Taylor Swift vs. Morgan Wallen: Who's On Top in Their Latest Battle of the Charts?

Taylor Swift and Morgan Wallen are, once again, battling it out on the charts.

The two frequently go head-to-head, constantly breaking each other's records on the charts, Taste of Country reports. With his latest Post Malone collaboration "I Had Some Help," Wallen clinched the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 last week, marking the 19th week that he has been at the top since the start of 2020.

The achievement beats Swift's record by one week. Since 2020, the Grammy-winner has spent 18 weeks at No. 1, two of those being with "Fortnight," her duet with Post Malone.

The record-breaking move comes after Swift recently dethroned Wallen from having the most songs from one album claiming 30 spots on the iconic charts at once. Once the "Cruel Summer" singer dropped the "Anthology" version of Tortured Poets, she occupied 31 spots. Therefore, she was able to beat Wallen's record by one point.

Swift achieved a major accomplishment in April when her Tortured Poets Department album debuted with a whopping 2.6 million units, including streaming numbers, radio play, and physical copies.

"My mind is blown. I'm completely floored by the love you've shown this album," she posted to social media. "2.6 million ARE YOU ACTUALLY SERIOUS?? Thank you for listening, streaming, and welcoming Tortured Poets into your life. Feeling completely overwhelmed. I was already so fired up to get back to the tour but you doing THIS?? May 9th can't come soon enough."

Swift was certainly "fired up" when she returned with more Eras Tour shows, as she added a brand-new Tortured Poets Department section to incorporate songs from the recently-debuted album into the show.

While it has yet to be seen if Wallen's next album will have 32 tracks to combat Swift's Anthology, he might be too busy with court appearances from his recent legal incident to get back into the studio. He was arrested back in April after drunkenly throwing a chair off of the roof of Eric Church's Nashville bar.

Although he has frequently run into trouble in the Broadway district, he has now opened up his own bar, Morgan Wallen's This Bar & Tennessee Kitchen. The establishment offers a full food menu, three different bars, and different stages for live entertainment.

With Wallen currently on top, will Swift push a new single to get back her having the most weeks at No. 1? The singer is known to drop new versions of her already-released albums to promote a single. Additionally, new remixes or live versions from her Eras Tour have been used in the past to bump singles up on the charts. As always, the singer is known to put on a high-budget music video that could also take one of her songs back to the top.
