Of the several charts Billboard publishes each week that detail the most successful tunes at certain radio formats – which typically focus on one genre – the Country Airplay tally is certainly one of the most competitive. Radio matters more when it comes to scoring a smash with the country audience than perhaps any other style. Landing a major win on the Country Airplay list remains a battle with each and every single, no matter how popular an artist is.
Only a handful of acts claim multiple spaces this time around, and Morgan Wallen is tied with several other stars for the most current hits. While he might not run the show at the moment, all three of Wallen’s tunes establish new peak positions simultaneously.
Morgan Wallen Pushes “Don’t We” Into the Top 10
Of the trio of tracks that credit Wallen that can currently be found on the Country Airplay chart – which features 60 spaces, more than any other airplay roster ranked by Billboard – only one appears inside the top 10. “Don’t We,” the eighth single from his blockbuster album I’m the Problem, which recently turned one year old, advances from No. 11 to No. 9 on the current rundown. The track breaks into the top 10 for the first time and becomes Wallen’s twenty-third smash to reach that region.
Here are all of Morgan Wallen’s top 10s on Billboard‘s Country Airplay chart.
- “20 Cigarettes”
- “Chasin’ You”
- “Cowgirls” with Ernest
- “Don’t We”
- “Everything I Love”
- “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”
- “One Thing at a Time”
- “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 Sends Three Singles to New Peaks
Another two singles which credit Wallen – neither of which are solo affairs – also rank higher than ever before on this week’s Country Airplay chart. “I Can’t Love You Anymore,” his recently shared team-up with Ella Langley, approaches the loftiest tier as it ascends from No. 15 to No. 13 in only its fifth frame on the list.
A little further down on the roster comes “McArthur.” That song features four country heavyweights, and Wallen joined Hardy, Eric Church and Tim McGraw on the superstar event. 17 turns into its run, “McArthur” lifts one spot and breaks into the top 20 for the first time.
“Don’t We” May Work Its Way to No. 1
“Don’t We” is one of only three singles by Wallen to hit the Country Airplay chart’s top 10, but so far, not make it to No. 1. Earlier this year, the singer-songwriter scored his milestone twentieth ruler, becoming one of a select few names in the field to reach that landmark. Only “Everything I Love” and “One Thing at a Time,” which stalled at Nos. 3 and 8, respectively – both in 2023, coincidentally – missed the mark. In the coming weeks, “Don’t We” will likely continue to establish new peak positions, and it could make a play for the highest space.
“Don’t We” Reaches New Peaks on Non-Radio Charts Too
“Don’t We” lives on a quartet of Billboard rankings, and it hits never-before-seen high points on all but the Billboard Hot 100. On that tally, “Don’t We” once rose to No. 48, and it now sits at No. 50, up nearly 20 spaces from just a few days ago.
In addition to the Country Airplay chart, “Don’t We” also reaches the top 10 for the first time on the Hot Country Songs ranking. Wallen earns his forty-fourth appearance within that space. “Don’t We” also steps up from No. 24 to No. 19 on the Radio Songs register, which is not centered completely around country music, although artists in that genre typically perform very well.
