Billboard 200 News
Morgan Wallen’s latest studio effort, I’m the Problem, debuted atop
the Billboard 200 chart (dated May 31) with the year’s biggest week
for any album — 493,000 equivalent album units earned in the
United States in the week ending May 22, according to Luminate. It also easily
lands the largest streaming week for any album in 2025.
Of I’m the Problem’s 493,000 first-week equivalent album units, streaming
equivalent albums (SEA) units comprised 357,000 (equaling 462.63 million
on-demand official streams of the set’s 37 tracks; it debuts at No. 1 on Top
Streaming Albums), album sales comprised 133,000 (it
debuts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales) and track equivalent albums (TEA) units
comprised 3,000.
I’m the Problem captured 2025’s biggest week by equivalent album units
earned. The last bigger week was the opening frame of Taylor Swift’s The
Tortured Poets Department over a year ago. It bowed at No. 1 with 2.61 million
units on the May 4, 2024-dated chart.
It’s the third No.1 for Wallen on the Billboard 200,
following 2023’s ONE THING AT A TIME (19 non-consecutive weeks at No. 1) and
2021’s DANGEROUS: THE DOUBLE ALBUM (10 weeks at No. 1, all consecutive). The
latter two titles both debuted at No. 1 and have never left the weekly top 50
of the chart. On the latest chart, ONE THING AT A TIME is a
non-mover at No. 4 (42,000 equivalent album units;
down 13%; making Wallen the only act with two concurrent albums in the weekly
top five in 2025), while Dangerous shifts 11-12.
I’m the Problem was officially announced in mid-March and was preceded by
eight charting songs on the Billboard Hot 100 over the past 10 months, all of
which reached the top 20 of the ranking, including six top 10s (the most top
10s ever from an album prior to its release). Among them were the No. 1 “Love
Somebody,” which debuted atop the list last November, and the album’s title
track (No. 2 in February).
Meanwhile, Wallen claimed the top three spots on the Hot 100, with “What
I Want” followed by “Just in Case” at No.
2 and “I’m the Problem” at No.3 – as he
becomes the first artist that primarily records country music to have
monopolized the top three in a single week over the chart’s 66-year history.
Billboard Hot 100 News
Morgan Wallen
claimed a massive week on Billboard’s charts (dated May 31), as the country
superstar breaks his own record for the most songs ever charted on the
Billboard Hot 100 in a single week. He sents a staggering 37 songs onto the
latest chart, with all except for one from his new album, I’m the Problem.
Morgan
Wallen’s“What
I Want,” featuring Tate McRae, blasted in at No.1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
The collaboration between
the country and pop stars – from Wallen’s new album, I’m the Problem, which
soars in at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 2025’s biggest week by equivalent
album units – is Wallen’s fourth Hot 100 leader and McRae’s first. She surpasses
her prior No. 3 best set by “Greedy” in January 2024. In March, McRae notched
her first Billboard 200 No. 1 with So Close to What; she’s the first artist
this year to lead both lists for the first time.
“What I Want,” on
Mercury/Big Loud/Republic (with Wallen and McRae two of its six writers),
becomes the 1,180th No. 1 in the Hot 100’s archives, and the 83rd to debut on
top. It tallied 31.2 million official streams, 3.9 million radio airplay
audience impressions and 2,000 sold in the
United States in its first week of release (May 16-22).
Wallen previously topped the
Hot 100 with “Love Somebody,” also on I’m the Problem, for a week upon its
debut in November; as featured on Post Malone’s “I Had Some Help,” which bowed
at No. 1 in May 2024 and led for six weeks; and with “Last Night,” for 16 weeks
beginning in March 2023, before wrapping as the chart’s top hit that year.
Wallen boasted six songs in
all in the latest Hot 100’s top 10, with “I Got Better” also debuting, at No.
7, and “Superman” flying 16-8 in its second week on the chart. He has now
charted nine top 10s from I’m the Problem; only Taylor Swift’s The Tortured
Poets Department and Midnights (10 top 10s each) have yielded more, with
Drake’s Certified Lover Boy also having generated nine.
Shaboozey’s “A
Bar Song (Tipsy)” slid 4-9 on the Hot 100, following
its record-tying 19 weeks at No. 1 beginning last July.
