AceShowbiz - Morgan Wallen is making waves yet again with his latest single, "Love Somebody", which has swiftly ascended to the top of Billboard's charts. Released on October 18, the track has earned Wallen his first No. 1 debut as a lead act on Billboard's Streaming Songs chart and his third Billboard Hot 100 leader.
In its first week, "Love Somebody" garnered an impressive 31.1 million official U.S. streams and 15.2 million radio airplay audience impressions, according to Luminate. The song also clinched the No. 1 spot on Billboard's Digital Song Sales chart, making it Wallen's seventh leader in that category.
Notably, Wallen's latest hit is part of a significant trend for country music. "Love Somebody" is the fourth country song to top the Streaming Songs chart in 2024, following Brenda Lee's "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree," Post Malone and Wallen's "I Had Some Help," and Shaboozey's "A Bar Song (Tipsy)." This year has seen the most diverse representation of country music at No. 1 since the inception of these charts.
Wallen expressed his excitement over the new track, stating that "Love Somebody" signifies a slight departure from his usual style. "I wanted to try something different, with what I wanted to talk about ... how I wanted it to sound, and we were inspired by Latin-leaning influences," Wallen shared.
