Morgan Wallen Pushes Three Radio Smashes To New Peaks — On Different Charts

Before Morgan Wallen released his latest album, I’m the Problem, which dropped on Friday (May 16), the country superstar spent more than half a year rolling out singles from the full-length. Many of those tracks — proper singles and promotional cuts alike — were pushed to the American public via radio, which remains hugely important among country artists.

This week, three different singles by the singer-songwriter not only appear on radio charts, but rise to new peaks. Each one climbs on a separate tally, seemingly reaching a distinct audience.

“Love Somebody” Comes Close to the Top 10

“Love Somebody” is the highest-ranking of the trio of Wallen tunes that reached new highs on radio tallies this frame. That track, which arrived in October of last year, steps up to No. 11 on the Adult Pop Airplay chart, just one spot away from becoming another top 10 for the singer-songwriter – and it likely will get there soon.

“I’m the Problem” Climbs Again

The title track from I’m the Problem isn’t far behind that position, only on a different roster. That cut surges three spots to No. 13 on the Radio Songs tally, a list that accounts for all formats and genres and ranks the tunes that generate the largest total audience impressions across the U.S.

“Just in Case” Grows at Country Radio

Wallen is already one of the most successful names on the Country Airplay ranking, and it’s likely that I’m the Problem will yield several more favorites at country radio. At the moment, “Just in Case” — the most recent proper single from the full-length — continues to grow on that chart. This frame, it leaps two spaces to No. 16, which now stands as its peak showing, though it will almost certainly continue soaring in the coming frames.

Morgan Wallen’s Older Singles and Collaborations

Two other singles by Wallen also appear on at least one Billboard-published radio roster. “I Had Some Help,” a collaboration with Post Malone, was released more than a year ago and is still living on both the Radio Songs and Adult Contemporary charts. On the former, after 53 weeks, it remains inside the top 20. The cut is performing even better on the latter, where it rises to No. 9 — just one spot below its all-time best placement.

Another collaboration with Malone, titled “I Ain’t Coming Back,” is just getting started at country radio. After less than a month, it recently cracked the top 40 and this frame settles at No. 38. The promotional tune might not receive a full push, especially now that the album is out, but Wallen’s popularity may be so great that it keeps growing unaided.
