Morgan Wallen's latest album 'I'm the Problem' has reached number one on the Billboard 200 chart, a feat previously achieved by only one other act - South Korean boy band Stray Kids. The country superstar traded places with Taylor Swift's blockbuster album 'The Life of a Showgirl', which had been ruling the top spot for most of the previous weeks.
In its first week of availability, 'I'm the Problem' earned around 85,200 equivalent units, a significant increase of nearly 23% from the previous period. In contrast, 'The Life of a Showgirl' managed around 72,400 equivalent units, a decline of almost 11% from the previous frame.
Wallen's album dominates three out of four Billboard rankings, including Top Streaming Albums and Top Country Albums charts, where it takes up first place. However, it has slipped to number 34 on the Top Album Sales list, 10 spaces behind 'The Life of a Showgirl', which is still in the top two spots across all four charts.
This achievement marks Wallen's second consecutive week at the top of the Billboard 200 chart, following Stray Kids' initial feat. The South Korean boy band had previously debuted its 'Do It' EP at number one and again scored a second champion with 'Karma' in early September.

. Stray kids are amazing too btw, I've been listening to their "do it" ep nonstop! the billboards chart is pretty cool and all, but can we talk about how morgan wallen's album message resonates with people? it's like, he's speaking truth to power and giving a voice to the country music fans who feel underrepresented 
.
. I mean, he's got some decent songs but I still prefer Stray Kids' energy 
. Their music just feels more fresh and experimental to me. But I guess 'I'm the Problem' really resonated with people this time around 
. Still, Taylor Swift is an icon for a reason 
. She always puts out fire music. Maybe Wallen's just riding her coattails a bit 
.
. I love how he's breaking records and proving himself as a country superstar. The fact that he's dominating three out of four charts is no joke 
but I think what's crazy is how fast 'I'm the Problem' jumped from 23% more units in its first week compared to the previous period 
. It's clear that Wallen has some serious game on his hands 
. And it's dope that Stray Kids got their moment too, now it's like a fun competition between these artists 
. I wonder what's next for both of them?
. It'll be interesting to see how this shift plays out over time, maybe we'll get another surprise winner soon? 
! They're always blasting it in the car or at home, and now they're going crazy about this new album 
. But, as a parent, it's interesting to see how quickly he was able to take over the charts 
. Meanwhile, I'm just happy my kid is enjoying music and expressing themselves through art 
. Who cares what chart he's at? 
and i gotta say, his new album 'i'm the problem' is straight fire 
.
, but can't say the same for taylor swift's album "the life of a showgirl"... she's still slaying over there 
. strays kids are on fire tho! their comeback is everything 
. don't get me wrong, morgan wallen's got some sick tracks too... but this whole "i'm the problem" thing is kinda weird 
. But honestly, Taylor Swift's 'The Life of a Showgirl' had some stiff competition 
That's a pretty bold statement, if you ask me.
i mean, his fans were still hyped and all but some people thought they were being unfair lol, but anyway, 85k units in its first week is no joke 
and stray kids are super talented btw, they deserve that feat too
