Morgan Wallen's ‘I'm the Problem' Returns to No. 1 on Billboard 200
Morgan Wallen's I'm the Problem returns to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart (dated Aug. 9), racking up a ninth nonconsecutive week atop the tally. The set rises 2-1 and earned 143,000 equivalent album units in the week ending July 31 (up 1%) according to Luminate. I'm the Problem debuted at No. 1 on the May 31-dated chart and spent it first eight weeks in the pole position. Also in the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200, TOMORROW X TOGETHER collects its seventh top 10-charted effort with the No. 3 debut of The Star Chapter: TOGETHER; YoungBoy Never Broke Again lands his sweet 16th top 10 with the No. 6 bow of MASA; and Tyler Childers achieves his highest-charted album (and third top 10) with the No. 7 launch of Snipe Hunter.

Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new Aug. 9, 2025-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard's website on Aug. 5. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram. Of I'm the Problem's 143,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending July 31, SEA units comprise 137,000 (up 2%, equaling 180.43 million on-demand official streams of the set's songs — it leads Top Streaming Albums for a 10th nonconsecutive week), album sales comprise 5,000 (down 23% — it falls 15-16 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise 1,000 (up 30%). Cumulatively, Wallen's three No. 1 albums (I'm the Problem, One Thing at a Time and Dangerous: The Double Album) have spent a total of 38 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. That sum solely gives Wallen the fifth-most weeks at No. 1 among male artists in the chart's history, which dates to March 1956, when the chart began publishing on a regular weekly basis. He was previously tied with Harry Belafonte and Drake with 37 weeks each. Among male artists, the leaders are: Elvis Presley (67 weeks), Garth Brooks (52), Michael Jackson (51), Elton John (39), Wallen (38), Belafonte and Drake (37 each). Among all artists, The Beatles have the most weeks at No. 1, with 132 across 19 No. 1 albums. The KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack returns to its peak on the Billboard 200, as it climbs 3-2 with 93,000 equivalent album units earned (up 4%) — its best week yet by units earned. TOMORROW X TOGETHER collects its seventh top 10-charted effort as The Star Chapter: TOGETHER debuts at No. 3. The set earned 65,000 equivalent album units in its first week. Album sales comprise 62,000 of that sum (it debuts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 3,000 (equaling 4.23 million on-demand official streams of the set's songs) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum. The album's first-week sales were bolstered by its availability across 24 CD variants (all with collectible ephemera, some randomized, inside its packaging). Tyler, The Creator's DON'T TAP THE GLASS falls 1-4 in its second week on the Billboard 200, with 59,000 equivalent album units earned (down 70%). Justin Bieber's SWAG rises 6-5 (52,000, down 28%). YoungBoy Never Broke Again achieves his 16th top 10-charted album on the Billboard 200, as MASA enters at No. 6. The set earned 49,000 equivalent album units in its first week, with SEA units comprising 48,000 of that sum (equaling 69.15 million on-demand official streams of its songs — it debuts at No. 4 on Top Streaming Albums). Album sales comprise a little under 1,000 (it was only available to purchase as a standard widely available digital download) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum. With a 16th top 10, YoungBoy Never Broke Again ties Jay-Z and Nas for the third-most top 10 albums among hip-hop artists. Only Future (with 18) and Drake (17) have more among hip-hop acts. (Among all artists, of all genres, The Rolling Stones have the most top 10s, with 38.) Tyler Childers scores his highest-charting album, and third top 10, on the Billboard 200 with the No. 7 launch of Snipe Hunter. The set earned 48,000 equivalent album units in its first week. Album sales comprise 27,000 of that sum (it debuts at No. 2 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 20,500 (equaling 26.14 million on-demand official streams of its songs — it debuts at No. 20 on Top Streaming Albums) and TEA units comprise about 500. Snipe Hunter's first-week sales were aided by its availability across seven vinyl variants, along with a widely available standard CD and digital download. The album was preceded by the radio-promoted single 'Nose on the Grindstone,' which climbs to No. 18 — a new peak — on the Adult Alternative Airplay chart. Rounding out the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200 are Alex Warren's You'll Be Alright, Kid (falling 5-8 with 47,000 equivalent album units, down 35%); JACKBOYS and Travis Scott's former No. 1 JACKBOYS 2 (4-9 with 46,000, down 41%); and Ozzy Osbourne's The Essential Ozzy Osbourne (7-10 with nearly 46,000, up 5%).

