Most Successful Country Album Ever? Morgan Wallen’s Latest Feat Strengthens the Case

In an industry where networking has become a necessity, Morgan Wallen took a different approach. Not a fan of award shows or interviews, the singer kept a safe distance from the headlines. But even Wallen couldn’t hide from the massive success of his latest album, I’m the Problem. Although Wallen might consider himself the problem, the country star was recently credited with setting the record for the most No. 1 radio hits from a single album.

At the time of its release, I’m the Problem had no problem climbing the charts. It didn’t just climb the charts – it dominated them. Looking at the numbers, the album clenched the No. 1 position on the US Top Country Albums chart and the US Billboard 200. That was just the start of the success that would follow Wallen.

Kicking off a tour to support the album, Wallen sold out stadiums, arenas, and venues across the United States. Only knowing how to record hit songs and set records, his latest achievement came thanks to his song “Don’t We.” It topped the Country Airplay chart, becoming the seventh song from I’m the Problem to reach No. 1 and giving Wallen the record for the most No. 1 radio hits from a single album.
