Hello everyone, We’ve got some major news from the music world today! Country star Morgan Wallen has just shattered a Billboard Hot 100 record, surpassing Taylor Swift and Roddy Rich. Wallen’s latest song, “I Had Some Help,” a collaboration with Post Malone, has secured the top spot for an incredible 19 weeks, beating the previous record of 18 weeks held by Swift and Rich this decade.
One enthusiastic Post Malone fan account on X shared that the Wallen collaboration also “has returned to #1 on the US Spotify chart in its 27th day, gaining 3,125,853 streams.” Wallen’s fans were quick to celebrate, taking to social media to declare him the “GOAT” (Greatest Of All Time).
“He’s the hottest artist right now,” one fan wrote. “And he’s got everything lined up for it to stay that way for a long time. Everything he puts out is better than the last – it’s amazing to watch his trajectory. Love it!!”
Another fan added simply, “GOAT.” While another shared a more critical view of Taylor Swift, “Good Taylor hasn’t been good since she was country in my opinion I don’t get the hype at all. All her songs sound like a whiny spoken word poem.”
Morgan Wallen is no stranger to breaking records. Earlier this year, he dethroned Swift from another top spot when his album “One Thing At A Time” debuted, marking the most songs on the Streaming Songs chart at once. Wallen’s album had 36 tracks taking over 30 spots on the chart, surpassing Swift’s previous record.
However, Swift reclaimed her streaming chart dominance with the release of her album “The Tortured Poets Department,” which saw 31 songs occupying 31 spots on the chart. This ongoing back-and-forth between Wallen and Swift highlights the competitive and ever-evolving nature of the music industry.
But not all headlines about Wallen have been celebratory. Recently, the country star was arrested for reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct after throwing a chair off the roof of Chief’s bar in downtown Nashville. Weeks later, Wallen addressed the incident, expressing regret for his actions.
“I didn’t feel right publicly checking in until I made amends with some folks,” Wallen wrote. “I’ve touched base with Nashville law enforcement, my family, and the good people at Chief’s. I’m not proud of my behavior, and I accept responsibility.”
He continued, “I have the utmost respect for the officers working every day to keep us all safe. Regarding my tour, there will be no change.”
Morgan Wallen’s career continues to soar, with his record-breaking achievements solidifying his status as one of the biggest names in country music. Fans eagerly await what’s next for the “Whiskey Glasses” hitmaker, both on the charts and in his personal journey of growth and accountability.
