Country singer Morgan Wallen has continued to defy the critics after his album entitled “Dangerous: The Double Album” has apparently become the best selling album of 2021.
Country Singer Morgan Wallen Has Best Selling Album in 2021 Amid His Racial Slur Scandal
According to reports, the album has sold around three million copies. This is truly remarkable in light of everything that Morgan has been through.
He was infamously involved in a racial scandal, in which a video of him emerged that showed him using racial slurs while he was hanging out with some friends. Things had gotten so bad that he had used a lot of profanities including the N-word.
Although he did hold his hands up in the aftermath of the incident, the very fact of the matter is that he was banned from the CMA Awards despite being up for best album of the year.
In a statement the time, he had remarked: “I’m embarrassed and sorry. I used an unacceptable and inappropriate racial slur that I wish I could take back.
“There are no excuses to use this type of language, ever. I want to sincerely apologise for using the word. I promise to do better.”
What was more impressive was that this accomplishment had been achieved on the back end of Morgan being dropped by his record label, as well as being banned from the radio show ‘iHeartRadio.’
Although there are no plans in the pipeline for him to go back to the record label, if his music continues to sell out like this, then the possibility of him becoming a mainstream star once again is possible for the following reasons.
First of all, it would demonstrate that he has a die-hard fanbase. As such, any scandals would only go on to increase his record sales.
Secondly, in any event, it demonstrates that Morgan is able to hold his own at a time where the pandemic has disrupted the usual flow of things such as performing at venues.
What this story has illustrated is that Morgan is still as popular as he was before. And that is not going to change anytime soon as the scandal has only increased his marketability.
