Country music star Morgan Wallen has dropped his new album, an extensive 37-track record, which has already broken a record.
Within hours of its Friday release, Iâm The Problem had already become Spotifyâs most-streamed country album in 2025 so far, the company announced.
Yet, despite its impressive early milestone, Wallenâs album hasnât totally resonated with listeners, with one X user describing it as âTaylor Swift for dudes that wear trucker hats and peaked in high school.â
A second more plainly labeled it âtrash,â while a third found that âMorgan Wallenâs voice and singing tone sound like the noise I imagine a cat makes once punched.â
âMorgan Wallen makes country music for people who donât like country music,â another argued.
Others, however, hailed the album, with one fan declaring it had âno misses.â
Cover art for Morgan Wallenâs new album, âIâm The Problemâ (Mercury Records )âMorgan Wallen drops another masterpiece,â a second agreed.
Iâm The Problem comes two years after the release of his 2023 album, One Thing At A Time. It features rising pop star Tate McRae, fellow country singer Eric Church, singer-songwriter HARDY, Grammy-winning artist Post Malone, and Nashville singer ERNEST.
Morgan Wallen released his new 37-track album, 'I'm the Problem' (Getty )Though Wallen, 32, is considered one of the most commercially successful artists in the U.S., he has also been dogged by a string of scandals throughout his career.
Last month, the âLove Somebodyâ hitmaker returned to Saturday Night Live as the musical guest alongside host Oscar-winning Anora star Mikey Madison. As the credits began rolling, Wallen quickly walked off stage instead of staying behind to congratulate the cast members until the broadcast ended, as most guests usually do.
He then took to Instagram to share a photo from a plane window, alongside the caption: âGet me to Godâs Country.â
Wallenâs behavior came under intense scrutiny, with viewers criticizing his swift exit as âtone-deaf.â

Sources close to Wallen, however, insisted that there was no ill intent behind his abrupt departure or subsequent social media post. It was also revealed that he had walked on and exited the stage the same way during rehearsals, and he may not have been thinking about the camera at the end of the broadcast.
The previous year, the âI Had Some Helpâ singer was arrested and charged with three felony counts and one misdemeanor after throwing a chair off the roof of a six-story Nashville bar.
Last December Wallen reached a plea deal with prosecutors, agreeing to plead guilty to misdemeanor charges. In exchange, his charges were reduced to two misdemeanor counts of reckless endangerment without a weapon. He was sentenced to spend seven days in a DUI education center and be under supervised probation for two years.
He later addressed the incident, writing on social media: âI didnât feel right publicly checking in until I made amends with some folks.
âIâve touched base with Nashville law enforcement, my family, and the good people at Chiefâs [the Nashville bar]. Iâm not proud of my behavior, and I accept responsibility,â he added. âI have the utmost respect for the officers working every day to keep us all safe.â
Iâm The Problem is out now.
Though disappointed Jack Ciattarelli got the endorsement, the ex-radio host says he's still seeing a surge in support.
