Morgan Wallen’s latest album easily cruised to another top position on multiple charts this morning, including the Billboard 200 and the RS 200. According to Billboard’s rankings, that’s the first time any country album has spent its first nine weeks at number one. No other country artist has ever achieved that, putting Morgan Wallen in the history books with more records potentially ahead.
Perhaps more astoundingly, Wallen is now chasing an 11-week record set by Taylor Swift’s Fearless back in 2008-9. The only other artists to beat that streak are Billy Ray Cyrus, whose Some Gave All spent 17 weeks at the top of the charts in 1992, and Garth Brooks, whose Ropin’ the Wind spent 18 weeks at number one in 1991-2. But surprisingly, none of those artists have clocked nine straight chart-topping weeks out of the gate.Recent Posts
