Morgan Wallen's album 'One Thing at a Time' continues to make waves in the music industry, as it secures the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart for the nineteenth nonconsecutive week. This achievement places Wallen in an exclusive club of artists who have managed to dominate the charts for an extended period.
According to Billboard, 'One Thing at a Time' is only the twelfth album to spend 19 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. This feat has not been accomplished by a new release in over a decade, with the last album to achieve this milestone being Adele's '21' between 2011 and 2012.
While Wallen's album has had an impressive run at the top, it still falls short of the record for the most weeks spent at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, which is held by the West Side Story soundtrack with 54 weeks. The list of albums that have spent at least 20 weeks at No. 1 includes iconic releases such as Michael Jackson's 'Thriller,' Fleetwood Mac's 'Rumours,' and Adele's '21.'
As Wallen's 'One Thing at a Time' approaches its twentieth week on the chart, it faces stiff competition from Ariana Grande's new album 'Eternal Sunshine,' which is expected to debut at No. 1 next week. Despite this, Wallen's album has already marked a significant milestone by spending 53 weeks on the Billboard 200, showcasing its enduring popularity.
It remains to be seen whether 'One Thing at a Time' will secure a twentieth week at No. 1, but its continued success underscores Wallen's status as a powerhouse in the country music scene. With its impressive chart performance and critical acclaim, the album cements Wallen's position among the music industry's elite.
