The new edition is available via Wallen’s website
After teasing a book containing a letter from his dad during an interview with Apple Music’s Kelleigh Bannen earlier this year, Morgan Wallen announces an I’m The Problem CD zine, available to fans beginning December 19th through Wallen’s website.
The limited edition, 100-page, glossy-cover zine includes interviews with Wallen – as well as producer Joey Moi, producer/songwriter Charlie Handsome, songwriter Blake Pendergrass, and the heartfelt opening letter from Tommy Wallen – along with never-before-seen photos, lyrics from all 37 tracks, and I’m The Problem on double CD. Together, the perspectives offer an inside look at the making of Wallen’s 12-week Billboard No. 1 album, I’m The Problem, directly from those who created it.
As Wallen reflected on working with his collaborators in the book, he shared, “I don’t really write songs unless Charlie [Handsome] is involved at this point in my career. Blake Pendergrass is another guy who’s been added into the fold over the last couple years, and I think he’s one the best songwriters in Nashville. I feel fortunate to have those types of guys helping me with the process. Once you figure out what you’re shooting for, you get in a rhythm of writing with those guys, and it really is fun.”
I’m The Problem arrived May 16th via Big Loud/Mercury Records and spent 12 non-consecutive weeks atop the Billboard 200 albums chart and 13 non-consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart. It became Wallen’s third consecutive album to spend at least ten weeks atop the Billboard 200 – making Wallen the first artist in history to achieve that feat.
Internationally, the album debuted at No. 1 in seven countries upon release and became Wallen’s first album to debut at No. 1 on the UK Official Charts, making him one of only five artists to debut at the summit with a country album. In Australia, I’m The Problem became the longest-running No. 1 album by a country artist in ten years, with three consecutive weeks atop the ARIA albums chart, while “What I Want,” featuring Tate McRae, spent five weeks at No. 1 on Australia’s Country Airplay chart.
