For instance,\u00a0<em>Billboard<\/em>\u00a0released its list of the Top 200 Albums of the 21<sup>st<\/sup>\u00a0Century in January. Wallen\u2019s\u00a0<em>Dangerous: The Double Album<\/em>\u00a0topped the list after spending more than 100 weeks in the top 10 of the\u00a0<em>Billboard<\/em>\u00a0200 Albums chart and topping it for 10 weeks. More recently, his album\u00a0<em>One Thing At a Time<\/em> has ushered in another milestone and helped Wallen break a record previously held by Garth Brooks.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-19\">\n<h2 id=\"video-header\" class=\"g1-delta g1-delta-2nd g1-collection-title\">Videos<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<p>Released in March 2023,\u00a0<em>One Thing at a Time<\/em>\u00a0has been a smash hit for Wallen. As of this week, it topped the\u00a0<em>Billboard<\/em>\u00a0Top Country Albums chart\u00a0for 75 nonconsecutive weeks. That gives the \u201cSand in My Boots\u201d singer a total of 174 weeks at the top of the country albums survey. Until now, he was tied with Brooks at 173 weeks.<\/p>\n<p>174 weeks is more than three years. Spending that much time at the top of the albums chart would be impressive for any artist. However, in Wallen\u2019s case it\u2019s a jaw-dropping feat. He achieved the goal in three studio albums\u2013<em>If I Know Me\u00a0<\/em>(2018),\u00a0<em>Dangerous: The Double Album<\/em>\u00a0(2021), and\u00a0<em>One Thing at a Time<\/em> (2023)\u2013over the course of seven years.<\/p>\n<p>Brooks spent 173 weeks at the top of\u00a0the country albums chart, but it took him much longer to achieve it. His sophomore album\u00a0<em>No Fences<\/em>\u00a0(1990) was his first to top the chart. Since then, he has launched nine more studio albums, two compilations, a live album, and four boxed sets to the top. In short, it took Brooks 35 years and 17 releases to do what Wallen did since 2018.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-morgan-wallen-will-likely-widen-the-gap-later-this-year\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Morgan Wallen Will Likely Widen the Gap Later This Year<\/h3>\n<p>Morgan Wallen will likely add to his time at the top of the country albums chart when he releases\u00a0<em>I\u2019m the Problem<\/em>. The new studio album will likely be out later this year. So far, he has released a handful of singles from the forthcoming collection and fans are already in love.<\/p>\n<p>He released \u201cLies, Lies, Lies\u201d last July. Then, he followed that with \u201cLove Somebody\u201d in October. Wallen closed the year with \u201cSmile\u201d on New Year\u2019s Eve. A month later, he released the album\u2019s title track \u201cI\u2019m the Problem.\u201d So far, the four singles have garnered a total of 495,128,963 streams. You read that correctly. He has garnered almost half a billion streams with just four songs. In short, his chart record is going to be hard to break.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Morgan Wallen\u00a0has seen some major career milestones this year.
