Morgan Wallen Dominates Hot 100 With Six of Top 10 Spots, Tops Chart With Tate McRae on ‘What I Want’

Morgan Wallen has taken over the charts this week as “What I Want” featuring Tate McRae has topped Billboard’s Hot 100, while his fourth album I’m The Problem landed atop the albums chart as the biggest debut of 2025 so far. Overall, Wallen has six songs in the Top 10 this week, including all of the top three slots.

“What I Want” is Wallen’s fourth Hot 100 chart-topper, and the first for McRae, whose biggest hit to this point has been 2023’s “Greedy,” which peaked at Number Three on the Hot 100. The song garnered 31.2 million streams, per Luminate. “Just in Case” secured the second slot, while title track “I’m The Problem” came in third. Wallen dethrones Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s “Luther,” which had spent the past 13 weeks atop the Hot 100 prior to this week.

I’m The Problem itself opened with 493,000 units, according to Luminate, buoyed by sky-high streaming numbers as the album racked up 462.63 million streams in its first week. It took less than a day for the album to become the most-streamed country record of the year on the major streaming platforms. I’m The Problem also secured 133,000 album sales as well.

Wallen dethroned The Weeknd’s Hurry Up Tomorrow for the biggest album debut of the year. Despite his own controversies in years past, Wallen has proven to be one of the biggest superstars in the country. Wallen’s impressive opening this week reflects a continued surge in country music the singer has helped bolster over the past five years. While the streaming era has minted several stars like Luke Combs and Zach Bryan, Wallen remains the biggest act. Prior to I’m The Problem, Wallen topped the charts with Dangerous: The Double Album and One Thing at a Time, both of which remain in the top 15 years after release.

As The Hollywood Reporter first reported last month, Wallen’s record label Big Loud has cashed in on that popularity, selling a minority stake in his catalog to the UMG-backed Chord Music partners for $200 million.
