In case you missed it...
Morgan Wallen owns music. Broad statement, but his "One Thing At A Time" album has spent the last two weeks shattering just about every music chart record there is. His latest incredible achievement: every single track from that album - and there are 36 of them - are on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Easy math: that's 36% of the entire chart! This destroys the previous record of 27 set by Drake in 2018. Here are the songs and chart positions for this past chart week:

That's not the only record Morgan has set these last few weeks:
- He has the first country genre No. 1 on the "Billboard" Streaming Songs chart by a solo man, as "Last Night" shoots to the top of the March 18-dated survey. It’s also just the third country track to reach No. 1 in total since the chart launched in 2013.
- Wallen owns 30 entries on the March 18-dated Streaming Songs, most of which come from "One Day at a Time". As such, Wallen breaks Drake’s record for the most simultaneous appearances on Streaming Songs in one week.
- On the "Billboard Hot 100", he claims five of the chart’s top 10 – becoming the first core country act to claim half the top 10 in a single week, as well as only the sixth act overall ever to achieve the feat.
- For 2023, Wallen has charted the most songs on the Hot 100 so far in the calendar year, vaulting from nine to 38 entries in that span, more than double the sum of runner-up SZA, with 16.
It's a career year for Morgan Wallen - and we're only half way through March.
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have donated to Vanderbilt University Medical Center to support breast cancer trials. The celebrity husband and wife live in Nashville, which is where the medical center is. A hospital spokesperson says they are grateful for the donation adding that it's a cause close to Kidman's heart because her mother is a breast cancer survivor. She explains “My experience of watching a parent or another loved one battle cancer is something that far too many people have had to endure. I am fortunate to have had my mother with me all these years since.” The money will go toward the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center to further research and clinical trials.
