Morgan Wallen has a very big #1 bow on our Top 50 chart with his 30-track Big Loud/Republic set, Dangerous: The Double Album, which instantly becomes the top-streaming country album in history by a wide margin.
Republic owns the Top 3 and half of the Top 10.
Morgan's opening frame is a boffo 261k+. His 228m first-week streams, meanwhile, are more than double those of the next-biggest country release—and equal to the combined total of the other Top 5 country streamers.
Morgan's labelmates Taylor Swift and Pop Smoke (Victor Victor) continue their brilliant runs at #2 and #3, respectively. Alamo/Geffen/Interscope's Lil Durk and the week's next-biggest debut after Wallen, RCA's Jazmine Sullivan, round out the Top 5. XO/Republic's The Weeknd lands at #6, jumping 10 spots from last week's chart to become this week's greatest gainer.

In other news, there's considerable chatter on the socials about "Marshall Law," which is either misspelled right-wing propaganda or an exciting new Dick Wolf procedural starring Eminem.
