Morgan Wallen hits number 1 on both sides of the Atlantic with “I’m the Problem”

Morgan Wallen continues to cement his position as one of the biggest stars in the world as his fourth studio album hits number one in the US and the UK.

I'm the Problem” gives Wallen his first number 1 album in the UK and his third number 1 in the US. In the UK Wallen joins a small group of elite artists including Taylor Swift, Shania Twain, Post Malone and Beyonce as the only artists in UK chart history to debut No. 1 with a country album. The feat is especially notable as ‘One Thing At A Time' previously marked Wallen's highest debut on the chart at No. 40.

In the US, Wallen broke his own record for most simultaneous entries in Billboard Hot 100 history, with all 37 songs off the album charting. He also currently occupies the No. 1, 2 and 3 slots simultaneously with his duet with Tate McRae ‘What I Want', ‘Just In Case' and the title track “I'm The Problem” respectively – becoming the first country artist ever to do so.

“The massive growth that we've seen in the UK is truly something special,” Wallen shared with Official Charts. “One Thing At A Time debuted at #40 and “I'm The Problem” is debuting at #1 only two years apart. I am so grateful and humbled my music is connecting in a place where we have spent time and worked to build a real and meaningful relationship with our fans there. Thank you guys so much.”

Last night Wallen took to the stage at The Roundhouse in London for a special one-off album release show. The evening saw the superstar perform an ‘in-the-round' style show, stripping the songs back to more acoustic versions.

“I'm The Problem” additionally debuted at No. 1 across five other countries – including New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Norway and Scotland – andbecame Wallen's third album to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, with the largest streaming week for any album in 2025 so far in both the U.S. and Canada.

Wallen's preceding albums – ‘Dangerous: The Double Album' and ‘One Thing At A Time' – have resided in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 chart for more than 100 weeks each, making him the first artist ever to achieve that feat.

Wallen's coinciding 2025 “I'm The Problem Tour” kicks off 20th June 2025 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.
