Morgan Wallen is letting his fans and the numbers tell the story. Apple Music, a huge music streaming service, recently named his album, I’m the Problem, the most listened-to project of the year. It is a significant achievement that the industry cannot ignore.
This huge fan win happened right after Wallen was snubbed at the CMA Awards. He was the most-nominated artist that night but lost the most significant award, Entertainer of the Year. Wallen did not even show up to the ceremony. He shared the Apple Music news on Instagram with a quiet but powerful message: “I like to let my fans do the talking.”
Morgan Wallen Breaks His Silence and Fans Think He Just Shaded the CMA Awards After Big Apple Music
This jab hit the CMA Awards hard. For a long time, the CMAs were the ones who decided who was a star in country music. Wallen’s message shows that this power is shifting. His fans agreed, saying, “He’s a people person who would rather take care of his fans than win awards, and that makes him a great guy.”
The story with Wallen and the CMAs goes back to 2021. After he used a racial slur on video, the CMAs acted as a gatekeeper. They banned him from attending the ceremony and from being nominated in many categories that year. But this move backfired. His fans stood by him, and his sales and streams rose even further.
Still The Problem Tour 2026
Wallen’s success grew so big that the CMAs had to let him back in. But this time, Morgan doesn’t attend. Instead, he focuses on his career. He’s now doing a “Still the problem tour”, which people are patiently waiting for. The ticket prices are high, but fans say they’re justified since they get to see the Prince of Country Music.
