Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem nets a 10th nonconsecutive week atop the Billboard 200 chart (dated Aug. 16). The set earned 136,000 equivalent album units in the United States in the week ending Aug. 7 (down 5%), according to Luminate. I’m the Problem debuted at No. 1 on the May 31-dated chart, spent it first eight weeks in the pole position, stepped away from the top for two frames, and then returned to No. 1 for the last two consecutive weeks.
Also in the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200, Reneé Rapp and $uicideBoy$ score their highest-charting albums ever, while Yeat collects his sixth top 10-charted set.
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 Aug. 16, 2025-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Aug. 12.

Of I’m the Problem’s 136,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending Aug. 7, SEA units comprise 131,000 (up 2%, equaling 172.27 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs — it leads Top Streaming Albums for an 11th nonconsecutive week), album sales comprise 4,000 (down 5% — it rises 16-13 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise 1,000 (down 26%).
Cumulatively, Wallen’s three No. 1 albums (I’m the Problem, One Thing at a Time and Dangerous: The Double Album) have spent a total of 39 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. That ties him with Elton John for the fourth-most weeks at No. 1 among male artists in the chart’s history, which dates to March 1956, when the chart began publishing on a regular weekly basis. Among male artists, the leaders are: Elvis Presley (67 weeks), Garth Brooks (52), Michael Jackson (51), John and Wallen (39 each), Harry Belafonte and Drake (37 each). Among all artists, The Beatles have the most weeks at No. 1, with 132 across 19 No. 1 albums.
I’m the Problem has now spent 10 weeks at No. 1, One Thing at a Time ruled for 19 nonconsecutive weeks in 2023-34 and Dangerous: The Double Album was tops for 10 straight weeks in 2021.
In total, only six acts, including Wallen, have at least three albums that have spent at least 10 weeks at No. 1.
