It isn’t that much of a surprise that Morgan Wallen’s album is doing so well.
Morgan Wallen released his album, Dangerous, last year. The singer is now getting ready for his Dangerous Tour.
The album finished out the year at number one and streams across all genres among Billboard charts. It even passed newcomer, Olivia Rodrigo’s Sour album. Now that’s saying something. It looks like the country star also joined the ranks of Garth Brooks, Billy Ray Cyrus, and Taylor Swift as a country music artist who spends more than 10 weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100. Impressive!
Wallen “Dangerous” in January 2021 to incredible success. The record has 15 songs on each installment of the album. The record contains hits such as “865,” “Wasted on You,” “Still Going Down,” and “Sand in My Boots.”
According to Deadline’s year-end report on Billboard, Wallen’s Dangerous: The Double Album is listed as the no. 1 country album of the year. It is also the most popular album across all genres earning 3.2 million equal album units over the year.
Morgan Wallen’s website announced that tickets went on sale and quickly sold out for several dates:

Over 36K tickets were sold in less than 90 minutes for the December 3, 4, and 5 dates. He followed it up with another landmark performance at The Grounds in Mobile, AL, this past Friday 11/12, hosting a staggering 31K.”
