Luminate data for the first half of 2026 put Morgan Wallen’s “I’m the Problem” at No. 1 with 2.035 million album units and Ella Langley’s “Dandelion” at No. 2 with 1.638 million.
Billboard said the ranking counts album sales, track-equivalent albums and streaming-equivalent albums, with 10 tracks sold or 1,000 paid streams equaling one unit.
Bad Bunny followed closely in third place with “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS” at 1.543 million units, leaving the top three tightly grouped behind Wallen’s lead.
The showing extends a strong run for both country stars, who also tour together, and underscores country music’s commercial strength in the U.S. this year.
