Morgan Wallen’s “Love Somebody” Debuts At #1 On US Spotify Streaming Chart

“Love Somebody” flies to first place on the US listing.

Offering the “first taste of his upcoming project,” Morgan Wallen released “Love Somebody” to ample fanfare Friday.

The song, notably, ranked as the day’s most-streamed song on US Spotify.

“Love Somebody” specifically received 2,376,888 American streams on Friday, yielding the first-place finish on the US Spotify chart. It concurrently starts at #18 globally, courtesy of its 3,510,411 worldwide plays.

“Love Somebody” also had a colossal day at radio, scoring nearly 1,750 opening-day plays at Wallen’s core country format. It also received some Friday airplay at pop.

“‘Love Somebody’ is a little bit of a new approach lyrically and sonically,” says Wallen of the new song. “I wanted to try something different, with what I wanted to talk about, how I wanted it to sound, and we were inspired by Latin-leaning influences. I’m really excited about this song and pumped that it is out.”
