Morgan Wallen Matches Kendrick Lamar’s Historic Record

Morgan Wallen may not currently rule the Hot 100 with a No. 1 smash, but he’s sitting very close to the chart’s throne. The country singer-songwriter makes history this frame with several massive wins, as he fills a trio of spaces inside the highest reaches of Billboard’s ranking of the most consumed songs in the United States

This week, Wallen ties a record that was only recently established by one of the hottest names in hip-hop.

Morgan Wallen’s Trio of Top Five Hits

Wallen currently occupies three spots inside the Hot 100’s top five. His former champion “What I Want,” a collaboration with Tate McRae, holds steady at No. 2. “Just in Case” lifts to No. 3, and “I’m the Problem” — the title track from his latest blockbuster album — holds firm at No. 5.

Morgan Wallen Ties Kendrick Lamar

According to Billboard, this frame marks the fifth in 2025 alone that Wallen has scored three top five smashes on the Hot 100. As he manages to do so again, the country star ties Kendrick Lamar for the most moments with a trio (or more) of songs in the top five in a single year.

Lamar accomplished the same feat just a few months ago with hits from his GNX album, which surged in popularity following his Super Bowl halftime show performance.

The Beatles Still Rule

Billboard also notes that only one act in U.S. history has claimed three or more spaces inside the Hot 100’s top five for more than five weeks in a single calendar year. That honor still belongs to The Beatles, who managed the accomplishment eight times in 1964, the year the band broke into the American mainstream and became superstars.

Morgan Wallen’s Hot 100 Domination

This frame, Wallen lands a lucky 13 tracks on the Hot 100. For most artists, that would mark a career-best showing, but not for the country hitmaker. Over the past several periods, he’s managed to dominate the ranking thanks to his most recent full-length. I’m the Problem features 37 tracks, and when it debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, 36 of them charted on the Hot 100 simultaneously.

A dozen of Wallen’s current hits stem from I’m the Problem, and adding to that group is “I Had Some Help,” his massive collaboration with Post Malone. That tune is featured on Malone’s first country full-length, F-1 Trillion, and well over a year after it launched at No. 1, it’s still charting.
