Over two years ago, Morgan Wallen released his third studio album with One Thing at a Time. The album came backed with over 30 songs like “Last Night”, “Everything I Love”, and “Man Made a Bar.” Thanks to fans, the album spent 19 weeks on top of the Billboard 200 throughout 2023 and 2024. Following that same formula, Wallen’s newest album, I’m The Problem, also dominated the airwaves and charts, snagging the top spot on the Billboard 200 during its debut week. And, it should come as no surprise, Wallen continues his grip on country music with yet another week on top of the charts.
Looking at the album equivalent units presented by Luminate, I’m The Problem gained 493,000 units during its debut week. Now, with the second week over, the album received another 286,000 album equivalent units. With only a 42% drop, Wallen gained more than just praise as that decline marked the smallest fall in over a year. The album to drop less than I’m The Problem was back in March 2024 when 21 Savage released American Dream.

While excited about the reception I’m The Problem received, Wallen had more to celebrate as three of his albums, One Thing at a Time and Dangerous: The Double Album, also sat in the top then alongside the new album.

“Their voices blend so beautifully together! I hope Posty’s next album will be country rock with some features throughout!”
“Morgan Wallen, Saved Country Music I don’t care what anyone has got to say. The only ones who claim him not authentic country are a bunch of hillbillies . . .”
