Morgan Wallen's 'I Got Better' Climbs the Charts: Will It Dethrone 'What I Want'?

Morgan Wallen's 'I Got Better' Climbs the Charts: Will It Dethrone 'What I Want'?

Morgan Wallen's collaboration with Tate McRae, "What I Want," has been dominating Billboard's country charts since its release. The duet debuted at No. 1 on both the Hot Country Songs and Country Streaming Songs charts and has held onto the top spot for sixteen consecutive weeks. While this may seem like a great achievement for most artists, it could be a hindrance for Wallen at this point.

Despite the success of "What I Want," Wallen is blocking himself from achieving new No. 1s on both the Hot Country Songs and Country Streaming Songs charts this week. His new single, "I Got Better," has climbed to the runner-up spot on both tallies, just missing out on the top position. If "I Got Better" can replace "What I Want," Wallen may soon earn his twelfth No. 1 on the Hot Country Songs chart and his nineteenth on the Country Streaming Songs chart.

"I Got Better" has also made significant progress on the all-style Radio Songs list, reaching No. 25, a new high point for the track. It is currently in ninth place on the Country Airplay ranking, showing steady growth and potential for further success. The song is the sixth official single from Wallen's album "I'm the Problem," which he began promoting a year ago with the release of "Lies Lies Lies" in July 2024.

Wallen has a successful track record with over 40 top 10 hits on both the Hot Country Songs and Country Streaming Songs charts throughout his career. His album "I'm the Problem" has produced multiple top 10 hits on the Hot 100, including "Love Somebody," "Just In Case," and the title track. With his consistent chart performance and loyal fan base, Wallen continues to be a dominant force in the country music industry.
