Morgan Wallen’s “What I Want,” featuring Tate McRae, entered the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 1. The emotional pop ballad centers on a turbulent romance between two heartbroken individuals.
The track is part of Wallen’s album “I’m The Problem,” which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and had the highest first-week performance of the year in equivalent album units. “What I Want” achieved 31.2 million official streams, becoming Wallen’s fourth No. 1 on the Hot 100 and McRae’s first. McRae’s previous highest-charting song was “Greedy,” which reached No. 3 in January 2024. She also earned her first No. 1 album in March with “So Close to What.” According to Billboard, she is the first artist in 2025 to simultaneously top both the singles and albums charts for the first time.
“I’m The Problem” earned 493,000 units in its debut week, surpassing the Weeknd’s earlier 2025 release, which opened with 490,000 units. The album holds the top three positions on the Hot 100 with “What I Want,” “Just in Case” at No. 2, and “I’m the Problem” at No. 3. It also achieved the year’s highest streaming numbers so far, recording 462.63 million on-demand official streams, the largest since Taylor Swift’s “The Tortured Poets Department,” which had 891.37 million in its first week.
Wallen’s previous albums continue to chart, with “One Thing at a Time” at No. 4 and “Dangerous: The Double Album” at No. 12. He sold 133,000 copies of “I’m The Problem” in its first week, marking his best sales performance to date, the top sales week for a country album this year, and the fourth-largest sales week overall.
The week’s only other debut is BTS member Jin’s solo release “Echo,” entering at No. 3 with 43,000 units and 35,000 in sales, his highest charting position following his No. 4 peak with “Happy” in 2024.
Other chart movements include SZA’s “SOS” rising to No. 2, while her tour with Kendrick Lamar continues. Lamar’s “GNX” moved up from No. 7 to No. 5. Sleep Token’s “Even in Arcadia” is at No. 6, followed by Sabrina Carpenter’s “Short n’ Sweet” at No. 7. PartyNextDoor and Drake’s “$ome $exy $ongs 4 U” ranks No. 8, Bad Bunny’s “Debí Tirar Más Fotos” lands at No. 9, and Fuerza Regida’s “111XPantia” rounds out the Top 10.
