Morgan Wallen Extends Record for Most Weeks at No. 1 on Country Albums Chart
Morgan Wallen has reached 235 weeks at No.
1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart, extending his record for the most weeks at the top.
His album I’m the Problem leads the chart dated Oct.
17 for the 49th nonconsecutive week.
The chart tracks country albums and began in 1964, when Johnny Cash’s Ring of Fire (The Best of Johnny Cash) topped its first edition.
Wallen first reached No.
1 a little more than six years ago, in August 2020, making his record total in a relatively short time.
Twenty-one artists have spent at least 50 weeks at No.
1, though Wallen’s total is far higher than any other artist’s.
The chart’s history also reflects how country music has changed: men dominate the list, while three women and two groups have reached the 50-week mark.
The account notes that greater inclusion in country music could change who joins that list in the future.
