Morgan Wallen Stops Short Of Tying Country Royalty With Another No. 1

Morgan Wallen Almost Rules With “Don’t We”

“Don’t We” steps up from No. 4 to No. 2 on the Country Airplay chart, one of the busiest and most competitive radio rankings published by Billboard – and the longest, as it includes 60 spaces. It’s a roster that Wallen has ruled multiple times in the past, and with only a handful of albums, he has made himself one of the most successful hitmakers of all time.

Wallen is steady with his 20 No. 1s on the Country Airplay chart. He has sent 37 tunes to the tally, 24 of which have reached the top 10. Only four of those cuts have failed to run the show. “Don’t We” is his only hit to peak in the runner-up rung, though it will likely not hold there for very long.

Here are all of Morgan Wallen’s No. 1s on the Country Airplay chart.

• “20 Cigarettes”
• “Chasin’ You”
• “Cowgirls” with Ernest
• “I Got Better”
• “I Had Some Help” with Post Malone
• “I’m the Problem”
• “Just in Case”
• “Last Night”
• “Lies, Lies, Lies”
• “Love Somebody”
• “Man Made a Bar” with Eric Church
• “Mamaw’s House” with Thomas Rhett
• “More Than My Hometown”
• “Sand in My Boots”
• “Thinkin’ Bout Me”
• “Thought You Should Know”
• “Up Down” with Florida Georgia Line
• “Wasted on You”
• “Whiskey Glasses”
• “You Proof”

Morgan Wallen Could Pass Luke Combs in a Week

For the moment, Wallen holds his tie with both Brad Paisley and Luke Combs, who have also racked up a milestone 20 rulers. If “Don’t We” manages to rise again, which seems likely, he will pass both of those singer-songwriters and join Keith Urban and Thomas Rhett, who have snagged 21 rulers throughout the years.

Jason Aldean Claims the Fourth-Most No. 1s Ever

Aldean earns another winner on the Country Airplay chart this week as “Don’t Tell on Me” steps up one space. He has now accrued 27 No. 1s on the radio ranking, and this latest single is an important one.

Only days ago, Aldean was tied with Alan Jackson, George Strait and Luke Bryan, as all four men claimed 26 No. 1s. Now he sits alone and claims the fourth-most rulers of all time. Aldean lands behind Kenny Chesney (33 No. 1s), Blake Shelton (30) and Tim McGraw (29).

Here are all of Jason Aldean’s No. 1s on Billboard‘s Country Airplay chart.
