Morgan Wallen is now the biggest star in country music, and it’s not really remotely close.
He’s racking up achievements that were previously deemed impossible.
And Morgan Wallen broke one Garth Brooks record that left the woke outrage mob stunned.
Country music superstar Morgan Wallen is on a roll after his career was nearly ruined by cancel culture.
The woke left-wing outrage mob put him in their crosshairs and nearly erased him from the country music industry after a video was leaked online in which a clearly excessively inebriated Wallen uttered a racial slur in jest.
That prompted radio stations, streaming platforms, and Country Music Television (CMT) to ban his music, while his agent and record label severed all ties with him.
In another incident in which the woke left-wing outrage mob came for him, a separate video leaked in which Wallen was spotted at an Alabama bar without a mask during the height of COVID hysteria, causing Saturday Night Live to cancel his scheduled appearance on the show.
But he’s fought his way back, becoming the undisputed biggest star in country music today.
Morgan Wallen breaks one of Garth Brook’s musical records
Of course, anytime a country music artist reaches the top of the industry, they’re instantly compared to the legendary career of Garth Brooks, who set the standard by selling more albums than any other country music artist in history.
In fact, his 2014 world tour – which kicked off some thirteen years after he retired from country music – remains the highest-grossing country music tour of all time, generating nearly $375 million.
Brooks’ 1991 album Ropin’ the Wind, which produced hits like Shameless, What She’s Doing Now, and The River, previously held the record for most non-consecutive weeks at number one on the Billboard 200 all-genre chart by a country music album after holding down the top spot for a total of 18 weeks.
But Wallen’s third studio album, One Thing at a Time, which was released almost exactly one year ago, recently returned to the top spot of the Billboard 200, marking the album’s 19th non-consecutive week as the most popular album in America – regardless of genre–breaking Brooks’ decades-old record.
One Thing at a Time has also now spent more weeks at the top of the Billboard 200 than any album put out by any artist from any genre since Abele’s 21 held the distinction for a total of 24 weeks between 2011 and 2012.
Morgan Wallen’s career going to the next level
One Thing at a Time Wallen’s career into the stratosphere in 2023.
As a matter of fact, upon the album’s release last year, each and every one of its 36 tracks made the Billboard Hot 100 all-genre chart, setting an all-time record for the most songs on the chart simultaneously by a single artist.
Most country artists never produce any song that makes the Billboard Hot 100, much less 36.
The accompanying tour for the album sold out stadiums across the country.
Wallen survived cancel culture to become bigger than ever.
Now he’s passed one of the biggest legends in country music, Garth Brooks, with his latest record.
