WALLEN'S BIG. HOW BIG?

Morgan Wallen's I'm the Problem (Big Loud/Mercury/Republic) will easily open at #1 on next week's HITS Top 50. After one day of sales and streams, the 37-track set is anticipating first-week activity of 450-500k. This is Wallen's third double album in just over four years and his third consecutive #1 debut; 2021's Dangerous: The Double Album collected 265k in its opening frame, while 2023's One Thing at a Time started off with 501k.
