Success on streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music has helped Morgan Wallen separate himself from every other artist in the country genre. It took a couple of years for the style to catch on when it came to streaming sites, and Wallen’s immense popularity on those apps, especially with younger audiences, seems to have ushered in a new era for country music.
The Grammy nominee regularly appears on several of Billboard‘s streaming-focused charts with multiple singles, and he manages the feat again this week as a handful of tracks return to the most competitive streaming rundown in America.
Morgan Wallen Returns to the Streaming Chart With Two Hits
Two smashes by Wallen make their way back to the Streaming Songs chart, Billboard‘s list of the most-played tracks of any genre on streaming outlets in the United States. “I Had Some Help,” his collaboration with Post Malone, and “What I Want,” a team-up with Canadian pop singer Tate McRae, reenter the roster at Nos. 47 and 48, respectively.
Morgan Wallen Owns 10% of the Streaming List
Wallen owns 10% of the Streaming Songs chart, which includes 50 spaces. As both “I Had Some Help” and “What I Want” return, his other three wins rise compared to where they sat only a few days ago. “I Can’t Love You Anymore,” his recently released collaboration with country superstar Ella Langley, advances just one spot and makes a home at No. 9. Two solo cuts by Wallen, “I Got Better” and “I’m the Problem,” lift to Nos. 26 and 31, respectively.
Morgan Wallen Has Scored 81 Streaming Hits
Throughout his career, Wallen has scored 81 hits on the Streaming Songs chart, and 30 of those have cracked the top 10. Only five singles by Wallen have ruled the Streaming Songs tally, and three of them – “I Had Some Help” with Malone, “I’m the Problem” and “What I Want” with McRae – are present at the moment.
Morgan Wallen Dominates the Country Streaming Tally
Wallen’s performance on the Country Streaming Songs chart – which operates in an identical fashion to the Streaming Songs list, except only country music is considered for the roster – is even more impressive. The rundown features 25 spaces, and this time around, Wallen occupies just under one-third of every slot as he scores eight smashes.
Wallen owns four slots within the top 10, as “I Can’t Love You Anymore” with Langley, “I Got Better,” “I’m the Problem” and “I Had Some Help” with Malone appear at Nos. 3, 7, 8 and 10, respectively. The first three of those four hits are steady from last period, while “I Had Some Help” returns to the uppermost region.
“What I Want” nearly breaks back into the top 10, but “I Had Some Help” blocks it, and instead, it settles for eleventh place. Another trio of former top 10s from Wallen – “20 Cigarettes,” “Last Night” and “Just in Case” – step up slightly and land at Nos. 14, 15 and 19, respectively.
Morgan Wallen Charts Three Streaming Albums
Wallen’s popularity via streaming sites extends to the Top Streaming Albums chart as well. On that 50-space rundown, three of his four full-lengths can be found, and he scores multiple top 10s. I’m the Problem is steady at No. 3, One Thing at a Time pushes from No. 9 to No. 7, and Dangerous: The Double Album improves two slots to No. 11.
