For the first time in four months, Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem is back at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, as the set climbs 2-1 on the list dated Jan. 17. The set collects its 13th nonconsecutive week atop the list, and its first since the Aug. 30, 2025-dated chart. The album debuted at No. 1 on the May 31, 2025, chart and spent 12 nonconsecutive weeks in the lead beginning with its debut frame.
I’m the Problem earned 85,000 equivalent album units in the United States in the week ending Jan. 8, according to Luminate, with the bulk of that sum driven by streaming activity of its songs.
Meanwhile, Olivia Dean’s The Art of Loving continues to scale to new heights on the Billboard 200, hitting a new peak as it rises 4-3. It also posts new plateaus on the Top Album Sales and Top Streaming Albums charts.
The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 2,500 ad-supported or 1,000 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. (This is the first week of updated streaming equivalent measurements.) The new Jan. 17, 2026-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Jan. 13.
