Morgan Wallen has been sharing singles lately as he prepares to drop his fourth album. No title or release date has been unveiled just yet, but with a handful of tunes out in the world that have already become hugely successful, it’s only a matter of time before a complete collection is properly announced.
As fans of the country superstar wait to hear about a full-length, Americans are still listening to one of his most successful releases. Dangerous (officially titled Dangerous: The Double Album) was released more than three and a half years ago, but it’s still performing incredibly well—and as of this week, it’s reached a special milestone.
Dangerous hits 200 weeks on the Billboard 200, as of this frame. The set is Wallen’s second to make it to that landmark figure, which is far from guaranteed for any project, even those from well-known artists.
Wallen’s debut album If I Know Me was his first to reach 200 turns on Billboard’s ranking of the most-consumed albums in the U.S. That star-making release is now up to 319 weeks on the list, as it’s still going to this day. This time around, the first offering from the Grammy nominee narrowly holds on inside the upper half of the 200-spot tally.
Dangerous isn’t just present somewhere on the Billboard 200—it’s actually on the rise, living much closer to the top tier than most titles could manage after so much time on the chart. Wallen’s sophomore project lifts from No. 21 to No. 18 as it celebrates reaching multiple hundreds of frames on the competitive roster.
In the past tracking period, Luminate reports that Dangerous shifted another 28,500 equivalent units. That sum includes fewer than 500 sales, as streams of the 30 songs featured on the lengthy studio effort are keeping the title afloat.
Dangerous is improving on the Billboard 200, but it’s not Wallen’s highest-charting album at the moment. One Thing at a Time slips slightly from No. 8 to No. 10, earning another stay inside the loftiest region—even after almost a year and a half on the tally.
