Morgan Wallen is promoting a lot of music at the moment. The country superstar is still pushing tracks from I’m the Problem, his latest No. 1 album, which arrived last May. Its eighth single, “Don’t We,” continues to rise and reaches new peaks on multiple Billboard charts this frame. At the same time, “I Can’t Love You Anymore,” his collaboration with country superstar Ella Langley, is also gaining ground.
Only weeks after that team-up became available, Wallen returned on Friday (July 24) with another solo tune, “Been by Now.” There is no word yet on whether the track introduces a new album, will appear on a deluxe edition of I’m the Problem or is simply a standalone release, though American listeners quickly turned it into a bestseller on iTunes. As that new chapter begins, “Don’t We” is blocked from special positions on two major radio rankings by the same country smash.
Morgan Wallen Nearly Reaches the Radio Chart’s Top 10
“Don’t We” rises from No. 13 to a new high of No. 11 on the Radio Songs chart. The track misses out on entering the top 10 on the all-format ranking that details the tracks that reach the largest audiences on radio stations throughout the United States by only a single spot.
Jason Aldean claims the lowest position inside the highest tier on the Radio Songs chart this frame with “Don’t Tell on Me.” His latest single lifts to No. 10, becoming, somewhat shockingly, the superstar’s first career top 10 on the Radio Songs tally. “Stateside” by PinkPantheress and Zara Larsson vacates that rung and slips from No. 10 to No. 12, making room for the country favorite.
Morgan Wallen Has Peaked at No. 11 With Four Songs
“Don’t We” becomes the fourth Wallen track to peak at No. 11 on the Radio Songs chart. It joins “I’m the Problem,” “Thinkin’ Bout Me” and “20 Cigarettes,” all of which also came within one position of entering the uppermost region. Three of those four near-misses come from I’m the Problem.
Wallen has already collected six top 10 hits on the all-genre radio roster, and he may soon score a seventh. “I Had Some Help,” his collaboration with Post Malone, remains his only No. 1 and it spent a month running the show. “Last Night,” “I Got Better,” “Love Somebody,” “You Proof” and “Cowgirls” with Ernest peaked at Nos. 2, 6, 9 – and the last two – 10, respectively.
Morgan Wallen Blocked From Another Country No. 1
Aldean also prevents Wallen from earning another leader on the Country Airplay chart. “Don’t We” holds in the runner-up position for another frame, matching its previously-established peak, while “Don’t Tell on Me” remains at No. 1 for a third period.
Wallen has ruled the 60-position country radio tally with a landmark 20 songs. He is currently tied with Brad Paisley and Luke Combs on the list of artists that have racked up the most leaders, though “Don’t We” may soon give him a twenty-first champion and move him ahead of both of those singer-songwriters.
“Don’t Tell on Me” recently brought Aldean to a career 27 Country Airplay chart No. 1s. His latest win allowed him to break out of a tie with Alan Jackson, George Strait and Luke Bryan and claim the fourth-most rulers in the ranking’s history.
Morgan Wallen’s Single Reaches a New Hot 100 Peak
“Don’t We” also manages a new peak on the Billboard Hot 100, climbing three spaces to No. 16. The tally – the most important for songs in the U.S. – combines streaming activity, song sales and radio airplay to determine the most popular tracks in America each week.
Wallen’s single holds at its No. 6 peak on the Hot Country Songs chart and improves to No. 18 on the Country Streaming Songs chart, where the powerhouse is often the most successful act.
Morgan Wallen and Ella Langley Climb Together
“I Can’t Love You Anymore” also inches closer to the Radio Songs chart’s top 10. The Wallen and Langley collaboration rises one space to a new peak of No. 13, sitting just two positions behind “Don’t We.” Wallen has a pair of singles inching their way toward becoming top 10 smashes on the busiest radio tally in the nation.
That No. 13 placement helps the duet tie “Lies, Lies, Lies” and “More Than My Hometown,” which similarly stalled in that lucky spot. “I Can’t Love You Anymore” also lives within the top 10 on the Country Airplay, Streaming Songs and Digital Song Sales charts, settling at Nos. 3, 7 and 8, respectively.
