Morgan Wallen is inching closer and closer to the release of what may be the largest album debut of 2025: his upcoming full-length I’m the Problem . He’s already produced a slew of hits from a project that isn’t even out yet, and which won’t be for several weeks. The country superstar dropped a brand new single a little over a week ago, and it’s immediately become another smash to add to his ever-expanding list of favorites. “I Ain’t Coming Back,” his latest collaboration with Post Malone, almost returned him to the No. 1 spot on a pair of Billboard rankings. This frame, the tune misses that mark by a single space, becoming another hit — but not a champion. “I Ain’t Coming Back” Launches at No. 2 “I Ain’t Coming Back” launches in the runner-up spot on both the Streaming Songs and Country Digital Song Sales charts. The former list covers all genres and ranks the most-played titles across major platforms such as Tidal, Apple Music, Napster, iHeartRadio, and Spotify. The latter focuses specifically on the top-performing country tracks in terms of digital purchases, with each tune’s style defined by Billboard . Morgan Wallen’s Previous Streaming No. 1s While Wallen doesn’t add to his growing list of leaders this frame, he’s previously topped both of these charts. He has now earned four No. 1s on the Streaming Songs tally, which is a significant achievement for a country musician. Two singles from I’m the Problem — the title cut and “Love Somebody” — each spent one turn at No. 1. His prior team-up with Malone, “I Had Some Help,” earned two weeks at the summit. “Last Night,” arguably his biggest smash, ruled the Country Digital Song Sales chart for 19 frames. Morgan Wallen Now Claims 16 No. 1 Hits While it doesn’t top every chart this frame, “I Ain’t Coming Back” does manage to conquer one Billboard tally. The cut opens in first place on the latest edition of the Country Streaming Songs chart. It opens at No. 1, earning Wallen his sixteenth leader on that roster and giving Malone his second career chart-topper in the country field. The Stars That Block Morgan Wallen and Post Malone Malone Different tracks block Wallen and Malone from hitting No. 1 on both the Streaming Songs and Country Digital Song Sales lists. On the former, newcomer Alex Warren surges to the summit with “Ordinary,” which is quickly shaping up to be not just his breakout tune, but one of the hottest hits of 2025. On the Country Digital Song Sales roster, “Hard Fought Hallelujah,” a duet between Brandon Lake and Jelly Roll, reigns. The track had been available for a while as a solo cut, but the addition of Jelly elevates it to the top of this genre-specific list. “I Ain’t Coming Back” Appears on Eight Billboard Charts “I Ain’t Coming Back” debuts on eight Billboard rankings this week. It opens inside the top 10 on all but two of them, and manages to enter that uppermost tier on three of the most important lists published by the company: the Hot 100 (No. 8), Digital Song Sales (No. 4), and, of course, Streaming Songs rosters (No. 2).