Morgan Wallen's Latest Chart Feat Proves His Streaming Power
It's now been two months since Morgan Wallen released his latest album, I'm the Problem. In the weeks since that huge full-length arrived, the project has continued to dominate a number of Billboard charts, while the dozens of songs featured on its tracklist have remained massively popular. I'm the Problem continues to sell well, but the lengthy collection is performing especially well on streaming platforms. Millions of plays per week translate to incredible success on some of Billboard's streaming-only tallies, especially the one that's focused entirely on country music. Morgan Wallen Dominates the Country Streaming Songs Chart On the current edition of the Country Streaming Songs chart, Wallen occupies the highest four spaces — all with tracks from I'm the Problem. He has managed this feat before, so while it's not exactly historic, it is impressive that the country singer-songwriter has repeated the accomplishment months after the album's debut. "What I Want" Still at No. 1 After 10 Weeks "What I Want," Wallen's collaboration with Tate McRae, holds at No. 1 yet again. In the 10 weeks that the duet has spent on the Country Streaming Songs chart, it has yet to slip from the highest position. Both "Just in Case" and "I'm the Problem" are steady at Nos. 2 and 3, respectively, though both have previously conquered the ranking as well. Wallen manages to own the entire top four, as "I Got Better" swaps spots with "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" by Shaboozey. "I Got Better" returns to its all-time peak of No. 4, while "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" dips to No. 5, which is still a notable placement for a tune that has now spent 67 weeks on the Country Streaming Songs chart. Morgan Wallen Claims 11 Smashes Looking at the entirety of the top 10, Wallen occupies 60% of all available real estate. "I Had Some Help" – one of his collaborations with Post Malone, which fronted the latter act's first country full-length, F-1 Trillion – and Wallen's own "20 Cigarettes" are steady at Nos. 7 and 9, respectively. Wallen currently claims 11 spaces on the 25-rung Country Streaming Songs chart, with a mix of new releases from I'm the Problem as well as older tunes like "Last Night" and "Cowgirls" with Ernest.

Morgan Wallen's Debut Album Brings The Country Star To A Milestone For The First Time
Morgan Wallen's If I Know Me hits 350 weeks on the Billboard 200, marking his first album to reach ... More the impressive milestone as his latest release continues to dominate. FLORENCE, AZ - APRIL 08: Morgan Wallen performs during Country Thunder Music Festival Arizona - Day 4 on April 8, 2018 in Florence, Arizona. (Photo byfor Country Thunder USA) Morgan Wallen continues to dominate the Billboard 200 with his latest blockbuster, I'm the Problem. The lengthy project opened at No. 1 with just under half a million equivalent units, and in the five weeks since, the title hasn't vacated the penthouse on the ranking of the most consumed albums in the United States. It may hold steady for several more frames, if not another month or so, as I'm the Problem continues to rack up millions of streams and sell well. Wallen's latest full-length helps him reach a new milestone on that roster — one he's never seen before but will almost certainly reach again. If I Know Me Hits a Major Milestone Wallen's debut full-length If I Know Me hits 350 weeks on the Billboard 200 this frame. This marks a first for the country star, as he has never before seen any of his releases reach that sum. In fact, If I Know Me is his only 300-week charter — at least so far. His second-longest-running title, Dangerous: The Double Album, currently counts 232 frames on the ranking. Meanwhile, One Thing at a Time, his most recent project before I'm the Problem, has now spent 120 weeks on the chart. If I Know Me's Consumption Grows This week, If I Know Me ascends 20 spots on the Billboard 200, pushing from No. 83 to No. 63. Luminate reports that the project moved 14,300 equivalent units in the past tracking frame, an increase of just under 9% from the period before. If I Know Me isn't just barely holding on after hundreds of weeks — it's actually gaining in total consumption. Apparently, fans aren't satisfied with the 37 brand new tunes Wallen released only about a month ago on I'm the Problem, as his entire discography is performing well at the moment. Morgan Wallen's Debut Album Rises If I Know Me is gaining ground on every Billboard tally it appears on. In addition to the Billboard 200, the 2018 full-length jumps to No. 12 on the Top Country Albums chart and reenters the Top Streaming Albums ranking at No. 42. Three Recent Morgan Wallen Albums Chart All three of Wallen's more recent releases also appear on the Billboard 200, Top Streaming Albums, and Top Country Albums tallies — and they're performing significantly better than If I Know Me, even as that latter effort continues to rise. In most instances, those sets appear inside the top 10 on those rosters.

