It ain’t even close anymore. Morgan Wallen just owned the damn scoreboard like no one else ever has.
The East Tennessee megastar just did something that’s never been done before in the history of country music, or music, period. Morgan Wallen is now the first artist to completely sweep the Top 10 spots on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart. Let that sink in. Not three. Not five. The entire damn top 10.
.@MorganWallen becomes the first artist in history to claim the entire top 10 of the #HotCountrySongs chart simultaneously:
— billboard charts (@billboardcharts) May 27, 2025
No. 1, “What I Want” feat. @tatemcrae
No. 2, “Just in Case”
No. 3, “I’m The Problem”
No. 4 “I Got Better”
No. 5, “Superman”
No. 6, “Love Somebody”
No. 7,…
All of this comes in the wake of his latest album, I’m The Problem, hitting like a sledgehammer. The 37-track behemoth debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and racked up 493,000 equivalent album units in its first week, making it the biggest opening of the year. Half a million units in seven days in 2025? In this market? That’s not just impressive. That’s unheard of. The guy dropped a full-blown encyclopedia of heartbreak anthems, backwoods flexes, and late-night gut punches, and country fans are clearly still eating it up.
Leading the charge on the Hot Country Songs chart is his duet with Canadian pop star Tate McRae, “What I Want.” It’s Wallen’s fourth song to hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and McRae’s first, though some of her fans still seem confused as to why she’s in a Morgan Wallen duet, to begin with. But while Twitter squabbles, Wallen is steamrolling the charts with the other nine spots filled by tracks like “Just In Case,” “I Got Better,” “Superman,” and “I’m The Problem.”
The Hot Country Songs chart isn’t just radio spins, either. It blends streaming, sales, and airplay, meaning this isn’t a Music Row handout. It’s pure fan-fueled dominance. That’s what separates this from the usual label-fed radio race. The people chose these songs. Repeatedly. Loudly.

Sure, 37 songs help boost your streaming totals, but nobody else in the genre is putting up these numbers, even with that trick. And yes, some of us think it could’ve been trimmed down to a tighter 14 to 16 track heater instead of a double-album-plus, but still, the result is undeniable. Morgan Wallen didn’t just release an album. He dropped a commercial nuclear bomb on the entire country music industry.
And for those still clutching pearls over whether Wallen is “real country,” the genre’s official chart just gave you the answer in neon lights. Country radio, streaming, digital downloads, every angle, every demo, every single platform, he’s there. Dominating. Again.
It’s not supposed to work like this in 2025. People aren’t supposed to listen to albums. They’re supposed to cherry-pick singles and swipe past the filler. But when Wallen drops, they sit down, headphones in, lyrics pulled up, and dive headfirst. There’s power in that. It’s messy and polarizing, sure, but it’s real.
So yeah, whether you love or loathe him, Morgan Wallen just put another stamp in the country music history books. The first to ever lock down the entire top 10 of the Hot Country Songs chart. And the way he’s moving, it sure as hell won’t be the last.
