Morgan Wallen Extends ARIA Reign With ‘I’m the Problem’

Morgan Wallen’s I’m The Problem continues its reign atop the ARIA Albums Chart, holding steady at No. 1 for a third consecutive week.

With this run, the album becomes the longest-running No. 1 by a country artist in Australia in nearly a decade, since Lee Kernaghan’s Spirit of the Anzacs spent four weeks at the summit in 2015. The all-time country record remains Shania Twain’s Come On Over, which dominated for 20 non-consecutive weeks in 1999.

Wallen is also making waves on the ARIA Singles Chart, landing at No. 14 this week with “What I Want,” featuring Tate McRae.

Speaking of McRae, the Canadian pop star debuts at No. 5 with “Just Keep Watching,” her contribution to the Brad Pitt-led F1 soundtrack. The track, co-written by Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic, becomes her 11th top 20 hit on the ARIA chart. Her highest-charting single to date, “Greedy,” peaked at No. 2 in 2023.

Meanwhile, Taylor Swift’s Reputation rockets from No. 34 to No. 2 this week following the news that she has secured the master rights to her first six albums. Four of those — Fearless (Taylor’s Version), Red (Taylor’s Version), Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) and 1989 (Taylor’s Version) — have been re-recorded and released. The exceptions are Reputation and her 2006 self-titled debut. In recent interviews, Swift has confirmed that she has completed “less than a quarter” of Reputation (Taylor’s Version). The original album previously spent two weeks at No. 1 in 2017.

Miley Cyrus also enters the albums chart this week, with Something Beautiful debuting at No. 4. It’s her ninth studio album and eighth to chart inside the top 20 in Australia. Three of her albums have gone all the way to No. 1 — Breakout (2008), Bangerz (2013), and Endless Summer Vacation (2023). As Hannah Montana, she also charted three top 20 albums.

On the Aussie front, beloved indie rockers Cloud Control re-enter the ARIA Albums Chart at No. 19 with their 2010 debut Bliss Release, following their surprise reunion after a seven-year hiatus. The album originally peaked at No. 20 and earned the band critical acclaim and a devoted local following. Their highest-charting release remains Dream Cave, which reached No. 9 in 2013.

Finally, Alex Warren’s “Ordinary” holds at No. 1 on the ARIA Singles Chart for an 11th straight week. The streak ties it with seven other long-running chart-toppers in Australian history, including Wings’ “Mull of Kintyre,” Bryan Adams’ “(Everything I Do) I Do It For You,” Spice Girls’ “Wannabe,” Drake’s “God’s Plan,” The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights,” 24kGoldn and Iann Dior’s “Mood,” and Glass Animals’ “Heat Waves.”
