Morgan Cole Wallen, born May 13, 1993, in Sneedville, Tennessee, first appeared on "The Voice" (Season 6, 2014) before signing with Big Loud Records and releasing "If I Know Me" (2018). His sophomore album "Dangerous: The Double Album" (2021) spent 10 consecutive weeks at number one on the Billboard 200—the longest run by any album since 1992—and produced the Diamond-certified "Wasted on You." "One Thing at a Time" (2023) became the fastest album to reach one billion streams on Spotify and spent 16 weeks at number one on the Billboard 200—the most by any album since the chart's 1963 inception. Wallen became the first artist in history to have three simultaneous albums in the Billboard 200's top five. He has sold over 30 million records, earned multiple CMA Awards, and holds Guinness World Records for streaming milestones. Despite career setbacks from a 2021 controversy, his commercial trajectory has been one of the most remarkable in modern country music, demonstrating the genre's expanding streaming reach with younger audiences.
