Morgan Wallen's new full-length I'm the Problem is coming up fast, as the project is expected to drop in May. The country superstar has been steadily rolling out singles for months — several of which dropped just recently — and they're all doing a lot more than simply holding their own. His latest smashes aren't just charting, they're selling in large quantities, and that consistency helps Wallen achieve a somewhat rare feat this week as he replaces himself at No. 1 on a Billboard chart.
Wallen is once again in charge of the Country Digital Song Sales chart. On Billboard's ranking of the bestselling country tunes in the U.S., he trades one winner for another. The title track from his upcoming album I'm the Problem bolts from No. 3 to No. 1, returning to the summit for a second stay at the peak. The cut has now spent nine frames somewhere on the list, and two of them have been in the driver's seat.
Last frame, 'Just in Case' opened at No. 1, earning Wallen yet another champion. That tune dips slightly, but it's hardly gone. This time around, the cut lands at No. 2.
Both 'I'm the Problem' and 'Just in Case' recently joined Wallen's ever-expanding roster of chart-toppers on the Country Digital Song Sales ranking. He's now pushed 16 tracks to the top spot on the roster throughout his career. Out of the 51 total tunes he's landed on the list, 41 have broken into the top 10.
While it's common for artists to land multiple hits on a single chart, Wallen takes that idea to the next level, as he comes incredibly close to sweeping the entire top five on the Country Digital Song Sales chart this week. In addition to both 'I'm the Problem' and 'Just in Case,' two other recent releases are still performing extremely well. 'I'm a Little Crazy' and 'Love Somebody' both dip slightly, falling to Nos. 4 and 5, respectively.
The only song in the top five not attributed to Wallen is 'Can't Cancel All of Us' by Tom MacDonald. The politically-inclined musician debuts at No. 3 with his latest effort.
Wallen doesn't stop at the top five on the Country Digital Song Sales chart, as he manages to occupy half of the entire top 10 this frame. Another recent single, 'Smile,' taken from I'm the Problem, slips slightly from No. 6 to No. 8.
He also closes out the 15-space ranking with a re-entry: 'I Had Some Help,' his hit collaboration with Post Malone. That champion returns at No. 15. The former No. 1 has now spent 43 weeks on the tally, tying Jelly Roll's 'I Am Not Okay' as the second-longest-charting title present on the list. Only one composition, 'A Bar Song (Tipsy)' by Shaboozey, beats them both. That single, one of the most successful in American history, continues to sell, as it's now spent 51 weeks on the Country Digital Song Sales chart, and currently sits at No. 6.
