Country music star Morgan Wallen was arrested in Nashville after allegedly throwing a chair from the sixth floor of a rooftop bar, leading to three counts of reckless endangerment and one count of disorderly conduct. His bond was set at $15,250, and he was released a few hours later. This is not Wallen's first encounter with the law in Nashville, as he was previously arrested for intoxication and disorderly conduct in May 2020. Wallen faced backlash in 2021 after a video of him using a racial slur surfaced. He has released a third studio album titled 'One Thing at a Time.'

American country singer Morgan Wallen has released three studio albums, three EPs, thirteen singles, and thirteen music videos.Wallen debuted in 2016 with the single and extended play "The Way I Talk", his first entry on Billboard Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay. This was followed in 2017 by "Up Down", a collaboration with Florida Georgia Line which topped Country Airplay after release. This song's follow-ups "Whiskey Glasses" and "Chasin' You" both went to number one on that chart, with the former also topping Hot Country Songs. All four of these appeared on his 2018 studio album If I Know Me.His second studio release, 2021's Dangerous: The Double Album, was led off by the number one single "More Than My Hometown". The follow-up "7 Summers" topped Hot Country Songs but only reached number 15 on Country Airplay following a temporary withdrawal of Wallen's music from various radio stations after a February 2021 leak of a video in which the singer used a racial slur. After stations reinstated Wallen's music, the tracks "Sand in My Boots" and "Wasted on You" were released as singles as well, with both topping Country Airplay.One Thing at a Time, Wallen's third studio album, had its first three singles top both Country Airplay and Hot Country Songs. First was "You Proof", whose ten-week run at number one on Country Airplay set a new record for the longest time spent at that position. It also became the first song ever to return to the number one position twice after falling down the charts. "Thought You Should Know" and "Last Night" were the other two singles to top the country charts from this album, with the latter also becoming Wallen's first number one on the Billboard Hot 100. The song held that position for sixteen weeks, the second-longest run at that position by a solo artist.

Morgan Wallen slams release of early music without his consent


Country music star Morgan Wallen criticizes his former music label Panacea Records for releasing his decade-old music without his permission and against his wishes. Wallen reacts by releasing his own re-recording of his hit song 'Spin Me Around' and donates $100,000 to an arts program. This incident draws parallels to Taylor Swift's ongoing dispute with her former record label and her decision to re-record her early albums.
