Morgan Wallen‘s new album I’m the Problem is already breaking records, and it’s not even out yet.
The country singer has been steadily releasing tracks from the upcoming project in an effort to hype up his fans. It’s a strategy that is clearly working, as those tracks have found their way into the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart.
Per Billboard, with his latest release, “Just in Case,” debuting at No. 4 on the chart, Wallen has become the first artist to have five songs from an unreleased album reach the Top 10.
The previous record was set by Taylor Swift with four from her Red album in 2012. Post Malone matched that number in 2019 with his project Hollywood’s Bleeding.
Wallen’s songs to reach the Top 10 are:
- “Lies Lies Lies” debuted at No. 7, where it also peaked July 20, 2024.
- “Love Somebody” debuted at the top of the chart on Nov. 2, 2024.
- “Smile” reached No. 4 on Jan. 18, 2025.
- “I’m the Problem” debuted and peaked at No. 2 on Feb. 15, 2025.
- “Just in Case” debuted at No. 4 on April 5, 2025.
The publication notes that Wallen’s sixth song from the forthcoming album is already sitting at No. 17 on the chart; “I’m a Little Crazy” could extend his record if it breaks the Top 10 before the project arrives on May 16.
