Kimmo 80,623 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 ••• Ok so his album is breaking records Morgan Wallen’s Dangerous: The Double Album spends its 51st week at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart this week, setting a record for the longest run since the chart launched in January 1964, according to Billboard. ••• The Academy of Country Music still awards him Morgan Wallen has won album of the year at the Academy of Country Music awards, a year after being suspended by his label for using a racial slur. The US singer did not address the controversy directly but thanked those who had "shown me grace along the way" as he collected his prize in Las Vegas. Wallen apologised last year after a video emerged showing him yelling the N-word outside his home in Nashville. ••• His new tour is set to be bigger than ever “Morgan Wallen has announced the first-ever headlining stadium gig of his career. The country singer is set to perform at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, on Oct. 8, 2022” Anyway… Hottie Detector Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roughhouse Dandy 11,271 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Simple: racism is still celebrated by a good portion of the population and a larger portion is willing to ignore it as long as the prejudice doesnt affect them personally 🙃 This is my Hannah Montana™️ lipgloss.

NCgaga 4,323 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 There are no excuses for the word, but I think you have to figure out why it was used. In his case, he was calling his friend, whose girlfriend was drunk that word(for whatever reason) because his friend wasn’t taking care of her. I’ve heard straights of all races use the word out of ignorance with their friends or when they are fighting- and it’s just dumb. He actually checked himself into a 30 day rehab program to figure out why drinking makes him and his friends do or say wreckless things. He also apologized. I think he did all he could do at this point and it makes it easier to let him try to be a better person. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chic 20,830 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 They don’t love him that much, he’s just someone who’s using their political interests to his advantage to sell music. He has some degree of mainstream appeal I imagine, too. They tend to throw money at anyone they ideologically agree with because it gives them a sense of being more powerful and influential than they really are. They want badly to be known as the silent majority, this is essentially a flex for them. By making him more famous, they inflate the extent of their power and reach.

Bling 31,367 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Yeah I noticed this too whenever the Billboard Top Albums on here are shown, he's always in the top 5 which is scary. But I'm not surprised tbh. I grew up in the southern US and it's so racist and ignorant, you have no idea. I have no doubt that people wanna be petty and have his album in a Spotify playlists and have it set to play on repeat all the time just to drive up streaming numbers. They're idiots and want to show you can still say the N word and be successful and they probably bow down and pray for the day Trump gets re-elected. This country really is a disgusting mess and I'm ashamed of what it's become EDIT: @PartySick can word it better than me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
