Morgan Wallen Breaks Swiftie Record, Sparks Uproar

Morgan Wallen’s new album “I’m the Problem” isn’t due out until May 16th, but it’s already upsetting Swifties everywhere.

First, he named his album a popular lyric from Taylor Swift’s song “Anti-Hero” . . . and now he’s taking records away from her, too.

Morgan’s new song “Just in Case” came in at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100.  This breaks the record for the most top 10s on the Hot 100 from an album prior to its release.

Here are the other songs that helped Morgan break the record:  “I’m the Problem” peaked at #2 . . . “Smile” peaked at #4 . . . “Love Somebody” got to #1 . . . and “Lies, Lies, Lies” peaked at #7.

(Taylor’s album “Red” from 2012 had four top 10s prior to its release . . . and Post Malone’s 2019 album “Hollywood’s Bleeding” also had four.)

This is Morgan’s 14th top 10 on the Hot 100 in his lifetime . . . so he has a little way to catch Taylor in that department.  She has 59.
