Morgan Wallen’s ‘I’m the Problem’ Rules Billboard 200 for Fifth Straight Week

Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem rules the Billboard 200 albums chart for a fifth consecutive, and total, week, as the set holds atop the chart dated June 28. The album earned 186,000 equivalent album units in the United States in the tracking week ending June 19 (down 11%), according to Luminate. The album debuted at No. 1 on the chart dated May 31.

With 186,000 units earned, Problem lands the largest fifth week for an album since Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department earned 378,000 in its fifth week (June 1, 2024-dated chart).

Problem is also the first album to spend its first five weeks at No. 1 since Poets perched in the top slot for its first 12 weeks at No. 1 (in May-July of 2024), of its total 17 weeks at No. 1. Problem is the first album by a man to spend five weeks at No. 1 (in total, or, from its debut) since Wallen’s last album, One Thing at a Time, spent its first 12 weeks at No. 1 (in March-June of 2023), of its total 19 weeks at No. 1.

Also in the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200, ATEEZ notch their seventh top 10 with the No. 2 debut of GOLDEN HOUR : Part.3, Lil Tecca scores his highest charting album yet with the No. 3 launch of DOPAMINE, and Brandon Lake earns his first top 10 with the No. 7 bow of King of Hearts.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new June 28, 2025-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on June 25.

Of I’m the Problem’s 186,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending June 19, SEA units comprise 176,000 (down 11%, equaling 229.99 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs — it leads Top Streaming Albums for a fifth week), album sales comprise 9,000 (down 12% — it rises 9-7 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise 1,000 (down 6%).

ATEEZ achieve their seventh top 10 album on the Billboard 200, as GOLDEN HOUR : Part.3 debuts at No. 2 with 105,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, album sales comprise 101,500 (it debuts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 3,000 (equaling 4.07 million on-demand official streams of the set’s five songs) and TEA units comprise 500 units.

GOLDEN HOUR : Part.3 was available in its first week across 12 CD editions, all with the same audio but with packaging variations. Some editions were signed, and all contained collectible paper ephemera, some randomized.

At No. 3 on the Billboard 200, Lil Tecca scores his highest-charting album ever, and fifth top 10, as DOPAMINE debuts with 48,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, SEA units comprise 45,000 (equaling 65.31 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs — it debuts at No. 2 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 3,000 and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.

Lil Tecca had previously gone as high as No. 4 with We Love You Tecca in 2019.

DOPAMINE was issued as a standard 17-song album via streaming services, and was available to buy as a download, CD and in five deluxe CD boxed sets (each containing a branded T-shirt and a copy of the album on CD). All of the CD iterations were exclusively sold via the artist’s official webstore. In the midst of its first week, the album was reissued with four bonus tracks, and that iteration was exclusively sold as a download in his webstore.

DOPAMINE was preceded by two Billboard Hot 100-charting songs: “Dark Thoughts” (which hit No. 28 in April) and “Owa Owa” (No. 50 earlier this month). The former marked the second top 40-charting song for the rapper, and first since “Ran$om” hit No. 4 in 2019.

A trio of former No. 1s is next on the Billboard 200, as SZA’s SOS rises 5-4 (nearly 48,000 equivalent album units; up 9%), Wallen’s One Thing at a Time climbs 8-5 (40,000; up 3%), and Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet steps 7-6 (39,000; down 3%).

Brandon Lake notches his first top 10 album on the Billboard 200 — and first top 40-charting set — as his new project, King of Hearts, bows at No. 7 with 37,500 equivalent album units earned. He charted just one album previously, with the No. 135-peaking Coat of Many Colors in 2023. The new album boasts his first Hot 100 hit, “Hard Fought Hallelujah,” which reached No. 40 on the May 3, 2025, chart. The track has also logged 22 weeks atop the Hot Christian Songs chart, through the most recently published chart, dated June 21. Lake has placed a total of 43 entries on that chart since his debut on the list in 2019, including six No. 1s.

King of Hearts earned 37,500 units in its first week (Lake’s best week by units earned). Of that sum, album sales comprise 20,000 (his best sales week ever — it debuts at No. 3 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 16,500 (equaling 22.06 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs — it debuts at No. 30 on Top Streaming Albums) and TEA units comprise 1,000.

King of Hearts additionally logs the largest week, by units, for a Christian music-genre album in three-and-a-half years, since Ye’s Donda earned 38,000 units on the Oct. 16, 2021-dated chart. King of Hearts is the highest-charting Christian music album — and first top 10 — since for KING + COUNTRY’s What Are We Waiting For? debuted and peaked at No. 7 on the March 26, 2022-dated chart. (Christian music albums are defined as those that are eligible for, or have charted on, Billboard’s Top Christian Albums chart.)

King of Hearts was issued as a standard 16-song album (via streamers, as a widely available digital download album and on CD and vinyl). He also sold a signed CD via his webstore and Walmart carried a version of the album on CD with a bonus track. During the album’s first week, it was issued in a deluxe edition, widely via streamers and digital download services, which added eight bonus tracks.

Closing out the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200 are Kendrick Lamar’s chart-topping GNX (rising 10-8 with 34,000 equivalent album units earned; down 6%), Wallen’s former leader Dangerous: The Double Album (bumping 13-9 with 32,000; up 6%) and PARTYNEXTDOOR and Drake’s $ome $exy $ongs 4 U (11-10 with 30,500; down 7%).
