Morgan Wallen has secured the No. 2 and No. 3 spots on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart this week with his singles “Don’t We” and the duet “I Can’t Love You Anymore” featuring Ella Langley. Both songs are poised for the top position but are currently held back by Jason Aldean’s “Don’t Tell on Me,” which remains at No. 1 for another week. This continued dominance prevents Wallen from achieving what would be a significant milestone on the competitive country radio landscape.

Wallen’s rising success is notable, as he already holds 20 No. 1 hits on the Country Airplay chart, one of the busiest metrics for country radio airplay. Should either of his current singles reach No. 1, he will achieve his 21st leader, surpassing contemporaries like Brad Paisley and Luke Combs, who are tied with him at 20 No. 1s. This would bring him closer to Keith Urban and Thomas Rhett, who each have 21 No. 1s and rank eighth for the most leaders in chart history.

Jason Aldean’s hold on the No. 1 position with “Don’t Tell on Me” marks his 27th No. 1 on Country Airplay, moving him past Alan Jackson, George Strait, and Luke Bryan to rank fourth all-time. Only Kenny Chesney, Blake Shelton, and Tim McGraw have more, with 33, 30, and 29 No. 1s, respectively. Aldean’s continued success exemplifies his enduring influence in country music.

In addition to his top three hits, Wallen has another collaboration, “McArthur,” featuring Hardy, Eric Church, and Tim McGraw, climbing to No. 17 on the chart. Meanwhile, Luke Combs, a frequent rival, also inches closer to the top, with his single “Be By You” rising to No. 5. This ongoing competition highlights the dynamic and highly contested nature of country music’s airplay rankings in 2026.
