Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem returns to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart for a 14th nonconsecutive week on top, as the album steps 3-1 on the list dated Aug. 8. The album — which debuted more than a year ago and has never left the top 10 — earned 80,000 equivalent album units in the United States in the tracking week ending July 30 (up 7%), according to Luminate.
Wallen is likely benefiting from publicity and promotion around a newly released song — which is not on the album — titled “Been by Now.” The track arrived on July 24, the first day of the new chart’s tracking week. (Since the song is not on any of Wallen’s albums, and is a stand-alone track, it does not contribute any chart activity to an album.) Wallen performed the cut for the first time live on July 18 at the Baltimore stop of his Still the Problem Tour. The stadium trek, which launched in April, wrapped on Aug. 1 in Philadelphia.
It’s been nearly seven months since I’m the Problem was last No. 1, on the Jan. 17-dated chart, for its 13th No. 1 frame. Before that, it tallied 12 nonconsecutive weeks from its No. 1 debut on May 31, 2025, through Aug. 30.