Billboard’s
Country Airplay Chart News
NICE ‘PROBLEM’ TO HAVE: Morgan Wallen’s“I’m
the Problem” (Mercury/ Republic/Big Loud) topped Country
Airplay for a sixth total and consecutive week (31.7 million, down 1%). It
became the third No.1 from his album of the same name ahead of its May16
release, following “Love Somebody” (three weeks in February) and “Lies Lies
Lies” (one week, November). His latest single being promoted to country radio,
“Just in Case,” rose 15-13 (14.8 million, up 8%). “I’m the Problem” is the
third of Wallen’s 17 Country Airplay No. 1s to reign for six frames or more,
after “You Proof,” which shares the record for the most time on top (10 weeks,
2022-23), and “Last Night” (eight weeks, 2023). Five total cuts from I’m the
Problem are scaling Country Airplay, with the title track and “Just in Case”
followed in the top40 by “I Ain’t Coming Back,” with Post Malone (43-32; 2.9
million, up 48%).
Singer-songwriter Josh Ross, 30, from
Waterdown, Ontario, achieved his first top 10 on Billboard’s
Country Airplay chart as his first entry, “Single
Again” (The Core/Universal Music Canada/Mercury Nashville), pushed 11-10 on the list
dated May31. The song increased by 10% to 16.6 million impressions May16-22,
according to Luminate. It’s from Ross’ eight-song set Complicated that arrived
in March 2024. It hit No. 2 on the Canada Country chart last October, becoming
the fifth of his six career-opening top 10s. Ross co-authored “Single Again”
with Joe Fox and Brad Rempel, and Matt Geroux produced it. (Fellow Canadian
Rempel is a member of the group High Valley, which has notched 20 top10s on
Canada Country in 2012-24.) Notably, “Single Again” reached the Country Airplay
top 10 in its 60th week on the chart, wrapping the third-longest trip to
the tier since the survey launched in January 1990.

No.1Morgan WallenI’M
THE PROBLEM/ ”What I Want” (featuring Tate McRae): Wallen’s 37-song set blasted
in atop Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart (dated
May 31), as well as the all-genre Billboard 200. It grants the singer-songwriter
from Sneedville, Tenn., his fourth and third leader, respectively.
In its first week (May 16-22), I’m the Problem earned 493,000
equivalent album units in the United States, according to Luminate — the
biggest week by that metric of 2025. The LP sold 133,000, marking his best
career sales week. On the streaming-, airplay- and sales-based Hot Country
Songs chart, Wallen boasts 36 tracks, all from I’m the Problem, as he breaks
his own record for the largest one-week share of the survey, surpassing the 35
that he logged on the March 18, 2023, chart when his previous LP, One
Thing at a Time, debuted at No. 1 on Top Country Albums and the Billboard 200.
Wallen
recently debuted seven of the album's songs at his inaugural, self-curated and
multi-genre Sand In My Boots Festival, including the title
track “I'm The Problem;” theGrammy.com-praised “deceptively smooth-sounding” “Kick Myself;”
“Don't We,” declared an “arena-ready track” byBillboard;“I'm A Little Crazy,” noted as “a
gorgeous paranoiac ballad” byWashington Post; “I Got Better;” “Superman” and “Just In
Case.”
Wallen's
coinciding 2025 I'm The Problem Tour kicks off June 20 at NRG
Stadium in Houston, Texas. The 20-show run will include stops in Seattle,
Washington; Foxborough, Massachusetts; Toronto, Ontario and more. With a second
stop added in Madison, Wisconsin, Wallen's appearances will mark the first time
an artist has played two consecutive nights at Camp Randall Stadium.
A rotating
lineup of guests including Brooks & Dunn, Miranda Lambert, Thomas Rhett and
Koe Wetzel join in direct support with Gavin Adcock, Corey Kent, Ella Langley
and Anne Wilson as first-of-three across select dates. Coupled with May's Sand
In My Boots Festival and a special one-night-only album release
celebration show on May 28 at Roundhouse in London, these 22 shows are the only
place to see the superstar in 2025.

Lainey Wilson’s “Somewhere Over Laredo” Is The Most Added
Kudos to Lee
Adams and the Broken Bow crew on scoring 123 adds for “Somewhere
Over Laredo” by Lainey Wilson. This
is the third largest add week for a solo female in Mediabase history, behind
only Carrie Underwood’s “Smoke Break” (145 in Aug. 2015)
Furthering its
success, the track garnered over 1.16 million streams across platforms in the
first 24 hours of its release, earning Wilson her biggest first day of
streaming to date. The song is
from the new deluxe version of Wilson’s award-winning album, Whirlwind, which
will be released August 22 via BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville in celebration of
the record’s one-year anniversary (pre-order/pre-save/pre-add here). In
addition to Whirlwind’s original 14 songs, the extended edition will feature
five additional tracks: “Somewhere Over Laredo,” “Bell Bottoms Up,” “King
Ranch, King George, King James,” “Yesterday, All Day, Every Day” and “Peace,
Love and Cowboys.”
