Morgan Wallen’s Blocks One Of Today’s Top Pop Stars From His First No. 1

Morgan Wallen scored the largest debut on the Billboard 200 in 2025 when his album I’m the Problem arrived a little more than a month ago. The set launched at No. 1 with just under 500,000 equivalent units shifted, beating a 2025 record previously set by The Weeknd’s Hurry Up Tomorrow. In the six weeks since, the country superstar’s project has not vacated the top spot, and it will likely continue to dominate for several more frames, if not months.

This week, Wallen leads the charge yet again, and as he holds on, he blocks one of today’s hottest pop stars from earning a first leader.

Benson Boone Debuts at No. 2

Benson Boone launches American Heart at No. 2 on the current edition of the Billboard 200. The pop singer-songwriter reaches a new career high point as his new collection arrives and only misses out on the top spot by one space, although the race wasn’t a very close one.

I’m the Problem shifted 177,000 units according to Luminate in the past tracking frame. That’s almost three times as many as American Heart during the same span. Boone’s sophomore full-length arrives with 61,000 equivalent album units moved.

Fireworks & Rollerblades Rises on the Billboard 200

Boone became a hitmaker in the pop space last year with “Beautiful Things,” his breakout track. That tune still ranks above both of his American Heart smashes on the Hot 100 at the moment, as it dips to No. 12 after 74 weeks on the competitive roster.

“Beautiful Things” fronted Fireworks & Rollerblades, his debut album, which peaked at No. 6 on the chart in 2024. As American Heart arrives, Fireworks & Rollerblades skates three spots north to No. 27 after 64 weeks on the Billboard 200.

American Heart Gives Benson Boone His First No. 1

While American Heart might miss out on the peak position on the Billboard 200, it does earn Boone a champion on both the Top Album Sales and Vinyl Albums charts. The same project enters the Top Streaming Albums tally at No. 5.

Benson Boone’s Four Hot 100 Hits

It’s a big week for Boone in America, and not just on the albums rankings. Three tracks from American Heart — “Sorry, I’m Here for Someone Else,” “Mystical Magical,” and “Mr. Electric Blue” — appear on multiple tallies, and all three live on the Hot 100, alongside “Beautiful Things.” The latter is brand new, while the previous two, which were selected as singles from the full-length, rise to new heights on several rankings as excitement around Boone’s new project reaches a fever pitch.
