Morgan Wallen’s “One Thing At A Time” has officially returned to the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s 200 album chart.
The massive 36-song record, which was released on March 3rd, first debuted on the chart on March 18th and spent its first 12 consecutive weeks at the top spot. After it fell the next two weeks, it returned to #1 in June, where it spent an additional three consecutive weeks into the month of July.
Well, after 7 months since the album dropped, it’s made its return to the highest position for its 16th nonconsecutive and total week with 74,500 equivalent album units in the U.S., making it the first album to hold the top spot for that long since “21” by Adele racked up 24 nonconsecutive weeks in 2011-2012.
Back in May, “Last Night” became the longest running #1 Country song in Billboard’s Hot 100 history. He also surpassed Taylor Swift to become the artist with the most weeks at No. 1 on the billboard 200 chart this decade.
After having the biggest streaming week ever for a Country album with One Thing At A Time, Morgan also earned his first No. 1 of his career on Billboard’s Hot 100 Chart with “Last Night,” becoming the first male country solo artist to accomplish that this century.
On top of all of that, Wallen also broke the record for most simultaneous entries for any artist in Hot 100 history, surpassing Drake with all 36 songs at once.
Whether ya love him or hate him, there’s no denying he’s still one of, if not thee, biggest country artists in the world at the moment.
