Morgan Wallen's new album, "One Thing at a Time," made an impressive record soon after its release.

On March 3, Wallen dropped his 36-song album through his album release show at Bridgestone Arena.

"This record represents the last few years of my life, the highs and the lows," Wallen said in a statement. "It also brings together the musical influences that have shaped me as an artist - country, alternative and hip-hop."

Following the release of the album, data tracking firm Luminate (via Billboard) confirmed that the country musician's album generated a total of 101 million on-demand audio streams in the US. The feat followed the feat that his last album, "Dangerous: The Double Album," made when it had 240.18 million streams in its debut week in 2021.

On top of the millions of clicks, Wallen's "One Thing at a Time" also sold over 60,000 copies on its first day alone.

According to the publication, Wallen will set a new record if his new album tops Billboard 200, the same recognition his "Dangerous" savored.

Some of the songs on Wallen's "One Thing at a Time" are "Born with a Beer in My Hand," "Man Made a Bar" (featuring Eric Church), "Devil Don't Know," "Tennessee Numbers," "Thought You Should Know," "Single Than She Was," "Last Drive Down Main," "Good Girl Gone Missin,'" and "Dying Man."

Morgan Wallen Also Breaks Record on Spotify

Aside from the Luminate data, Spotify confirmed that Wallen's new album also saw multi-million streams on the platform,

According to Spotify, "One Thing at a Time" recorded 52.29 million streams, making it the most-streamed country album in a single day by a male artist.

The music streaming giant supported Wallen's release by working with him to surprise the students at the singer's high school, Gibbs High School in Knoxville, Tennessee.

On Thursday, Wallen made a surprise visit before holding a concert that Thursday evening. During his appearance, he performed some of the songs from his album, including "Keith Whitley," "Last Night," and "All Your Reasons."

On top of those, he also sang "More Than My Hometown," "Thought You Should Know," and "You Proof," among others.

Wallen extended his gratitude to his alma mater by making a $35,000-worth donation through the principal. The amount, which was from the Morgan Wallen Foundation, will reportedly be used to support the school's performing arts and sports programs.
