Morgan Wallen continues to lead country music’s album charts, building on a record that places him ahead of some of the genre’s most successful artists.
On Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart dated October 17, 2026, Wallen’s I’m the Problem spent its 49th nonconsecutive week at No. 1, bringing his career total to 235 weeks at the top.
That figure makes Wallen the artist with the most cumulative weeks at No. 1 in the chart’s history, surpassing longtime country stars such as Garth Brooks and Taylor Swift.
The Top Country Albums chart was introduced in January 1964, with Johnny Cash becoming its first chart-topper. Since then, it has documented decades of country music success, from traditional performers to modern crossover artists.
Across more than six decades, only 21 artists have spent at least 50 weeks at No. 1. The group includes three female solo artists and two groups.
Wallen’s continued success reflects the strong commercial performance of his albums, adding to a chart record that now spans 235 weeks at the top.
