Fans of Wallen have taken to Reddit to celebrate his achievement, labeling him the “GOAT” (Greatest Of All Time).
“He’s the hottest artist right now. And he’s got everything lined up for it to stay that way for a long time,” one fan expressed admiration for Wallen’s career trajectory. “Good taylor hasn’t been good since she was country in my opinion I don’t get the hype at all. All her songs sound like a whin-y spoken word poem,” another commenter said. (RELATED: Morgan Wallen’s Mother Blasts The City Of Nashville For Refusing To Support His Restaurant)

This latest accomplishment comes on the heels of another record-breaking moment for Wallen. His album “One Thing At A Time” debuted with 36 tracks claiming 30 spots on the Streaming Songs chart, a record previously held by Swift, according to Daily Wire. Swift had reclaimed the title in April with her album “The Tortured Poets Department,” which placed 31 songs on the streaming chart.
Wallen’s record-breaking news arrives amidst headlines about his recent arrest for reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct. The country star was detained for throwing a chair off the roof of Chief’s bar in downtown Nashville on April 7, Daily Wire reported. Despite the controversy, Wallen’s musical achievements continue to resonate with fans and solidify his standing in the music industry.
