He is an absolute nobody in the UK and most of the world, and it will remain that way. His last album didn't even chart in most countries, we don't use that redneck.

Congrats to the racist I guess. 

"absolute nobody in the UK" yet he had a sold out UK tour and plenty of his songs debut in the UK spotify top 50? plus, he has a #2 hit there lol

 

as far as country acts go, he is actually quite big in the uk

His last album didn't even make the top 30 and IHSH only peaked that high because of Post Malone  

 

And not you using Hyde Park as an example of actual demand, I have to laugh.   He could never sellout stadiums in the UK. 

 

All of the singles from his new album TANKED here: 

 

#58 Lies Lies Lies

#40 Love Somebody 

#52 Smile

#44 I'm The Problem

 

I don't have anything to cry about because he's so irrelevant in most of the world and easy to avoid  The only time i ever hear about this racist is on here.

 

At most he can score a cute gold album like Garth did back in the day or a top 10 album like Carrie but country music is just not big here and never will be, Dolly and Shania are the only exceptions. 

i love the moving goal posts as if selling out a paid concert in hyde park isn't a huge feat and something that is done mostly by A-listers lol

 

not that it matters at the end of the day, the UK market represents like 5% of the profits a huge act can get in the US but why deny reality that he does have a major fanbase in the UK all things considered? lol

gay people fuming from their european village as if an american country artist cares about their consumption 

the funny thing is.... he does not give a **** about Europe, never promoted there and yet, he does get really decent numbers there? Like the random Brit being like "lol Hyde Park who cares?" and yet only A-listers headline Hyde Park concerts and its stadium-size capacity? and he's doing that with basically no effort.

This is incorrect. Remixes do count. For example, Billboard still counts the sale of digital albums with special acoustic tracks or what not to the parent album. Claiming TTPD:Anthology only had 31 tracks is disingenuous.

 

Likewise, Morgan's albums end up getting extra Target tracks and acoustic versions and what-not to boost sales numbers.

Bilboard counts TTPD as a 31 tracks album. No need for mental gymnastics 

[Taylor fanboy]

When he goes pop or AC ballad. It's so over.

This is why international stans need to stop paying so much attention to US charts. This dude is completely irrelevant for most people outside the US. Let's support the global charts instead

Do it. Global charts are posted here weekly

I hate to say it but his album bomb from this will be the only way to force a lot of these superrecurrent songs out (Lose Control, Beautiful Things, etc).

Yeah, I don't think 99.99% of Brazilians have ever heard of him and that would include myself if I didn't hear about him through ATRL

Fortnight went #1 and Levi's Jeans was never released.  

 

Until Morgan has a SOLO hit here then the reason was clearly Post. I won't be wasting any more time discussing this racist with you. 

Please. He has NUMEROUS solo hits from the past 3 years alone  his debut is officially the biggest album of the 21st century surpassing 21, fearless, 1989

Need this racist ******* ***** to disappear

Why are y'all arguing over this YT Man!? 
 

I don't even like him but y'all keep on bringing up the same thing when it's very obvious the tasteless a** GP doesn't care. I'm lowkey impressed that he's able to sell like this. Like not even the biggest names in Country or Pop are doing it like this. Only Taylor and Beyoncé. 
 

Still sucks that his music is BAD, LMAOOO!!! Like how are you gonna be racist and have sh*t music at the same time??? 

Yeah, he's my least favorite Country star musically in some time, this is what we get after mistreating Sam Hunt I guess. Hopefully Zach Bryan links up with a megaproducer to give us the Country Pop bops of a lifetime to put us (me) out of my misery, cause I'm tired of Morgan clogging my date nights via how much they play his music in restaurants in the NJ-NY-PA area

I remember seeing one of the dumbest posts ever in the rod wave thread 

 This site talking global reach on us based charts always triggers me lowkey

Same. A lot of Pop acts don't even have nationwide reach (streaming era side effect), this site does that with artists like Rod Wave not realizing there's a large portion of the country that also doesn't care about their Pop girls. They seem to think everyone here listens to Pop girls but only niches listen to Rappers and Country acts.

listen to whatever you want.

I listen to any kind of music and sometimes even some of his songs, even though I don't really like it when he sings live

A simple google check will tell you that he just completed a sold out 87-show stadium tour with 3.1 million attendees in 10 countries. He broke attendance records for multiple stadium venues and it's the highest grossing country music tour of all time.

[uusagii]

They should make a separate ATRL for Europeans

I know BB quoted him in his interview saying he refused to do any "official" Last Night remixes that could've helped spread its reach & extend its range. So he's reluctant to lose his Country audience. LN reached 15 AC, whereas LC is 22 so far. LC is more format friendly but isn't the consumption mammoth LN was. But Country stars grow after getting their foot in the door. Fast Car was very unusual given it was an 80s classic remake & AC stations play a ton of 80s already.

Chile... I didn't know there were Morgan Wallen stans in ATRL of all places...  

 

Let me just leave at this point... 

God you're so…

Notice how everybody on this site hates him and yet are still disagreeing with you 

Whether you like it or not he's the biggest artist out there, YOUR opinion on music does NOT matter. 

[UseYourIllusion2002]

The album charting at #5 on US Apple Music with only 6/37 songs released, and two months before its official release  It's over. 

[OnlyManInTheWorld]

It's a massive L for ATRL
