Morgan Wallen lands seven tracks on the Streaming Songs chart, including two brand new top five … More
Morgan Wallen is not the average country music superstar. He’s managed feats that few in his chosen genre have in the past, and he’s even managed to outperform most, if not all, of his competitors when it comes to streaming success. His entire discography consistently performs well on sites like Spotify and Apple Music, and when he shares something new, the positive results are often immediate – and especially visible on those platforms. This week proves that fact once again, as Wallen floods Billboard’s most important streaming chart with several cuts, including some new, as well as other returning favorites.
Morgan Wallen Dominates Billboard’s Streaming Songs Chart
On the latest edition of Billboard’s Streaming Songs chart, Wallen occupies seven spaces. The tally ranks the most-played tracks in the U.S. across major platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, and Tidal. Owning seven spots on such a competitive list is an impressive feat, and especially for a country musician, as that type of showing is typically reserved for only the most successful pop and hip-hop artists.
Two New Morgan Wallen Songs Debut in the Top Five
Of the seven Wallen cuts currently present on the Streaming Songs ranking, two are brand new this frame, and both earn lofty debuts. The most impressive of the pair is “Just In Case,” which nearly launches in first place. The new single settles for the runner-up slot, coming in behind only Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s latest collaboration, “Luther,” which is in charge again.
His second new arrival, “I’m A Little Crazy,” enters at No. 5. The track was released alongside “Just In Case” and essentially functions as a B-side to the bigger single. Despite not being the focus, it’s still one of the most-played tracks in the country right now.
Morgan Wallen’s Recent Singles are Still Huge
In addition to his pair of top five arrivals, Wallen continues to rank on the tallies with a number of other recent tracks. “I’m The Problem,” the title cut from his forthcoming album, returns to the top 10 as it rises from No. 21 to No. 9. “Love Somebody,” another recently-shared single from the same upcoming effort, also improves significantly, moving up from No. 27 to No. 18.
Meanwhile, Wallen’s chart-topping collaboration with Post Malone, “I Had Some Help,” is a non-mover this time around. It holds steady at No. 26, months after it first dominated a number of Billboard tallies.
Several Morgan Wallen Tunes Return
This week’s Streaming Songs chart also includes a pair of re-entries from Wallen’s soon-to-be-released full-length. “Smile” reappears at No. 29, while “Lies, Lies, Lies” narrowly makes the cut, sneaking back onto the 50-position ranking at No. 46.
Morgan Wallen Ties for the Most Hits on the Chart
Thanks to his two debuts and his pair of returning favorites, Wallen ties for the most appearances on the Streaming Songs chart this week. He claims seven total placements, matching the number of tracks Lamar currently has on the same tally. That’s not an unusual showing for a major rapper, but for a country musician, it’s incredibly impressive, and it shows just how exciting Americans are for I’m the Problem.
