Morgan Wallen is no stranger to long albums that feature dozens of tracks, and he’ll take things to a whole new level with his next record. The country superstar shared the tracklist of his next LP I’m the Problem, which will feature a total of 37 songs, including some buzzy collaborations.

I’m the Problem will be released via Big Loud, Republic, and Mercury Records on May 16, and Wallen set the stage for this album with several singles. “Lies Lies Lies” was released as the lead single last summer, and it was followed by “Love Somebody”, “Smile”, “I’m the Problem”, and “Just in Case”.

“I Ain’t Comin’ Back” ft. Post Malone  will be released as the album’s next single this Friday. The duo previously collaborated on “I Had Some Help” from Malone’s album F-1 Trillion, which spent six weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Post Malone won’t be the only major artist featured on Wallen’s new album. Collaborations with Tate McRae, Eric Church, Hardy, and Ernest are also among 37 songs featured on its tracklist.

I’m the Problem marks the long-awaited follow-up to Wallen’s hit album One Thing at a Time, which spent 19 weeks atop the Billboard 200 chart, setting the record for the longest-running number-one country album in history.

The iHeartRadio Music Awards returned to Los Angeles on Monday night to honor our favorite songs, albums, and artists of the past year. Taylor Swift dominated the ceremony, winning a total of nine awards, including the honorary tour of the century award for her historic The Eras Tour.

Swift defeated tough competition to win the award for the artist of the year, in addition to coming out victorious in eight more categories. The Tortured Poets Department was named the best pop album of the year, while “Fortnight” ft. Post Malone won awards for best lyrics and music video.

Swift wasn’t in attendance at the ceremony, but she tuned in via video to accept the award for tour of the century for her record-breaking The Eras Tour. She described it as the most gratifying thing she’s ever done and thanked the fans for making it happen.

“The only reason I was able to take on those challenges, among others, the ambition of the production, the length of the show, the amount of shows in all the different countries we played in, that’s all because of the fans. You had the passion and the generosity to care about traveling to see us on tour in all these places all over the world,” said Swift.

Beyoncé’s latest performance took place in her hometown of Houston, Texas, and her tracklist mostly consisted of songs from her latest album Cowboy Carter. The country-themed show saw her performing some of the tracks from this record for the first time, including “Ya Ya”, “My House”, and her version of Dolly Parton’s “Jolene”.

Surprise Guests

Beyoncé didn’t have to do it all alone, and she brought many of her Cowboy Carter collaborators along for the ride. Tanner Adell, Brittney Spencer, Tiera Kennedy, and Reyna Roberts joined her for the cover of “Blackbiird”, before Post Malone and Shaboozey hit the stage.

“Texas Hold ‘Em” Grand Finale

Queen B wrapped up her performance with an epic rendition of “Texas Hold ‘Em”, which also featured elements of “Pony Up” and “Break My Soul”. Her daughter Blue Ivy Carter was one of dozens of dancers joining her for the line dance during this song.

Mystery Announcement

Beyoncé also shared a surprise Christmas present with her fans at the end of her performance, revealing there’s a mystery announcement coming our way on January 14, 2025.

Shaboozey became an overnight sensation thanks to his smash hit “A Bar Song (Tipsy)”, and its chart domination is far from over. His breakout song returned atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart for its 17th week, becoming the longest-running No. 1 hit by a solo artist.

“A Bar Song (Tipsy)” totaled 70.7 million radio airplay audience impressions, 21.2 million official streams, and 5,000 copies sold during its latest week on the chart, easily snagging the No. 1 spot. Even before this week came around, Shaboozey had the longest-running number-one song of the year, and he’s not done breaking records.

With 17 weeks spent atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart, “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” is the longest-running No. 1 single by a solo artist, surpassing Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night”. The all-time record is still held by Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” ft. Billy Ray Cyrus, which spent 19 weeks at No. 1 in 2019.

“A Bar Song (Tipsy)” was released as a single from Shaboozey’s latest studio album Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going, and it helped him break into the mainstream. He received five nominations at this year’s Grammy Awards, including best new artist, plus song of the year, best country song, and best country solo performance with his breakout hit.

I’m the Problem will be released via Big Loud, Republic, and Mercury Records on May 16, and Wallen set the stage for this album with several singles. “Lies Lies Lies” was released as the lead single last summer, and it was followed by “Love Somebody”, “Smile”, “I’m the Problem”, and “Just in Case”.

The iHeartRadio Music Awards returned to Los Angeles on Monday night to honor our favorite songs, albums, and artists of the past year. Taylor Swift dominated the ceremony, winning a total of nine awards, including the honorary tour of the century award for her historic The Eras Tour.

Swift defeated tough competition to win the award for the artist of the year, in addition to coming out victorious in eight more categories. The Tortured Poets Department was named the best pop album of the year, while “Fortnight” ft. Post Malone won awards for best lyrics and music video.

Swift wasn’t in attendance at the ceremony, but she tuned in via video to accept the award for tour of the century for her record-breaking The Eras Tour. She described it as the most gratifying thing she’s ever done and thanked the fans for making it happen.

“The only reason I was able to take on those challenges, among others, the ambition of the production, the length of the show, the amount of shows in all the different countries we played in, that’s all because of the fans. You had the passion and the generosity to care about traveling to see us on tour in all these places all over the world,” said Swift.

We can count on Beyoncé to rock our world every time she hits the stage, and she took things to the next level during the NFL 2024 Christmas Day Halftime Show. Her performance immediately broke the internet and gave us countless memorable moments, and here are a few that got everyone talking.

Cowboy Carter Celebration

Beyoncé’s latest performance took place in her hometown of Houston, Texas, and her tracklist mostly consisted of songs from her latest album Cowboy Carter. The country-themed show saw her performing some of the tracks from this record for the first time, including “Ya Ya”, “My House”, and her version of Dolly Parton’s “Jolene”.

Surprise Guests

Beyoncé didn’t have to do it all alone, and she brought many of her Cowboy Carter collaborators along for the ride. Tanner Adell, Brittney Spencer, Tiera Kennedy, and Reyna Roberts joined her for the cover of “Blackbiird”, before Post Malone and Shaboozey hit the stage.

“Texas Hold ‘Em” Grand Finale

Queen B wrapped up her performance with an epic rendition of “Texas Hold ‘Em”, which also featured elements of “Pony Up” and “Break My Soul”. Her daughter Blue Ivy Carter was one of dozens of dancers joining her for the line dance during this song.

Mystery Announcement

Beyoncé also shared a surprise Christmas present with her fans at the end of her performance, revealing there’s a mystery announcement coming our way on January 14, 2025.

Shaboozey became an overnight sensation thanks to his smash hit “A Bar Song (Tipsy)”, and its chart domination is far from over. His breakout song returned atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart for its 17th week, becoming the longest-running No. 1 hit by a solo artist.

“A Bar Song (Tipsy)” totaled 70.7 million radio airplay audience impressions, 21.2 million official streams, and 5,000 copies sold during its latest week on the chart, easily snagging the No. 1 spot. Even before this week came around, Shaboozey had the longest-running number-one song of the year, and he’s not done breaking records.

With 17 weeks spent atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart, “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” is the longest-running No. 1 single by a solo artist, surpassing Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night”. The all-time record is still held by Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” ft. Billy Ray Cyrus, which spent 19 weeks at No. 1 in 2019.

“A Bar Song (Tipsy)” was released as a single from Shaboozey’s latest studio album Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going, and it helped him break into the mainstream. He received five nominations at this year’s Grammy Awards, including best new artist, plus song of the year, best country song, and best country solo performance with his breakout hit.
