Here Are the Albums With the Most No. 1s on Billboard Airplay Charts
Morgan Wallen has set a new record on Billboard's Country Airplay chart, with his song "Don't We" becoming the seventh No. 1 single from his 2025 album *I'm the Problem*. This makes it the first album ever to produce that many chart-toppers using only its original tracklist, without relying on a deluxe reissue, and cements Wallen as a dominant force in country radio.
The achievement places *I'm the Problem* among just five albums since 2010 to generate six or more No. 1s on a single Billboard airplay chart, with Wallen the only artist to have done it twice — his 2023 album *One Thing at a Time* also produced six Country Airplay No. 1s. The other albums on this exclusive list are Luke Combs' *What You See Is What You Get* (seven Country Airplay No. 1s, including two from a deluxe edition), Luke Bryan's *Kill the Lights* (six) and Katy Perry's *Teenage Dream* (seven Pop Airplay No. 1s). Radio programmers credit Wallen's consistent, broadly appealing songwriting for the run of hits, noting his tracks avoid the usual drop-off in listener demand between singles.
In short
- Morgan Wallen's "Don't We" becomes his album's seventh Country Airplay No. 1.
- *I'm the Problem* is the first album with 7 No. 1s from originals only.
- Only five albums since 2010 have hit six-plus airplay No. 1s.
Explained simply
Billboard publishes charts tracking which songs receive the most radio airplay in America. Radio airplay remains important to commercial success because it introduces songs to millions of listeners and influences streaming and sales trends. A number one position on these charts represents significant commercial achievement.
Releasing multiple number one singles from a single album is unusual in modern music. Individual songs typically see declining radio interest over time as audiences move to newer releases, so most albums produce only a handful of chart successes. An album generating numerous number ones from its original tracks suggests unusually sustained fan interest and broad appeal among radio audiences.
Country music has become increasingly prominent on American radio in recent years. Artists in this genre have achieved substantial commercial success, making the country airplay charts among the most competitive areas of the music industry.
