Morgan Wallen is undeniably on fire as his album “I’m the Problem” continues its impressive streak at the top of the Billboard 200 albums chart for the sixth consecutive week. The album garnered 177,000 equivalent album units in the United States in the week ending June 26, marking a slight decrease from the previous week. Since debuting at No. 1 on May 31, Wallen’s album has firmly held onto the chart’s peak position without any signs of relinquishing its throne.
“I’m the Problem” notched the largest total for an album in its sixth week on the chart since Adele’s “25” achieved 363,000 units in its sixth week back in 2016. This impressive feat solidifies Wallen’s current dominance in the music industry and the unwavering support of his dedicated fanbase.
In a remarkable display of musical prowess, Wallen’s fellow artists also made significant waves on the latest Billboard 200 chart. Benson Boone secured his highest-charting album to date with the debut of “American Heart” at No. 2, earning 61,000 equivalent album units. Meanwhile, Karol G achieved her third top 10-charting album with the arrival of “Tropicoqueta” at No. 3, and the “KPop Demon Hunters” soundtrack made a noteworthy debut at No. 8, making it the first soundtrack of 2025 to crack the top 10.
The Billboard 200 ranking system is a reflection of the most popular albums of the week in the U.S., based on a combination of album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA), and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit is a representation of album sales, track sales, or streams, highlighting the diverse ways in which fans consume music in the digital age.
Wallen’s “I’m the Problem” continues to dominate the streaming landscape, with SEA units accounting for a significant portion of its total album units. On the other hand, Benson Boone’s “American Heart” made a strong entry into the chart, fueled by a balance of SEA, album sales, and TEA units.
Boone’s musical journey has been marked by notable achievements, including his previous hits “Sorry I’m Here for Someone Else” and “Mystical Magical” climbing the Billboard Hot 100 charts. The growing success of Boone’s music underscores his rising star power and resonates with audiences worldwide.
As artists like Karol G and the creators of the “KPop Demon Hunters” soundtrack also make their mark on the music scene, the diversity and creativity within the industry continue to thrive. The Billboard 200 serves as a barometer of musical excellence and innovation, highlighting the dynamic evolution of music across genres.
