‘I’m the Problem’ Is Now 1 of the 6 Longest-Leading Country Airplay No. 1s – and Morgan Wallen Has 3 of Them

Morgan Wallen’s “I’m the Problem” leads Billboard’s Country Airplay chart for an eighth total and consecutive week. It holds atop the June 14-dated list with 27.1 million audience impressions (down 9% week-over-week) May 30-June 5, according to Luminate.

Concurrently, “Just in Case,” the Sneedville, Tenn., native’s latest single being worked to country radio, gives Wallen his 20th Country Airplay top 10 — 17 of which have hit No. 1. It rises 11-10 with a 10% advance to 17.7 million in reach. (Plus, Wallen’s “I Ain’t Coming Back,” featuring Post Malone, ranks at its No. 32 high, up 9% to 2.9 million.)

“I’m the Problem” is the third Country Airplay No. 1 and title track from Wallen’s new album, which launched atop the Billboard 200 and Top Country Albums (dated May 31) with 2025’s largest week by equivalent album units: 493,000 in the United States.

Since the Country Airplay chart launched in January 1990, “I’m the Problem” is just the sixth hit to dominate for eight or more weeks — and Wallen owns three of them, as his latest joins “You Proof” (10 weeks at No. 1 beginning in October 2022) and “Last Night” (eight weeks, 2023).

The other three such supremacies are Nate Smith’s “World on Fire” (10 weeks, 2023-24), Alan Jackson and Jimmy Buffett’s “It’s Five O’ Clock Somewhere” (eight, 2003), and Lonestar’s “Amazed” (eight, 1999).

Meanwhile, Wallen ties Luke Combs for the most Country Airplay top 10s dating to the former’s first week in the tier — on the May 12, 2018, chart, “Up Down,” featuring Florida Georgia Line, reached the region on its way to No. 1. (Combs boasts 22 total top 10s, having notched his first two in 2017.)
