Dangerous was the last album; 2021; thirty track album when released, then on the third Friday, two bonus songs were added. Thirty songs out of the thirty-two have certified Gold, Platinum, or Multiplatinum. This is an all-time record for albums on the US market. Three days after the bonus songs drop; Wallen used an illegal word caught on camera; the mob embarked on trying to cancel him. They thought it'd be easy, but they should know now, but don't, cause they never learn; DON'T MESS WITH OUR MUSIC!!! Anyway, Dangerous was a 3 vinyl LP set. Billboard nowadays count streaming into a total unit count weekly for ranking albums, but the streaming standard is very tough (1,250 song streams to equal one album sale), and Wallen fans are mostly young and mostly stream, yet Dangerous still got 10 weeks at #1 in the USA all ten weeks from debut. Dangerous now has something like 125 weeks as a top 10 USA album, which is 40 more weeks as a top 10 than any single-act album in chart history not counting seven soundtracks / original cast albums. When you do count those other albums, Dangerous is second place all-time to My Fair Lady, 1956, which spent 173 weeks as a top 10 album. This song is from the new album; 36 songs; dropped March 3. Has been #1 fifteen weeks. The most #1 weeks for any album since Adele's 21 album in 2011-12. It is a 3-vinyl set just like Dangerous. For most weeks cumulative albums for a career on the Top Country Albums Chart (TCA), Wallen is 3rd place all-time with just 3 albums; 117 weeks at #1. Garth has the most with 173 wks; Alabama is 2nd with 125 wks. This song has been #1 on the Hot 100 for 13 wks. The most ever for a country-charted song and the first by a male country soloist since Eddie Rabbit's Love A Rainy Night 42 years ago. It surpassed Johnny Horton's Battle of New Orleans and Kenny Roger's Lady from 1959 and 1980 for most weeks. These two prior songs each had 6 weeks at #1. Some will comment and say this is pop country; and I would agree but say "so"; so too have been the other 20 country charted songs to ever go #1 on the Hot 100. No more pop than Love A Rainy Night. Wallen was not a writer on this song, but was a writer on 16 from Dangerous and 12 from the new album; and is a writer on a former #1 country song this year; and another that made the top 10. He has had 63 Hot 100 hits; the most for any country core artist. Tim McGraw second with 60; Kenny Chesney third with 58. Brenda Lee fourth with 48.
I like that you don't say in your title first time reaction because there's no way all the other guys have never heard of a song before I commend you commend you