Already
receiving widespread attention, Wilson performed “Somewhere Over Laredo” live
for the first time at the 2025 American Music Awards earlier this week
and appeared on CBS Mornings to discuss the new track, while Billboard praised,
“one of her most commanding, dynamic vocal performances to date, crescendo-ing
from a soft-focus, tender vocal, before gradually reaching into her upper register
for powerful moments that heighten the song’s emotional acuity”.

KOE WETZEL BECOMES ONLY THE
SIXTH ARTIST TO EVER EARN A FIVE-WEEK NO. 1
WITH BILLBOARD COUNTRY AIRPLAY DEBUT Platinum-Certified 9
Lives Lead Single Featuring Jessie
Murph Remains No. 1
at Country Radio, Climbs Top 15 at Hot AC & Approaches Top 25 at Top
40
NASHVILLE,
Tenn. – Koe Wetzel continues his meteoric rise into 2025 as “High
Road” (originally released 12 July 2025) featuring Jessie Murph,
both artists’ first single at Country radio, remains atop the Billboard Country
Airplay chart for a fifth consecutive week. “High Road” is only the sixth debut
single to achieve this feat since the chart’s inception in 1990 and marks the
first song by two acts each charting for the first time to ever earn that
distinction.
“The way ‘High Road’ has connected has been unreal, and to wrap my head around
the fact that it’s stayed at No. 1 for over a month now is honestly hard to
do,” marvels Wetzel. “It’s a hell of a way to start 2025.”
“Getting to No. 1 is difficult; staying there for five weeks is very difficult
and only happens if the song is a true bonafide smash hit record,” RECORDS
Nashville EVP Josh Easler shared
with Billboard as
he earned Executive of the Week honors in recognition of the milestone
achievement.
“High Road” is the lead single off Wetzel’s fifth studio album and fourth Billboard Top
10,9 Lives(Columbia),
which has proven to be a defining album for the Texan renegade, earning
recognition on multiple year-end best-of lists, including Rolling Stone, Billboard,
the Tennessean, Holler and more, with the Los
Angeles Times naming “High Road” specifically as the No. 8 best song
of 2024 across all genres.
High
Road (Official Video)
Written by Wetzel alongside Murph, Amy Allen, Carrie Karpinen, Laura Veltz,
Josh Serrato and producer Gabe Simon, the single has amassed more than 330
million global streams en route to becoming Wetzel’s fastest RIAA Platinum
certification to date.
As Wetzel dominates the airwaves, he’s also gearing up for another
high-throttle year on the road, with upcoming headlining shows at the San
Antonio Rodeo, Windy City Smokeout, Tailgates N’ Tallboys and more, plus
prominent sets at Stagecoach and CMC Rocks (Australia) and more exciting tour
news coming soon.

About
Koe Wetzel
Koe Wetzel never met a genre wall he couldn’t tear down. The Texas
singer-songwriter has earned a rabid audience for his songs that mix country,
rock, hip-hop, and even Nineties grunge. With his defining fifth studio
album, 9 Lives, released in 2025 via Columbia Records, Wetzel
earned recognition on several major year-end best-of lists, including Rolling
Stone, Billboard, the Tennessean and more,
with the Los AngelesTimes naming lead single
“High Road” (feat. Jessie Murph) as the No. 8 best song of 2024 across all
genres. The single not only marked Wetzel’s debut at Country radio, it also
held the No. 1 spot for five weeks and became his fastest song to reach the RIAA
Platinum milestone to date. Previously, his 2016 album Noise Complaint endeared
him to fans with its no-holds-barred lyrics about drunken nights, broken hearts
and stints in jail, and included the Gold-certified hits “Love” (feat. Parker
McCollum), “Something to Talk About” plus the infamous “February 28, 2016.”
Wetzel’s 2020 major label debut, Sellout, only furthered his legend
with the Platinum-certified “Drunk Driving” and “Good Die Young” plus the
Gold-certified “Kuntry & Wistern.” The 2022 follow-up, Hell Paso,
hit No. 3 on Billboard’s Country Albums and spawned hits on both
the country and rock charts, including the Gold-certified “Creeps” and “Cabo.”