Morgan Wallen Fans May Have Chosen Their Next Favorites From His New Album
Morgan Wallen's new album I'm the Problem has already produced more hit songs than most artists will manage during an entire successful career. The singer-songwriter promoted the set for months ahead of its release, landing top 10 smash after top 10 smash on major Billboard rankings like the Hot 100 and Hot Country Songs charts. Weeks after the full-length arrived, it's still ruling multiple tallies, and while the spotlight remains on tunes like "What I Want" with Tate McRae, fans have chosen several other cuts as their favorites. Several album tracks from I'm the Problem are climbing to new peaks across numerous Billboard rosters at the moment while others slip downward. Neither "TN" nor "Dark Till Daylight" have been selected as singles from I'm the Problem – at least not yet – but as consumption continues to grow, while many other non-singles begin to fade, Wallen and his team may want to take notice. Between the two, "TN" is the better performer, but only slightly. This week, it ascends to new peaks on both the Hot Country Songs and Country Streaming Songs charts, inching up to Nos. 13 and 12, respectively. Just three weeks into its tenure on those rankings, "Dark Till Daylight" isn't far behind, also earning new best showings. The track hits No. 15 on the Hot Country Songs list and No. 13 on the Country Streaming Songs chart. Both "TN" and "Dark Till Daylight" also appear on the Hot 100, Streaming Songs chart, and Billboard Global 200. While "TN" rises across all five tallies on which it's found, "Dark Till Daylight" is descending on both the Streaming Songs list and Billboard Global 200. It does, however, manage to hold at its all-time high of No. 49 on the Hot 100. Wallen fills, in some cases, a dozen or more spots on several of those lists. The tracks featured on I'm the Problem are performing spectacularly on the Hot 100 and Billboard Global 200, and his name is scattered across all of the country-only rankings, including in a few spots with much older tracks from past projects. I'm the Problem continues to dominate the Billboard 200, while the songs from its 37-tune tracklist rack up millions of streams.

Morgan Wallen Matches Justin Bieber And Jay-Z
Morgan Wallen scores 29 new Hot 100 hits thanks to his I'm the Problem album, tying Jay-Z and Justin ... More Bieber at 105 total entries in the process.

The superstar and Tate McRae debut their collaboration "What I Want" in first place, and the country superstar sends dozens of tracks from his latest album, I'm the Problem, to the tally. As a deluge of cuts from I'm the Problem reach the Hot 100, Wallen adds significantly to his career total of placements, passing an important milestone and tying with two of the most successful musicians of the past several decades. All 29 new appearances on the Hot 100 are taken from I'm the Problem. As those two dozen-plus tracks arrive, the singer-songwriter increases his career total to 105 placements on the roster, according to Billboard. With exactly 105 Hot 100 wins to his credit, Wallen is now tied with Justin Bieber and Jay-Z, who have also accrued just as many. Both of those artists had quite the head start and spent well over a decade accruing smashes before Wallen's career really took off. Neither has been particularly focused on music lately, so their sums haven't increased significantly in recent years. Thanks to I'm the Problem, Wallen has now snagged four No. 1 hits. Two of them — "Love Somebody" and the brand new "What I Want" with McRae — opened in first place. He also reached the summit with his solo hit "Last Night" taken from his previous album One Thing at a Time, and "I Had Some Help," his collaboration with Post Malone. In total, Wallen has landed 17 top 10 smashes, including nine from his latest full-length. The record for the most Hot 100 hits is still owned by Drake, and it may always be. He is up to 358 placements on the tally, nearly 100 more than the runner-up, Taylor Swift, who claims 264. Also included in this exclusive club, which now features 21 artists, are names like Future, Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, The Weeknd, and Eminem.
