Morgan Wallen’s ‘Last Night’ Is No. 1 on Hot Country Songs – Billboard

Directly below “Last Night” on Hot Country Songs are Wallen’s former No. 1s “Thought You Should Know” (5-2) and “You Proof” (4-3).

“Thought” garnered 14 million clicks (up 31%) and sold 4,000 (up 2%) in the latest tracking frame; it debuted atop the list last May. On Country Airplay, “Thought,” which is Wallen’s current single being promoted to country radio, lifts 3-2 for a new best (32.2 million, up 16%).

“You Proof” drew 25.1 million in all-format airplay, 13.8 million streams (up 8%) and 2,000 sold (up 11%). It ruled Hot Country Songs for 19 frames starting last May and crowned Country Airplay for a record 10 weeks beginning in October.

“Last Night” becomes Wallen’s seventh Hot Country Songs leader and the fourth No. 1 from his 36-track LP One Thing at a Time, due March 3. The set’s first leader, “Don’t Think Jesus,” dominated for a week in April 2022.

Wallen is the first artist to score as many as four Hot Country Songs leaders from one album since Brad Paisley rattled off five from his aptly titled 5th Gear in 2007-08: “Ticks,” “Online,” “Letter to Me,” “I’m Still a Guy” and “Waitin’ on a Woman.” (The chart was then fueled solely by radio airplay before it transitioned to its current multi-metric methodology in October 2012.)

Also on Hot Country Songs, Wallen’s“I Wrote the Book,” likewise released Jan. 31 as a preview track from One Thing at a Time, bounds 16-10, awarding the singer-songwriter his 19th career top 10. It marks the eighth song to hit the tier from the new album:

“Don’t Think Jesus” (No. 1, one week)

“Thought You Should Know” (No. 1, one week)

“You Proof” (No. 1, 19 weeks)

“One Thing at a Time” (No. 2)

“Tennessee Fan” (No. 5)

“Days That End in Why” (No. 7)

“Last Night” (No. 1, one week to-date)
