May 18, 2026, 11:13 AM | Updated: 11:14 am

No ACM wins? No problem for Morgan Wallen as he continues to stack even more record breaking feats, this time being a first for Country music.

Morgan Wallen, who many felt was snubbed with no ACM award wins on Sunday night, can walk away with his head high becoming the first Country music artist in history to reach 30 Billion streams on Spotify alone!

The feat averages out to almost 12 million streams a day.

He joins a list that includes only 53 artists who have reached that milestone with artists such as Beyonce, Lil Wayne, Maroon 5 and Lady Gaga.

He also has 3 songs with at least 1 billion streams on their own with “I Had Some Help” (1.483 Billion), “Last Night” (1.482 billion) and “Whiskey Glasses” (1.15 billion) with “Wasted On You) right on their heels with 991 million.
