Country Music is mostly an AMERICAN thing and outside of our shores, you hardly hear anyone wanting to listen to this genre of music.
Who? BTW, it ain’t country music...pasturized rap or something
And I have never heard of him.
I like the title of the final track “Days that end in Why”—aside from that little of country music does anything for me. It all come across as Corporate, little or no flavor of its own, like its biggest success is how well it “crosses over” Gone are the days of Merle, George Jones, Ray Price and Marty Robbins.

Not a fan of that drunken slurring style of vocal. It’s really a form of rap.
Billboard Hot 100 isn’t what it used to be.
It ain’t country.
I never heard of any of these songs but I’m impressed. Thanks for posting.
Or Slim Whitman, who sold more records that the Beatles and Elvis . . . . .
Never herd (sic) of any of this and really don’t listen much or enjoy country music. However I do like that the genre exists, much preferable to rap, and occasionally there are some that emerge as great enjoyable hits.
It’s kind of just a novelty. Artists are basically marshaling their fans like a flash mob to swamp radio stations with calls to play their songs so they can force their way into the charts. Good for them for find a way to beat the system, but anything like this is irrelevant as regards what the listening interests of the general public are, which is what the charts are supposed to be trying to measure.
He ain’t no Billy Joe Shaver.
It’s mostly women that listen to this crap
Having never listened to his music, I went and listened to the first 20 seconds or so of “Last Night”. I assure you, it wasn’t worth that 20 seconds. On a scale of 1 to 10, it was about a minus 5.
Not even a good country tune and certainly no where near the perfect country song.
The real problem is the dearth of competition. Much of today’s country music is unlistenable. (Don’t tell my wife I said that)
I’ve heard the name before, but I have zero interest in hillbilly music. So I have never heard him sing. And have no plans to do so.
“Country Music is mostly an AMERICAN thing and outside of our shores, you hardly hear anyone wanting to listen to this genre of music.”
Except the Scots, the Aussies & the Kiwis.
Never heard of him, but maybe nobody else is making country music this week.
I am very happy for Morgan. For those who actually follow country, the Leftists tried to "cancel" Morgan during the COVID nonsense because he went to bars without a mask and apparently uttered a politically incorrect word or two.
SNL dropped him from their show and many radio stations, including Sirius/XM, dropped him from their playlists a couple years back.
After that happened, the fans made Morgan's album "Dangerous" the top selling country album of the year and the woke radio industry could not deny his massive success.
His current album "One Thing At A Time" is having staggering success. Landing 36 songs on the Billboard HOT 100 is an incredible achievement, even if Billboard has changed the methodology of their charts quite a bit since the days of The Beatles. Back then, it was more about actual sales of physical records. These days, it's much more about streams and downloads as very few people purchase their music on physical media.
Lastly, I think Morgan's music is quite good, despite the haters here. "Thought You Should Know" is one of my favorites by him, which tells the story of him calling his mother back home, letting her know that things have finally started working out for him, so her prayers for him weren't wasted after all.
If it were Garth Brooks it would cover 36 albums.
