On Jan. 24, country music superstar Morgan Wallen announced his newest tour, titled the “I’m The Problem Tour.”
This news comes in tandem with Wallen’s announcement of a new single, which shares the same name as the tour itself, and will be the title track on his upcoming album.
The country singer said via his social media pages that he is “still working on” the album, which he hasn’t publicly set a release date for yet.
Wallen hasn’t released an album since his chart-topping “One Thing At A Time,” which came out in March 2023.
“One Thing At A Time,” was technically his fourth studio album, and one of his most successful. Wallen’s old label released his earliest album, “Stand Alone,” this past year without his permission. So while “One Thing At A Time” is his fourth studio album, it is only the third one that he and his team have released.
That album features some of Wallen’s most popular and well-known songs, including “Cowgirls,” which he released with his good friend and country singer ERNEST, as well as “Thinkin’ Bout Me,” both of which have eclipsed 500,000 streams on Spotify.
The album also features Wallen’s most popular song to date, “Last Night,” which has over a billion streams on Spotify and was nominated for Best Country Song at the 2024 Grammy Awards. “Last Night” was also voted Billboard’s No. 1 Song of the Summer.
Both “One Thing At A Time,” and Wallen’s 2021 album “Dangerous,” still rank in the top 10 most streamed albums in the U.S., at No. 2 and No. 8 respectively. Both albums helped him earn the No. 4 spot for Most Streamed Artist in the U. S. in 2024, only behind Taylor Swift, Drake and Zach Bryan.
Wallen has already released three singles prior to the upcoming title track, all of which have debuted in the top 30 of the Billboard Top 100 list.
The first of which was “Lies, Lies, Lies,” released in July 2024 and debuted at No. 7 on the Hot 100 list. This song directly followed Wallen and Post Malone’s megahit “I Had Some Help,” which swept the nation and was nominated for Best Country Song and Best Country Duo/Group Performance at the 2025 Grammys.
The next song was “Love Somebody,” which he released in October 2024. It debuted at No. 1 on the Hot 100 list, and still sits in the top 10, one song ahead of Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso.”
The last and most recent song is “Smile,” which Wallen released unannounced on New Years Eve. The song has a slower feel than the other two, yet still debuted at No. 27 and later peaked at No. 4 on the Hot 100 list. The song currently sits at No. 18, meaning Wallen has three total songs in the top 20.
In recent years, Wallen has seen his life shrouded in controversy, including an incident involving a barstool being thrown from a rooftop bar. However, he always seems to bounce back better than ever, and this album seems like it may be a sign of that.
A couple of weeks ago, Wallen shared via his Instagram story a photo of himself in the studio captioned “Locked in.” Here’s to hoping that statement is true and that Wallen’s new album sees the light of day in the oncoming months.
Only touring in 10 locations, including cities in both the U.S. and Canada, he is spending two days in all locations, making the tour as it stands 20 different shows.
Wallen has stops in Madison, Wisconsin, Miami Gardens, Florida, Glendale, Arizona, Santa Clara, California and Foxborough, Massachusetts, as well as Houston, Seattle and Cleveland. He also heads North for shows in Toronto and Edmonton, Alberta.
To many fans’ dismay, Wallen left large hubs like New York and Pennsylvania off his tour list, as well as his home state of Tennessee.
Wallen is taking some of country music’s biggest names along with him, including Thomas Rhett, Miranda Lambert and Brooks and Dunn.
Along with them, Wallen is also bringing some of the genre’s biggest up- and-coming artists, including Ella Langley, Corey Kent, Koe Wetzel, Gavin Adcock and Anne Wilson.
Suffice to say, Wallen still remains at the top of country music’s hierarchy and is likely not going anywhere anytime soon. This tour is lining up to be one of his best, based on the new music and the crew that is joining him, which excites fans all around.
