Morgan Wallen just keeps setting records.
After releasing his latest album, One Thing At a Time, Morgan broke the record for the most songs on the Billboard Hot 100 chart by a single artist, with all 36 tracks making the chart.
The album also set the record for the largest streaming week in history for any country album, and was the most-streamed country album in a single day by a male country artist in Spotify history.
And now, he’s done something that’s never been done in the history of the Billboard Country Airplay chart: Earn three spots inside the top 10.
For this week’s chart, “Thought You Should Know” holds the #7 spot, “Last Night” is at #8 and “One Thing At a Time” is right below it at #9.
It’s the first time an artist has had three songs in the top 10 of the chart since it launched in January of 1990.
Looks like Morgan’s dominant run isn’t slowing down any tiem
Morgan Wallen Takes Nasty Fall On Stage While Performing “Heartless,” Laughs It Off And Jumps Right Back Up
That looked like it hurt.
Morgan Wallen is currently out on the road for his sold-out One Thing At A Time world tour, and at a show in Louisville, Kentucky at the KFC Yum! Center Thursday night, he took a pretty nasty fall.
TikTok user @natalyajaye_ shared an up-close video of him singing “Heartless” with tons of fog covering the stage, and as he walks closer towards crowd, trips on what looks like the fog machines or part of the stage lighting, and you can even hear him hit the floor as he falls:
@natalyajaye_ poor morgy fell into his own cloud of dust 😭🫶🏼 @couture.finessin #morganwallen #louisvilleky ♬ original sound – natalyajaye_
You also see Morgan jump right back up and laugh at off as he continues singing, hardly missing a beat in the process, and it looks like he wasn’t hurt at all (maybe slightly embarrassed, but I think that’s allowed when 22,000 people watch you take a tumble like that).
Here’s another angle further back:
@brooke_worth Morgan Wallen. The best in the business. #morganwallenfall #morganwallenfell #morganwallenconcert #morganwallen #fypmorganwallen #morganwallenyumcenter #kfcyumcenter ♬ original sound – Brooke Worth
I mean, when you’re performing on stage night after night like that, a fall is bound to happen eventually, and he’s certainly not the first artist to ever bust it on stage in front of a crowd, either.
All’s well that ends well, I guess, as the old saying goes…
And of course, “Heartless” is Morgan’s collab with EDM/pop producer Diplo, which was featured on Diplo’s first “country project” and album Diplo Presents Thomas Wesley, Chapter 1: Snake Oil.
