Country music's biggest star may be the problem, but he will have the last laugh
Morgan Wallen, I'm the Problem That Morgan Wallen, the biggest star in country music, if not music altogether, is by all evidence a dick – he was caught using a racial slur, is arguably sexist, and definitely boorish – should not preclude a reasoned look at his music. And if you are a caring type, you don't need to worry about any such grumbling affecting Wallen's sales, as the commitment from his fans suggests that, as with his spirit animal, DJ Trump, attaching yourself to Wallen after each criticism of him is an act of defiance and solidarity in the face of smart arses who think they're superior because they're not racist rednecks. Which, funnily enough, Wallen tips a hat to as often as he can on this album, opening I Ain't Coming Back, helped by old mucker Post Malone, with 'I'm a redneck 'cause I drink beer and I dip Skoal', and in Come Back as a Redneck wishing for one of those nasty city folk who look down on him that 'when you die I hope you come back as a redneck/I hope it sticks on you like a hell-hot sun tattoo … maybe then you'll understand'. There's plenty more where that came from, and that's without even getting to the Taylor Swift-alike title track, which opens the album. Though if you think that title may presage a confessional of faults, a mea culpa for deeds past and present … hahaha. Basically, it's a song which says to a recalcitrant lover, who may be standing in for all of his critics, hey, you knew what you were getting with me so why complain now? Plus, maybe it's you, not me: 'And it got me thinkin'/if I'm the problem, well, you might be the reason'. Having dabbled with trap beats in the past, Wallen returns to first thoughts here. This is a regulation modern country album, short on beer-stompers but heavy on the ballads and midtempo tracks, like the sunset cruising I Got Better and hymnal Smile. It's arranged with familiarity not adventure front of mind, R&B influences dusting things like the keyboards drenching TN and the light boy band-does-soul sway of Kiss Her in Front of You, but never leaving country/pop's main street where the likes of If You Were Mine (a power ballad hiding inside a white suit) and the duet with Tate McRae, What I Want, comfortably hold the centre of the road.

Morgan Wallen's New Duet Launches Lower Than Some May Have Expected
Morgan Wallen scores a big new hit on multiple Billboard rankings this week with the debut of his latest tune, "I Ain't Coming Back,' a collaboration with Post Malone. The track launches on more than half a dozen United States-based charts, entering the highest tier on nearly all of them. It serves as the latest focus cut from the country superstar's upcoming full-length, which is expected to drop later this month. "I'm the Problem" is definitely a big win upon arrival, there can be no question about that – but the fact that it didn't perform even better is a little surprising. "I Ain't Coming Back" debuts at No. 8 on the Hot 100. While another top 10 smash on the most competitive songs list in America is certainly nothing to sneer at, some may have expected the collaboration to launch even higher, given the significant excitement surrounding its release. Somewhat shockingly, it's not even Wallen's highest-rising hit on that tally this frame. His previous single, "I'm the Problem," lifts from No. 10 to No. 7 — beating out his latest drop. That's unusual, as one might expect a just-shared tune to be the most exciting of the week, but it misses out on earning that honor by just one space. Wallen has, for months now, delivered single after single from his upcoming album, and almost all of his tracks have reached the top 10 on the Hot 100. Somewhat surprisingly, though, "I Ain't Coming Back" is the second-lowest-peaking of the bunch. His tune "I'm a Little Crazy" only rose as high as No. 17, though it was shared at the same time as 'Just In Case,' which was promoted to proper single status just a short while later. The first single from the set, "Lies Lies Lies," peaked at No. 7 and had been the lowest-charting smash from the effort. The four other proper singles — "Love Somebody," "Smile," "I'm the Problem," and, most recently, "Just in Case" — have all cracked the top five, peaking at Nos. 1, 4, 2, and 4, respectively. What makes the No. 8 debut even more surprising is the fact that when Wallen and Malone teamed up previously, they scored one of the biggest hits of last year. When Malone pivoted into country, he recruited Wallen for "I Had Some Help." That track debuted at No. 1 on the Hot 100 and remains present on the list nearly a year later. Now in its fiftieth frame on the tally, it actually rises this span from No. 17 to No. 15. Even though "I Ain't Coming Back" doesn't match the high points set by several of its predecessors, the track is a true hit. It dominates the Country Streaming Songs chart and launches in second place on both the Country Digital Song Sales and Streaming Songs tallies. It also kicks off its time inside the top five on both the Hot Country Songs (No. 3) and Digital Song Sales (No. 4) charts.
