...I have a new goal in life. Time to mobilize the MJ hags. If y'all need me, I'll be on LipStickAlly trying to harness the power of every housewife that lusts over the king

 

Also, cool how Wallen's core fanbase is a bunch of rednecks and nazi lovers. Really inspiring

And yet no one knows him outside the US so where's the cultural impact

People were saying the same thing about Taylor Swift back in the day, don’t jinx it

Yes but Morgan Wallen is actually local. Not "Taylor Swift is local" with a bunch of asterisks, buts, and ignoring key metrics or regions that said otherwise (Beyond her debut)

it's possible he will drop a new album soon and block #1 on Billboard for a few weeks and that's why everyone is releasing now. last week he debuted a new song on YouTube.

I'm really surprised he achieved this. He's in the same category as Elvis, MJ, Whitney, Prince, and I wouldn't exactly call him a household name. If any country were to chart like this you would think it would have been Willie Nelson or Dolly Parton. Kinda strange honestly...

The power of dyed in the wool, virulent racism

genuinely never heard this man's name outside of this website

Didn't know West Side Story held the record of most weeks at #1 on BB200. Well deserved, it's a masterpiece.
