The landscape of modern music shifted significantly this week as Morgan Wallen officially secured his spot as the highest RIAA certified Country artist in history. With a staggering total of 265.5 million certified units, Wallen now trails only Drake and Taylor Swift for solo titles across all genres. This monumental achievement arrives just seven years after his first Gold certifications, proving that his connection with listeners has created a trajectory unlike anything the industry has seen in decades.
Wallen continues to dominate the charts with his fourth studio album ‘I’m The Problem’ which has already earned a 4x Platinum certification within months of its release. The massive 37 song cycle resonated instantly with audiences, becoming the top album worldwide on Apple Music for 2025. Every track on his previous powerhouse records ‘If I Know Me’ and ‘Dangerous: The Double Album’ has also reached RIAA certification status, cementing his reputation for creating deep collections of music that fans consume from start to finish.
The individual accolades are just as impressive, featuring five singles that have reached Diamond status or higher. Fan favorites like “Last Night” and “Wasted On You” sit at an incredible 12x Platinum, while the 2019 collaboration with Diplo titled “Heartless” just joined the Diamond club. These numbers reflect more than just sales as they represent a sustained cultural impact that bypasses traditional genre boundaries and places Wallen at the very pinnacle of global streaming success.
Looking toward the future, the 2026 Still The Problem Tour is set to bring this massive catalog to life in stadium settings across North America. The tour features an elite rotating lineup of guests including Brooks & Dunn and HARDY, with stops at legendary venues like Michigan Stadium and Saban Field at Bryant-Denny Stadium. As his success grows, Wallen continues to prioritize his community by donating a portion of every ticket to the Morgan Wallen Foundation to fund vital music and sports programs for local youth.
