Country music sensation Morgan Wallen is making waves in the music industry, smashing a record formerly held by pop princess Taylor Swift. His recent chart-topper, “I Had Some Help,” a joint venture with Post Malone, has dominated the Billboard Hot 100 Chart for an astounding 19 weeks, outshining Swift and Roddy Rich’s 18-week reign. This remarkable feat underscores Wallen’s growing influence in the music scene this decade.
A dedicated Post Malone fan account revealed on platform X that the Wallen-Malone collaboration “has returned to #1 on the US Spotify chart in its 27th day, gaining 3,125,853 streams.” Wallen’s followers, thrilled by this news, flooded social media platforms with commendations, hailing him as the “GOAT” (Greatest Of All Time).
“He’s the hottest artist right now,” one ardent fan declared. “And he’s got everything lined up for it to stay that way for a long time. Everything he puts out is better than the last – it’s amazing to watch his trajectory. Love it!!”
Another admirer chimed in with a simple “GOAT.” A third observer opined, “Good Taylor hasn’t been good since she was country in my opinion I don’t get the hype at all. All her songs sound like a whin-y spoken word poem.”
This isn’t Wallen’s first victory over Swift on the charts. His recent album, “One Thing At A Time,” shattered Swift’s record for the most songs on the Streaming Songs chart simultaneously, with 36 tracks occupying 30 spots. But Swift managed to claw back some of her former glory with her album “The Tortured Poets Department,” which secured 31 spots on the streaming chart.

However, Wallen’s record-breaking achievement is tinged with controversy due to his recent legal troubles. He was apprehended for reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct following an incident at Chief’s bar in downtown Nashville on April 7 where he threw a chair off the roof.
In response to the incident, Wallen stated, “I didn’t feel right publicly checking in until I made amends with some folks. I’ve touched base with Nashville law enforcement, my family, and the good people at Chief’s. I’m not proud of my behavior, and I accept responsibility.”
He continued, “I have the utmost respect for the officers working every day to keep us all safe. Regarding my tour, there will be no change.”
Despite the scandal, Wallen’s career is far from faltering. His star continues to rise.
