His 2021 album *Dangerous: The Double Album* was a major hit, and in 2022, he released *One Thing at a Time*, a 36-track album that debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. This album produced multiple top 10 hits simultaneously on the Billboard Hot 100, including "Last Night," which reached number one.

In addition to his musical achievements, Wallen has received prestigious awards, including the Academy of Country Music Award for Male Artist of the Year in 2023 and multiple nominations from the Country Music Association Awards the same year[1][2]. Beyond music, Wallen founded the Morgan Wallen Foundation in 2021, which supports youth access to music and sports programs, reflecting the importance of these activities in his own upbringing. The foundation has contributed to rehabilitating sports facilities and addressing food insecurity during his tours[3]. As of early 2025, Wallen's net worth is estimated at approximately $35 million. Despite challenges, including a vocal injury during his 2023 world tour, he remains a prominent figure in contemporary country music[1].
