Last week, Morgan Wallen made history on the Hot 100 when tracks from his album I’m the Problem flooded Billboard’s ranking of the most consumed tunes across the United States. Dozens of songs from the full-length appeared on the list, powered by staggering streaming numbers. Just days later, although some tracks have slipped off the tally and most are declining, Wallen still manages to match one of the biggest stars in music history as he dominates the ranking once more.
Morgan Wallen Fills 32 Spots on the Hot 100
This week, Wallen controls 32 positions on the Hot 100 — just under one-third of all the available spaces. With this incredible feat, he matches Taylor Swift’s best showing on the list. Swift once occupied 32 spots on the Hot 100 in May 2024, the week her album The Tortured Poets Department arrived. The following frame, she filled just one fewer space in a stunning example of sustained popularity.
Morgan Wallen Broke His Own Record
When I’m the Problem was brand new, Wallen claimed 37 spots on the Hot 100. 36 of the 37 tracks from his album appeared, alongside “I Had Some Help,” his 2024 collaboration with Post Malone. That performance broke Wallen’s previously-set all-time record of 36 simultaneous placements on the ranking, which he managed in the spring of 2023 with his project One Thing at a Time.
Morgan Wallen’s First
Wallen is now the first musician in history to chart 30 or more songs on the Hot 100 in three separate weeks. Swift has managed this feat twice, while rapper Playboi Carti joined the club in March of this year when his album Music debuted. That frame, 31 tracks with his name attached landed on the tally.
Morgan Wallen Scores Trio of Top 10s
Among Wallen’s 32 wins on the Hot 100 this frame is a trio of top 10s, which sit side-by-side within the uppermost tier. “What I Want,” his collaboration with Tate McRae, dips from No. 1 to No. 2, making way for “Ordinary” by Alex Warren to ascend to the summit for the first time. Just behind those smashes “Just in Case” and the album’s title track “I’m the Problem,” which land at Nos. 3 and 4, respectively.
