Morgan Wallen Makes History Again With a Billboard Milestone Most Artists Never Reach

Another week, and another record-breaking moment for Morgan Wallen.

The East Tennessee country star just pulled off what most artists only dream of, and he did it without even dropping a new record this week. Wallen’s second studio album, Dangerous: The Double Album, just notched its 260th week on the Billboard 200 chart. That is five full years sitting among the most popular albums in America, which is an achievement that puts Wallen in rare company and cements his place in the country music record books.

For those keeping track, Dangerous is not even the first of Wallen’s albums to reach that insane five-year milestone. His debut album, If I Know Me, already hit that mark over 100 weeks ago and continues to chart with 376 total weeks on the Billboard 200. And if that is not enough to rattle the genre, Wallen currently has all four of his full-length studio albums charting on the Billboard 200 right now, which is a feat most artists will never touch, let alone maintain week after week.

But Dangerous stands out for more than just its chart longevity. It also spent 97 weeks at number one on the Top Country Albums chart, holding court for nearly two years straight. That is a third of its total time on the chart spent in the top spot, which proves just how dominant the record has been across the board. And this week, Dangerous is not just coasting because it is climbing. It jumped from number eight to number three on the Top Country Albums list, leaped from number 45 to number 13 on Top Streaming Albums, and made a massive move on the all-genre Billboard 200 from number 56 to number 18.

And if you thought that was the whole story, then buckle up. Wallen’s newest album, I’m the Problem, is holding strong at number two, just behind Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl. Meanwhile, One Thing at a Time roared back into the top ten, climbing from number 36 to number nine, getting closer to that 150-week milestone. Even If I Know Me, Wallen’s first shot out of the gate, re-entered the Billboard 200 at number 127 after years of refusing to fade into memory.

What is more, Wallen has ten songs currently on various Billboard charts, which shows his grip on country fans and streaming platforms alike has never been stronger. With the holiday music finally clearing off the charts, Wallen’s hits have surged back into the spotlight. And with Dangerous and One Thing at a Time continuing to rack up wild streaming numbers, it is clear his momentum is not slowing anytime soon.

Wallen is not just riding a hot streak. He is setting the bar. In a music world that shifts faster than the wind, Morgan Wallen has built a legacy of staying power. He keeps his boots planted deep in the charts and his voice echoing through speakers everywhere. Whether you love him or love to hate him, one thing is for sure. Morgan Wallen is making history, and country music has not seen anything quite like it in a long time.
