Morgan Wallen’s new album One Thing At A Time got here out in March, and the controversial nation singer has spent the previous 11 weeks within the #1 spot on the Billboard 200, that means that he now has spent probably the most consecutive weeks at #1 in 25 years. As Billboard notes, the final album to realize such an uninterrupted reign was the Titanic soundtrack, which spent its first 16 weeks at #1 when it was launched in 1998.
Before the Titanic soundtrack, the final album to spend its first 11 weeks at #1 was Whitney Houston’s Whitney in 1987, and earlier than that the one different album to take action was Stevie Wonder’s Songs In The Key Of Life, which managed to spend its first 13 weeks at #1 from 1976 to 1977.
There are, after all, albums in current reminiscence that spent greater than 11 weeks at #1 — the newest being Bad Bunny’s Un Verano Sin Ti, however its run within the prime spot passed off over 13 nonconsecutive weeks. In his personal nation style, Wallen has probably the most weeks at #1 for any nation album since Taylor Swift’s Fearless, which spent 11 nonconsecutive weeks at #1 from 2008-09.
Wallen’s second album Dangerous, which got here out in 2021, spent its first 10 weeks at #1.
Earlier this yr, the nation singer’s One Thing At A Time single “Last Night” grew to become his first #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and it has spent six nonconsecutive weeks on the prime.
