Morgan Wallen controls half the top 10 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart, including No. 1 with … More
By this point, it’s not unusual to see Morgan Wallen’s name at No. 1 on any of Billboard’s country rankings. In 2025, it’s become common for the singer-songwriter to be close to the summit, if not actually ruling. The singer’s massive year is thanks to the release of his blockbuster album I’m the Problem and the many singles it has launched.
Wallen typically dominates several genre-specific lists at the same time, and he does so again this frame. But this period is particularly noteworthy, as not only does he lead the Hot Country Songs chart, but he also accomplishes a relatively uncommon feat – two of them, actually.
Morgan Wallen Bookends The Top 10
Wallen bookends the top 10 on the Hot Country Songs chart, Billboard’s ranking of the most consumed country-only tunes in the United States. He’s in charge once again with “What I Want,” his collaboration with pop singer Tate McRae. That tune debuted in first place nine weeks ago and has not vacated the highest rung since.
His solo tune “Love Somebody” returns to the competitive region at the same time. That track, an early single pushed from I’m the Problem before the album dropped, steps up one spot from No. 11 to No. 10, finding its way back into the top tier 39 frames into its lifetime.
Half of the Top 10 Belongs to Morgan Wallen
The Grammy nominee manages to control half of all the slots inside the top 10 on the current edition of the Hot Country Songs chart. As “What I Want” commands the list and “Love Somebody” rises, he holds steady at Nos. 2 and 3 with “Just in Case” and “I’m the Problem,” respectively. Another tune, “I Got Better,” slips slightly from No. 4 to No. 5.
19 Hits at Once
It’s relatively uncommon for any artist to fill 50% of the spaces inside the top 10 on any of Billboard’s song charts. From time to time, when a major new release arrives, it does happen. Wallen’s I’m the Problem has been out for two months now, yet he still manages to take up half of the space in the most competitive tier.
It’s also not very often that an artist coincidentally lands at both Nos. 1 and 10 at the same time, but that only tells part of Wallen’s story on the Hot Country Songs chart. This week, he claims 19 tracks on the 50-position tally, easily the most among all acts.
