Morgan Wallen Achieves Fifth No. 1 This Year

Morgan Wallen has set a new record by achieving his 15th number one on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart with the song 'Lies Lies Lies,' which marks his fifth number one in 2024. This accomplishment makes Wallen the first artist to earn five number ones in a single year since the chart's inception in 1990, tying him with Garth Brooks and Luke Combs for the most number ones in a year. His previous chart-toppers this year include 'Cowgirls,' 'I Had Some Help,' 'Man Made a Bar,' and 'Mamaw’s House.' In related news, Dolly Parton released her new album 'Smoky Mountain DNA' on the same day her brother passed away at age 82, and Sundance Head is recovering after being shot at his ranch. Tim McGraw also made headlines by tying the record for most Country Airplay top 10s with his song 'One Bad Habit.' Overall, the country music scene is marked by both significant achievements and personal losses.
