With I’m The Downside securing its twelfth nonconsecutive week at #1 on the Billboard 200 this week with a complete of 121,000 items, Wallen has now spent his forty first week at #1 album chart. In doing so, the “Final Night time” singer has now spent the second-most weeks atop the chart this century, passing Adele’s 40 weeks. He’s now second solely to Taylor Swift, who owns a staggering 86 weeks at #1.
Moreover, Wallen has now firmly planted himself eighth all-time in whole weeks spent at #1 on the Billboard 200 within the chart’s historical past. Becoming a member of the likes of The Beatles, Garth Brooks, Michael Jackson and extra, he has now handed the likes of Drake, Elton John, Eminem, Prince and The Rolling Stones for many weeks spent atop the chart.
The High 10 all-time is as follows:

For now, nonetheless, Wallen stays at #8 all time, which is nothing in need of unimaginable given the truth that he didn’t debut at #1 on the chart till January 23, 2021, with the discharge of Harmful: The Double Album. Along with his 41 weeks atop the album over the previous 4 and a half years, he has spent roughly 17% of the time at #1 on the Billboard 200 since then. Take note, that is an all-genre chart, that means he’s competing with the likes of giants such because the aforementioned Swift, Drake, Kendrick Lamar, Dangerous Bunny and extra.
No matter your ideas on Wallen, from his off-stage controversies to his total sound, there’s merely no denying the ability he has each on popular culture and the charts themselves. His success over the previous 5 years is nothing in need of unprecedented and can probably by no means be replicated by one other nation artist for the foreseeable future.