To date, Wetzel has amassed 3.7 billion total streams and has created a genuine
experience with his live concerts, which he describes as “total chaos.” In 2023
alone, he sold more than 275,000 tickets, appearing for a third time on POLLSTAR’s
Top Worldwide Tours. Wetzel again performed for well over 200,000 fans across
the U.S. in Europe in 2024, with over 96% of all headline tickets sold, in
addition to playing prominent festival sets and opening for Morgan Wallen on
the superstar’s One Night at a Time Stadium Tour.

category. In the general categories, Jelly Roll earned a Best New Artist
nomination and Lainey Wilson's Bell Bottom Country landed

his critically acclaimed Hulu documentary produced by ABC News, “Save
Me.” Featured by Nightline, GMA, GMA3,The New
York Times, The
Tennessean, Billboard, Variety, American
Songwriter, CMT and more, his

Billboard 200 chart measures multi-metric album consumption, which includes
traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent
albums (SEA).
Luke Combs Bundles First No. 1 Album With Record-Setting Week on
Billboard 200 Chart
Luke
Combsblasted in at No.1 on the
Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart with his new release, WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT
YOU GET. The country album, which was released on Nov. 8 via River
House/Columbia Nashville, launched with 172,000 equivalent album units
earned in the U.S. in the week ending Nov. 14, according to Nielsen Music. Of
that sum, 109,000
were in album, TEA
units equal 6,000 and SEA units total 58,000. The latter sum translates to 74
million on-demand audio streams for the album’s 17 tracks..
WHAT
YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET marked Combs’ first No. 1 on the all-genre Billboard
200 chart, it logged the largest week for a country album in over a year,
and it's the biggest streaming week ever for a country album.
What
You See Is What You Get is Combs' second full-length studio album, follows
2017's THIS ONE'S FOR YOU. The latter peaked at No. 4 and has been in
the top 40 every week since June 2018.
Biggest
Week for a Country Album in Over a Year:
With
172,000 equivalent album units earned, What You See Is What You Get tallies the
largest week for a country album in over a year. The last larger week earned by
a country set came when Carrie Underwood’s CRY PRETTY bowed at No. 1 with
266,000 units on the Sept. 29, 2018-dated chart.
Second
No. 1 Country Album in 2019:
What
You See Is What You Get is just the second country album to top the
Billboard 200 in 2019, of a total of 35 No. 1 albums. Earlier in the year,
Thomas Rhett's CENTER POINT ROAD logged country's first No. 1 of 2019, when it
debuted atop the list dated June 15 and spent one week in the penthouse. In all
of 2018, there were 40 total No. 1s, with three country leaders: Jason Aldean's
REARVIEW TOWN (one week, April 28), Underwood's CRY PRETTY (Sept. 29) and Kane
Brown's EXPERIMENT (one week, Nov. 24).
Combs’
Biggest Week in Units & Album Sales:
WHAT
YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET logged Combs his largest week in both total units
earned, and in album sales. His previous high in units came when THIS ONE’S FOR
YOU garnered 55,000 units (June 16, 2018-dated chart) after it was reissued
with bonus tracks a year after its initial release. Combs’ previous high in
album sales was registered in the debut week of This One’s for You, with 35,000 sold (June 24, 2017 chart).
What You See Is What You Get’s debut week was bolstered by a concert
ticket/album sale redemption offer (AXS.com) with Combs’ upcoming tour,
in addition to some merchandise/album bundles sold via Combs’ official website.
Record
Streaming Week for a Country Album:
What
You See Is What You Get logged 58,000 in SEA units, which translates to 74
million on-demand audio streams for the album's 17 tracks during the tracking
week ending Nov. 14. That easily smashes the previous one-week streaming record
for a country album. Previously, Gene Autry’s Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
and Other Christmas Classics held the record for the biggest streaming week for
a country album, when it earned 43.71 million streams for its tracks on the
Jan. 5-dated list -- thanks heavily to Christmastime plays of the album’s
holiday favorites “Here Comes Santa Claus (Right Down Santa Claus Lane)” and
“Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.”

Luke
Combswith second full-length, WHAT
YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET (River House/ Columbia Nashville/Sony Music Nashville),
blasted in at No. 1 on the Nov. 23-dated Top Country Albums chart (#1
New Entry Billboard 200), starting with 172,000 equivalent album units (109,000 in album sales) in the week
ending Nov.14, according to Nielsen Music.
The
set is Combs’ third leader on the list, following his first LP, 2017’s This
One’s for You, and this year’s 5-track EP, THE PREQUEL (River House/Columbia
Nashville/ Sony Music Nashville) which stormed to the top of Billboard’s Top
Country Albums chart (dated June 22), earning 48,000 equivalent album units
in its first week (ending June 13), according to Nielsen Music. Of that sum, 22,000 copies were from traditional
album sales; the set earned 25.3 million on-demand audio streams for its
songs in its debut frame.
