Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem is back at the top of the Billboard 200, rebounding from last week’s No. 2 position. On the chart dated January 17, 2026, the country star’s fourth studio album earned 83,000 album-equivalent units in the United States, pushing Taylor Swift’s long-running chart-topper The Life of a Showgirl into second place with 72,000 units.

 

Released on May 16, 2025, I’m the Problem has now spent thirteen non-consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 since debuting at the summit on May 31, 2025. The album last occupied the top spot four months ago, and its return further cements Wallen’s status as one of country music’s most commercially dominant and bankable stars.

Overall, the RIAA quadruple-platinum album has delivered two No. 1 singles and six top ten hits, an impressive showing for a 37-track project that continues to perform strongly nearly a year after its release.
