Morgan Wallen Won't Submit His No. 1 Album To The Grammys This Year

The country singer has never received a Grammy nomination for any work on his solo albums.

Country singer Morgan Wallen won’t submit his latest album, “I’m the Problem,” for Grammy consideration.

The album, which was released in May and features duets with Tate McRae, Eric Church and Post Malone, was a commercial success, debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. But the critical reception was mixed, with Rolling Stone giving the album three out of five stars.

Billboard and Hits Daily Double were the first to report on Wallen’s decision to not submit the album for the awards.

Wallen, who released his debut album in 2018, has only been recognized by the Recording Academy, which hosts the Grammy Awards, twice — neither time for his own songs. He received nominations for Best Country Song and Country Duo/Group Performance, both for his features on Post Malone songs.

It’s unclear why Wallen isn’t submitting his work to the Grammys and his reps did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but other artists have boycotted the Grammys in the past, including Drake and The Weeknd, who have both been critical of the voting process. The Weeknd broke his boycott in February, when he performed at the Grammys. Before his performance, Harvey Mason Jr., the CEO of the Recording Academy, said in a speech that he listened to The Weeknd’s criticism and redid the Grammys voting body, making it more diverse.
