Morgan Wallen has achieved a major milestone by scoring his twenty-first No. 1 hit on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart with his single “Don’t We.” This latest success breaks his previous tie with Brad Paisley and Luke Combs, putting him on par with Keith Urban and Thomas Rhett for the eighth-most No. 1 songs in the chart's history. “Don’t We” is Wallen’s second chart-topping single of 2026, following the earlier success of “20 Cigarettes” which peaked in February.
This victory further cements Wallen’s dominant presence in country music, as he continues to convert nearly every single one of his Country Airplay top 10 hits into No. 1s. Alongside “Don’t We,” his collaboration with Ella Langley, “I Can’t Love You Anymore,” has reached a new high at No. 2, signaling the potential for Wallen to add a twenty-second leader soon. This would place him above Urban and Rhett, solidifying his status even further.
While Wallen steadily climbs the ranks, Kenny Chesney remains the top artist in the Country Airplay chart’s history with 33 No. 1 hits. Blake Shelton follows with 30, and Tim McGraw and Jason Aldean hold 29 and 27 No. 1 titles, respectively. Aldean’s recent hit “Don’t Tell on Me” helped him surpass other country legends before making way for Wallen’s latest triumph.
Currently, Wallen impressively holds the top two spots on the Country Airplay chart, a rare feat highlighting his influence in the country scene. Should “I Can’t Love You Anymore” reach the No. 1 position, it will mark another historic moment in Wallen’s career and add another No. 1 to Ella Langley’s credits. This ongoing success reflects Wallen’s growing legacy as a leading figure in contemporary country music.
