Morgan Wallen has no 'Problem' staying at #1 for another week

No Comments on Morgan Wallen has no 'Problem' staying at #1 for another week

Morgan Wallen‘s new album, I’m the Problem, stays at #1 on the Billboard 200 for a second week, but that’s not the most impressive chart achievement for the singer.

He currently has three albums in the top 10 at the same time: I’m the Problem at #1, One Thing at a Time at #4 and Dangerous: The Double Album at #10. He’s the second artist to have three top-10 albums simultaneously this year, after Kendrick Lamar‘s GNX, DAMN. and good kid, m.A.A.d city all returned to the top 10 after his Super Bowl performance.

But notably, Morgan and Kendrick are the only living male artists since 1966 to have least three albums in the top 10 at the same time. The last male artist to do that was 90-year-old trumpet player and bandleader Herb Alpert.

Morgan’s new album includes his duet with Tate McRae, “What I Want.”

Taylor Swift had three albums in the top 10 in 2024, but that was old hat for her – she’s done it 22 times in her career.

No Comments on Old Dominion wants you to meet 'Barbara'

Old Dominion‘s sixth album is set to arrive Aug. 22, and her name is Barbara.

While it’s not obvious why the band chose that as the title – aside from the cover photo of a cigarette-smoking, sunglasses-wearing woman under a hairdryer – it does seem to be their most transparent record ever.

“The thing about this crazy career,” lead singer Matthew Ramsey says, “so many incredible things have happened, but so much life has also happened. We've had people pass away, chapters close, people falling in love, obviously health challenges, if you read People.”

Matthew talked about his own struggles with depression while battling three injuries in a recent People article.

“When we write for Old Dominion, especially this time, we're bringing more of ourselves into the room,” he says. “These are our songs, so they should be pulled from our lives. You don't realize as you're writing necessarily, but when we listened to these 13 songs, we all realized: it's our most personal record ever.”

OD kicks off their How Good Is That 2025 World Tour Thursday in Charleston, South Carolina, before releasing the new track “Water My Flowers” on Friday.

Here’s the complete song list for Barbara:
“Making Good Time”
“Water My Flowers”
“Me Most Nights”
“Man or the Song”
“Break Your Mama's Heart”
“Miss You Man”
“Talk Country”
“Late Great Heartbreak”
“Crying in a Beach Bar”
“One of Us”
“What Doesn't Kill A Memory”
“Sip In the Right Direction”
“Goodnight Music City”