As
for Combs’ prior history on Top Country Albums, THIS ONE’S FOR YOU arrived
atop the chart dated June24, 2017 (with 43,000 units; 35,009 in traditional album sales).
The set followed his same-named EP, which debuted at No. 36 in December 2015
and peaked at No. 24 in May 2017. A deluxe version of the LP, released on June 1, 2018, sparked the title’s
top weekly unit count (55,000, as reflected on the chart dated June 16, Combs’
former biggest week). The LP (River House/Columbia Nashville/Sony Music
Nashville),, at No. 2 on Top Country Albums (#18-14 Billboard 200, 21,000,
up 11%’ #14-5 Country Sales), has logged 50 weeks at No. 1, tying Shania
Twain’s Come on Over for the most weeks at the summit — 50 each — in the chart’s
nearly 56-year history.
Critical reception for Luke Combs’ What You See Is What You
Get:
Exclaim (Rating:90/100)….The quality
of musicianship, lyrical content and melodies on What You See Is What You Get
marks one of the top calibre country albums of the decade.
Allmusic (Rating: 4 STARS) …At 60 minutes, the album
runs through so many sturdy midtempo tunes about family, heartbreak, and love
that the seams holding Combs' everyday persona together start to show -- all
the variations on a theme can't help but reveal the calculation behind the
image -- but taken on a song-by-song basis, What You See Is What You Get is a
solid album, proudly made just the way they used to be back in the '90s.
Variety (Rating: 78/100) Did the album, as good as it is, need to be 17 songs
long? No; it feels less like taking listeners on an old-school album journey
than just flooding the streaming zone with potential hits.
Rollingstone (Rating: 3.1/2 STARS) Over 17 songs (five of which were released
this summer on The Prequel EP), Combs doubles down on the Miller-chugging bona
fides he’s sculpted in the process of becoming country’s most relatable
everyman. His second LP reworks and revamps the now-quaint Nineties country
styles of Brooks & Dunn (who appear on the clever drinking anthem “1, 2
Many”) and Alan Jackson, and is littered not just with crushed beer cans but
also resolute life lessons….Combs’ second full-length, then, sounds less like
an album and more like a collection of singles that will be crowding country
radio for the next two years.
The New York Times (Rating: 50/100)…“What You See Is What
You Get” challenges him less than his debut album did. It is mundanely
forceful, laden with chunky guitars and hard-snap drums, and just barely
ambitious. Which is to say, in the current country ecosystem, reasonably
effective. Where Combs shows the most promise is in his emergent desire to
restore the genre to the high-octane pep of the 1990s.
Entertainment Focusby Pip Ellwood-Hughes (Rating: 3.5/5) …At 17 songs long there’s bound to
be filler and it’s true that some of these songs are indistinguishable from one
another. All Over Again sounds pretty much the same as his hit Hurricane while
Every Little Bit Helps and the title track What You See Is What You Get are
Luke Combs by numbers. 1, 2 Many featuring Brooks & Dunn is a nice
throwback to the 90s and it works far better than Does To Me, the collaboration
with Eric Church.
Following several listens I’m still not fully in the Luke Combs camp.
The album is too long and there are too many similar sounding tracks.
HE GOOD: There are glimpses of Combs' potential, His vocals are strong,
The more sensitive moments are the best
THE BAD: The album is very samey, The production often removes Combs'
personality
Your Life In A Song by James Daykin (Rating: Positive) ..Don’t
get me wrong, Luke Combs is a special artist. What he has, right now, is
exactly what Country music needs. A humble, unassuming, down to earth guy that
could just be one of us is up there on stage, filling arenas with simple songs
about love, loss and the vagaries of life. Backed by a honky-tonk attitude,
Combs is leading the charge against the clean-cut pretty boys of Country pop
and is doing a damn fine job of it too. He just needs to be careful that, going
forward, across all the albums yet to come, he doesn’t become a parody of
himself or begin to plagiarise himself in an effort to meet the demands of his
rabid fan base. Someone in his team needs to be brave enough to say no to him
and to point out that he’s already written ‘Hurricane’ and ‘When it Rains it
Pours’. Combs needs someone to push him on in his creative endeavours so that
he evolves and develops into the genre-defining artist that he could, quite
clearly, so easily become. ‘What You See is What You Get’ is a great album but
it’s a relatively safe album.
