Morgan Wallen Says His New Album Has ‘Way Too Many Songs’
Morgan Wallen released One Thing at a Time, complete with 36 new songs. Still, this country artist recognized this full-length album has “way too many songs” — or at least he jokingly said so during an interview with Barstool Sports.

He’s taking it One Thing at a Time. Wallen became one of the best known artists in modern country music with 2021’s Dangerous. In 2023, he returned with another album, teasing the project during his Barstool Sports “Sundae Conversation with Caleb Pressley” interview.
“It’s going pretty good. I’ve got a full album coming,” Wallen said regarding new music.
“It has way too many songs, yeah,” Wallen confirmed, saying there are 36 tracks on the collection. The interviewer noted that people would never hear the end of it. Wallen agreed, saying, “I think most people won’t.”
Morgan Wallen released his new album, ‘One Thing at a Time’ with 36 new songs
Wallen released One Thing at a Time in March 2023, jumping to the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Hot 200 music chart. The album has 36 original songs, including the title track, “I Wrote The Book,” “Everything I Love,” “Neon Star (Country Boy Lullaby,) and “Single That She Was.”
This wouldn’t be the first time Wallen debuted a longer-than-expected album. In 2021, the country artist released his double-album Dangerous, featuring 30 songs in total. In fact, this songwriter actually recorded 42 songs for One Thing at a Time — and cut a handful after losing interest in them.
“We actually recorded 42 songs originally, and then four or five months into the process of the album, I kind of got tired of about six songs,” Wallen noted during The All Country Podcast, “and I figured that was a bad sign, so we let those go.”
Other ones, he added, he still jams to and is “still proud of.”
Even if this album has “too many songs,” according to Wallen, each earned millions of plays on the streaming platform Spotify. One of the most popular, “Days that End in Why” has over 30 million Spotify plays. “Last Night,” which was released as a single, has over 115 Spotify plays.
