Morgan Cole Wallen (born May 13, 1993) is an American country pop singer from Sneedville, Tennessee. He competed in the sixth season of The Voice. After being eliminated in the playoffs, he signed to Panacea Records and released his debut extended play Stand Alone (2015).

Wallen's second studio album Dangerous: The Double Album (2021) was an immediate commercial success, becoming the first country album to spend its first seven weeks atop the Billboard 200 chart.[5] The album spent the three following weeks at number one, thus spending its first ten weeks atop the chart.[6] Dangerous: The Double Album included four singles: "More Than My Hometown", "7 Summers", "Sand in My Boots", and "Wasted on You", as well as various promotional singles.[7]

All 36 tracks from the album charted on the Billboard Hot 100 simultaneously, breaking the record set by Drake (27),[8] Wallen additionally charted five tracks in the top-ten of the chart. The album spawned eight singles: "You Proof", "Thought You Should Know", "Last Night", the title track, "Everything I Love", "Thinkin' Bout Me", "Man Made a Bar" (featuring Eric Church), and "Cowgirls" (featuring Ernest). The single "Last Night" peaked atop the Billboard Hot 100, marking Wallen's first number-one single on this chart, spent sixteen non-consecutive weeks atop the chart throughout 2023, and topped the 2023 year-end chart.

Wallen's fourth studio album I'm the Problem was released on May 16, 2025. It peaked atop the Billboard 200 for two consecutive weeks and spawned the Billboard Hot 100 chart-topping singles "Love Somebody" and "What I Want" (featuring Tate McRae).
