Morgan Wallen Blocks Himself From Charting A New No. 1
Morgan Wallen remains the undisputed king of country music at the moment. Even before dropping his latest blockbuster album I'm the Problem earlier this year, he had already earned his title as the genre's biggest name. Since its arrival, the set has taken over the Billboard charts, turning track after track into hits. This week, Wallen pulls off a relatively rare feat, as a remix of one of his album's cuts opens high — though it is blocked from the throne by a familiar rival: himself.
'Miami' Debuts at No. 2
The cut, 'Miami,' appears on I'm the Problem in its original, solo form. Wallen recently re-released it as a remix with rap heavyweights Lil Wayne and Rick Ross, turning it into a cross-genre banger. The updated version credits all three stars and launches at No. 2 on the Country Streaming Songs chart.
Morgan Wallen Keeps Himself From No. 1
That start still cannot topple Wallen's own 'What I Want,' his smash with Tate McRae. That single continues its remarkable run at No. 1 on the Country Streaming Songs tally, where it has now ruled for 11 uninterrupted weeks, ever since it launched in first place more than two months ago.
Morgan Wallen's Career Stats
Across his career, Wallen has now sent 80 tracks to the Country Streaming Songs chart. More than half of those tunes — 43 titles — have reached the top 10. From that bunch, the Grammy nominee has collected 18 No. 1s, and he almost snagged his nineteenth this week.
Lil Wayne and Rick Ross Score a Career First
For Wayne and Ross, 'Miami' earns the two hip-hop powerhouses a very important debut. Neither rapper has ever appeared on the Country Streaming Songs tally before, and now they're withing striking distance of the highest space.
'Miami' Becomes a Sales Smash
Beyond its immediate popularity on streaming platforms, 'Miami' also proves to be a powerful seller. The track starts at No. 1 on the Country Digital Song Sales chart and at No. 9 on the all-genre Digital Song Sales ranking.
On the multi-metric Hot Country Songs chart, 'Miami' rockets from No. 46 to a new high of No. 5. It also reenters the Hot 100 at No. 21 and the Streaming Songs chart at No. 9, which are both new bests for the tune.
Another Milestone in Morgan Wallen's Blockbuster Year
The 'Miami' remix adds another win to Wallen's 2025 streak. I'm the Problem has already spun off a string of smashes, with all of them driven by streaming power and steady sales. Wallen's decision to tap Wayne and Ross for 'Miami' follows a growing trend in country music. Hits from Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter era, Kane Brown's work with pop and R&B stars, and Bailey Zimmerman's recent collaborations with names like BigXThaPlug have shown that bridging genres can yield meaningful results on the charts.
