Wallen continues to break records with each album release
Morgan Wallen’s fourth studio album, I’m The Problem, debuts atop of the Billboard 200 chart, marking the year’s biggest album release. Billboard reports the 37-song project released by Big Loud/Republic/Mercury, sold 493,000 equivalent album units in the United States, ending in the week of May 22nd, according to the tracking company Luminate. The project also lands the “largest streaming week for any album in 2025.”
I’m the Problem is the country star’s third Billboard 200 chart-topper. It follows 2003’s triple album, One Thing at a Time, and 2020’s Dangerous: The Double Album. The former has spent 19 nonconsecutive weeks at the top while the latter spent ten consecutive weeks there. Neither of those project have left the weekly top 50 since their respective releases, scoring Wallen as the only act with two concurrent albums in the weekly top five this year and the first to have two albums spend over 100 weeks on the chart.
Wallen also marks the milestone by having the most top 10s from any album prior to its release on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. I’m The Problem was preceded by eight charting songs in the top 20, with six in the top 10.
On its release day of May 16th, Wallen broke Spotify’s most streamed country album record in only one day. The project also marks the platform’s most streamed album in 2025 so far. Problem also broke single-day Apple and Amazon Music streaming records within hours of its release.
Last weekend, Wallen celebrated the album’s release by closing out his curated sold-out Sand in My Boots Festival. Wallen’s 23-song setlist included the live debut of seven songs from I’m the Problem in front of 40,000 screaming fans in Gulf Shores, Alabama.
The album features collaborations with with Eric Church, Ernest, Hardy, Post Malone and Tate McRae.
The project sparked Wallen’s 2025 I’m The Problem Tour. Kicking off June 20th at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas, Wallen’s 20-show run will include stops in Seattle, Washington; Foxborough, Massachusetts; Toronto, Ontario and more. With a second stop recently 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.
