Four months after sharing his latest studio album with the world, Morgan Wallen is still ruling the Billboard 200 chart. One Thing at a Time became the longest-running album with over 100,000 weekly equivalent album units sold after 17 weeks on the summit.

One Thing returned to No. 1 for the 15th week, with 110,500 equivalent album units sold. Wallen stopped several high-profile artists from reaching No. 1 since the release of this album, and Young Thug’s Business Is Business, Peso Pluma’s Génesis, and Kelly Clarkson’s Chemistry are among the most notable new releases charting behind him this week.

To make things even more impressive, One Thing moved 100,000 equivalent album units in all 17 of its chart weeks. This is the most weeks any album has exceeded 100,000 units since the launch of Billboard 200, breaking the record previously held by Bad Bunny’s Un Verano Sin Ti.

One Thing at a Time hit the shelves on March 3, and debuted atop the Billboard 200 with 501,000 album-equivalent units, scoring the biggest week for a country album since Taylor Swift’s Red (Taylor’s Version). Its single “Last Night” found equally impressive success on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and spent 13 weeks at No. 1.
