Morgan Wallen scored his ninth No. 1 single at Country radio with “Last Night,” a track from his 36-track third studio album, One Thing At A Time.
The song claimed the top spot on the Billboard Country Airplay chart just 7 weeks after it was officially sent to radio and 11 weeks after its release. According to Billboard, this is the fastest climb to No.1 since 2015 when Luke Bryan ruled the chart with “Strip It Down.”
The news comes after Wallen earned his eighth No. 1 with “Thought You Should Know” just 11 weeks prior. This allows Wallen to tie another record with Bryan, marking the quickest time to acquire two No.1s by a single artist since Bryan topped the charts with “Kick The Dust Up” and “Strip It Down” in 2015.
“Last Night” – One Record At A time Sessions
Co-written by John Byron, Ashley Gorley, Jacob Kasher Hindlin and Ryan Vojtesak, “Last Night” was an instant hit upon the release of the album. The track details an alcohol-induced argument between a couple.
“I know that last night we let the liquor talk/ I can’t remember everything we said but we said it all/ You told me that you wish I was somebody you never met/ But baby, baby somethin’s tellin’ me this ain’t over yet/ No way it was our last night/ No way it was our last night,” Wallen sings on the chorus.
Morgan Wallen launched his infamous acoustic series, dubbed One Record At A Time Sessions, with a stripped down performance of “Last Night” in February.
Directed by Justin Clough and filmed at Skyway Studios, the clip features Wallen delivering a laid back performance of the fan-favorite hit. The video finds Wallen performing the tune alongside his touring band in a rehearsal space as they prepared for the One Night At A Time World Tour.
New Album, One Thing At A Time
“Last Night” appears on Wallen’s new album, One Thing At A Time, which arrived on March 3.
One Thing At A Time showcases Wallen’s wide range of musical influences as well as combine his love for country, rock and hip-hop.
The project features 36 tracks, including duets with Eric Church, HARDY and ERNEST. Wallen’s sister Ashlyne also makes an appearance on the project, singing harmonies on the song titled “Outlook.” He also pays tribute to his son, Indigo (Indie) Wilder Wallen, on the project with the tune “Dying Man,” which he often dedicates to Indie during his live concerts.
“This record represents the last few years of my life, the highs and the lows,” Wallen previously shared in a statement. “It also brings together the musical influences that have shaped me as an artist – country, alternative and hip-hop.”
One Night At A Time World Tour
Wallen is currently in the midst of the U.S. leg of his record-breaking One Night At A Time World Tour, which kicked off with two sold-out shows at American Family Field in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in April.
The One Night At A Time World Tour marks Wallen’s first-time ever headlining stadiums across the globe for multiple nights.
Marking one of the largest tours of 2023 so far and the biggest tour of Wallen’s career, the lengthy trek will visit 30 stadiums, plus arenas, amphitheaters and festivals to fans across four countries and two continents.
The North American leg of the trek will wrap up on October 7 at Tacoma Dome in Washington.
The tour, which kicked off in March with shows in New Zealand and Australia, will return overseas this fall with stops in Canada before heading to The O2 in London on Dec. 3.
Produced by Live Nation, the trek will feature support from ERNEST and Bailey Zimmerman on all dates. HARDY and Parker McCollum will also appear on select dates.
In an effort to give back to those in need, Wallen will donate $3 of every ticket sold on the U.S. dates to The Morgan Wallen Foundation. Established in 2021, the foundation benefits causes near and dear to the superstar’s heart, including organizations such as Greater Good Music, Children Are People, the Salvation Army, and the National Museum of African American Music.
Additionally, Morgan Wallen will also perform at several festivals this summer such as Gulf Coast Jam, Carolina Country Music Fest, We Fest, Big Valley Jamboree, YQM Country Fest, and more.
Additionally, Wallen recently earned four nominations at the 2023 ACM Awards, including the coveted Entertainer Of The Year, Male Artist Of The Year, Song Of The Year (“Sand In My Boots”) and Artist-Songwriter Of The Year. The country hitmaker is also set to perform at the awards show.
