As we roll out our 2024 Nashville Special, nothing summarizes the power of country music in the mainstream like Morgan Wallen, whose One Thing at a Time was the #1 album of 2023 and continues to rule the chart and earn billions of streams; it’s currently approaching 6.6m ATD. (His 2021 set, Dangerous: The Double Album, is at 9.2m ATD and keeps racking up big numbers.) Seth England and his Big Loud team have reshaped the landscape with their breakout superstar (in partnership with Mercury/Republic) and have also made big inroads with HARDY and ERNEST, among other acts, with Stem as distributor. But this HITS contents-page shoutout is one Thing Seth has no Time for.
