Morgan Wallen is already a big winner ahead of tonight’s 2022 iHeartRadio Music Awards.
On Tuesday afternoon (Mar. 22), the East Tennessee native’s record-breaking sophomore project, Dangerous: The Double Album, was named Country Album of The Year by iHeartRadio.
Wallen has yet to acknowledge the award and iHeartRadio has not shared a video message.
Dangerous: The Double Album was the best-selling album across all-genres in 2021 with 3.2 million unit sold.
Wallen’s project peaked at No. 1 for 10 consecutive weeks on the Billboard 200 chart and currently sits in the No. 3 spot with 42,000 equivalent units sold this week, bringing the overall units sold to 3.5 million since its release.
Dangerous, which was produced by Joey Moi, features his latest No.1 single “Sand In My Boots,” as well as fan-favorite hits like his new radio single, “Wasted On You,” plus “7 Summers,” “More Than My Hometown,” “Cover Me Up,” “865,” “Somebody’s Problem” and more.
“Wasted On You” is Wallen’s current radio single from the project and has been climbing the charts.
