Renan90 Posted March 12, 2023 Posted March 12, 2023 (edited) Morgan Wallen’s ‘One Thing at a Time’ Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard 200 With a Half-Million Units It's his second No. 1, and the follow-up to the blockbuster 10-week leader 'Dangerous: The Double Album.' Morgan Wallen’s One Thing at a Time debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart (dated March 18) with 501,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States in the week ending March 9, according to Luminate. It’s the largest week of 2023 for any album by units earned, the biggest since Taylor Swift’s Midnights debut with 1.578 million (week ending Oct. 27, 2022; chart dated Nov. 5, 2022) and the largest week for a country album since Swift’s Red (Taylor’s Version) opened with 604,500 (week ending Nov. 18, 2021; chart dated Nov. 27, 2021). A hefty 76% of One Thing at a Time’s debut-week total was powered by streaming activity. The set’s 36 tracks collectively generated 498.28 million on-demand official streams in the U.S. in the album’s first week – marking the fifth-largest streaming week ever for any album, and the biggest ever for a country album. One Thing at a Time was released March 3 via Big Loud/Mercury/Republic Records and is the follow-up to Wallen’s chart-topping effort Dangerous: The Double Album, released in January 2021. The latter spent 10 weeks atop the Billboard 200 chart and ranks at No. 6 on the latest list — its 110th nonconsecutive week in the top 10. It now solely has the second-most weeks in the top 10 in the list’s 67-year history, surpassing 109 weeks for the soundtrack to The Sound of Music. (The original cast recording of My Fair Lady holds the record for the most weeks in the top 10, with 173.) One Thing at a Time was preceded by the release of nine songs from the album as far back as April of 2022. Four of those tunes topped Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart: “Don’t Think Jesus,” “Thought You Should Know,” “You Proof” and “Last Night,” the lattermost of which has reigned for four weeks running (through the most recently published March 11-dated ranking). The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new March 18, 2023-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on March 14.

Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night” leaps from No. 5 to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the country star’s first leader on the list. The song, which hit its prior No. 3 high four weeks ago, and debuted five weeks ago, is from his new 36-track album, One Thing at a Time. Released March 3, the set launches as Wallen’s second No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, with the largest streaming week ever for a country album, as well as the biggest week by equivalent album units for any album, among all genres, in 2023. Wallen also claims five of the Hot 100’s top 10 – becoming the first core country act to stake out half the top 10 in a single week, as well as only the sixth act overall ever to achieve the feat. All five songs are from One Thing at a Time, including three in the region for the first time: “Thought You Should Know,” up 13-7; “Thinkin’ Bout Me,” new at No. 9; and the set’s title track, which charges 51-10. They join “Last Night” and “You Proof,” Wallen’s former top five hit which rebounds 21-8. The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data. All charts (dated March 18, 2023) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow (March 14).

Sinister Posted March 12, 2023 Posted March 12, 2023 Lol at Taylor Swift being all the last reference records
Holiest Dreams Posted March 12, 2023 Posted March 12, 2023 Midnights top 5 for 20 consecutive weeks
Green Posted March 12, 2023 Posted March 12, 2023 HDD predicted 490k and he did 501k HDD has been underestimating some numbers lately
Sscorpionn Posted March 12, 2023 Posted March 12, 2023 Not him actually crossing the 500k mark. Worst part is that there’s no major artist releasing soon so he’s easily going to reign for 15+ weeks
CottageHore Posted March 12, 2023 Posted March 12, 2023 I will never understand the hype for this talentless, uglee, racist white man

SimpleKindofLife Posted March 12, 2023 Posted March 12, 2023 Morgan had those Walmart CD buyers on lock
vale9001 Posted March 12, 2023 Posted March 12, 2023 I was expecting a lot more for him. Also his last album was #4 last week, this week #6. Decline started. We want to believe It
byzantium Posted March 12, 2023 Posted March 12, 2023 Does this feel low to anyone? His last album has 6m EAS units and is undoubtedly the biggest album of the 2020s. The fact that he didn't match Drake’s last studio album or a Taylor swift re-recording seems odd.
Ger Posted March 12, 2023 Posted March 12, 2023 Massive numbers for Morgan, the fact he did 500k+ is impressive af. Massive week for him overall, tomorrow should get his first #1 hit on Hot 100, too.

This is a very delusional post. There's nothing "low" or unimpressive about this album debut. How is 498M streams/111.5k pure sales (without vinyls)/501k SPS in any way unimpressive for anybody? Much less him? I don't understand some of the ridiculous expectations some of you on here have sometimes. Bringing up Taylor/Drake is also silly because those are two of the biggest acts in the US, with 15+ year careers/massive fan bases in their back pockets. Morgan just went on his first headlining tour last year. He didn't really make a splash in the mainstream music marketplace till 2021 with Dangerous. That was only 2 years ago. Him managing a 500k debut with his follow-up album is a huge achievement. That's the only way to look at it. And that's not even mentioning the splash the album is about to have on the Hot 100.
