in some way, based on her Saturday night comments in Manchester — follows the 2021 concert movie Happier Than Ever: A Love Letter to Los Angeles.
