Morgan Wallen’s One Thing At A Time album isn’t even out yet and several songs from the project are already dominating Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart.

According to Billboard, Wallen has earned seven Top 10 hits on the chart with songs from his One Thing At A Time album.

The 36-song project officially arrives on March 3, but several of the tracks have already made a major impact with fans including “Last Night,” which according to Billboard, debuted on the Feb. 11 dated streaming-, airplay- and sales-based survey at No.7.

Luminate reports that “Last Night” raked in 11.8 million U.S. streams and moved 8,000 downloads in the week ending Feb. 2. This earned the East Tennessee native his ninth No.1 on the Country Digital Song Sales chart.

According to Billboard, Wallen earned his 18th Top 10 on the Hot Country Songs chart ahead of the album release.

The songs from One Thing At A Time that have earned a spot in the Top 10 on the chart include: “Don’t Think Jesus” (peak position No.1), “Thought You Should Know” (peak position No.1), “You Proof” (peak position No.1), “One Thing At A Time” (peak position No.2), “Tennessee Fan” (peak position No. 5), “Days That End In Why” (peak position No.7), and “Last Night” (peak position No.7).

Two other tracks released ahead of One Thing At A Time, “I Wrote The Book” and “Everything I Love,” debuted on the Hot Country Songs Chart at No.16 and No. 18, respectively.

As songs from One Thing At A Time continue to rank on the charts, Wallen’s sophomore project, Dangerous: The Double Album, sits atop the Top Country Albums chart for a record-breaking 93rd week.

Arriving on March 3, One Thing At A Time will feature 36 new songs, including duets with Eric Church, HARDY and ERNEST. Wallen’s sister Ashlyne will also make an appearance on the project, singing harmonies on the song titled “Outlook.”

“I grew up in church singing three-part harmonies with my two sisters. That’s how I learned to sing, so this was a full-circle moment for Ashlyne and me,” Wallen continued.

One Thing At A Time will showcase Wallen’s wide range of musical influences as well as combine his love for country, rock and hip-hop.

“This record represents the last few years of my life, the highs and the lows,” Wallen said in a press release. “It also brings together the musical influences that have shaped me as an artist – country, alternative and hip-hop.”

“I just try to tell it how it is – the good, the bad, the love, the heartbreak. That’s all I know how to do,” Wallen admitted. “My hope is that this album makes my fans proud; makes ’em laugh, smirk, cry, and think – just like it did for me.”

Also included on the much-anticipated project are several previously teased tunes such as “Ain’t That Some,” “Whiskey Friends,” “Keith Whitley,” “Me + All Your Reasons,” as well as his latest No. 1 hit, “You Proof,” and current single, “Thought You Should Know.”

“There are 36 songs on this album because we just kept exploring with fresh lyrics, music and production ideas and these are the songs that felt right to me,” Wallen added. “It was a blast to create, and I was so grateful to be back in the studio to lay this out for my fans.”

The project’s album art holds family significance for Wallen as the photo was captured at the home of his late Mamaw (grandmother) in Sneedville, Tennessee. “My Mamaw Boots helped raise me. I had such a special bond with her, so I wanted to honor her with this new record,” Wallen said.

The album follows his record-breaking project, Dangerous: The Double Album, which spawned three chart-topping hits, including “Wasted On You,” “More Than My Hometown,” and “Sand in My Boots.”

Additionally, Wallen will soon return to the road for his first-ever stadium tour, dubbed One Night At A Time World Tour.

The tour officially kicks off on Wednesday, March 15 in Auckland, NZ at the Spark Arena. The U.S. leg of the tour begins on April 14 with back-to-back nights at Milwaukee’s American Family Field. 

Marking one of the largest tours of 2023 so far and the biggest tour of Wallen’s career, the 63-show trek will visit 30 stadiums, plus arenas, amphitheaters and festivals to fans across four countries and two continents. The trek will feature support from ERNEST and Bailey Zimmerman on all dates. HARDY and Parker McCollum will also appear on select dates.

After making his stadium debut with a record-breaking show at Globe Life Field in Texas, Wallen will visit several ballparks throughout North America, including New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium, Milwaukee’s American Family Field, Chicago’s Wrigley Field, Boston’s Fenway Park and more.

Produced by Live Nation, the North American leg of the trek will wrap up on October 7 at Tacoma Dome in Washington.

The One Night At A Time World Tour comes after Wallen’s highly successful Dangerous Tour, which included more than 50 sold-out shows. The record-breaking trek broke records at 30 venues across the U.S. during its 8-month-long run, including historic sellouts at 11 venues, while simultaneously breaking attendance records with stops at XFINITY Theatre, AmericanBank Center and Darien Lake Amphitheater.

In an effort to give back to those in need, Wallen will donate $3 of every ticket sold on the U.S. dates to the More Than My Hometown Foundation. Established in 2021, the foundation benefits causes near and dear to the superstar’s heart, including organizations such as Greater Good Music, Children Are People, the Salvation Army, and the National Museum of African American Music.
