WHO:

This year’s leading BBMAs male finalist, Morgan Wallen, will perform a can’t-miss hometown rendition of “98 Braves” on the “2023 Billboard Music Awards.” Former ‘98 Braves players will watch as Wallen takes the stage at the team’s current MLB home field, Truist Park, in Atlanta, Georgia in the midst of his sold-out U.S. tour. Wallen is up for 16 awards with 17 entries, including Top Artist, Top Male Artist, Top Billboard 200 Artist, and Top Hot 100 Artist. Wallen joins previously announced BBMA performers David Guetta and Bebe Rexha, KAROL G, NewJeans, and Peso Pluma.

Morgan Wallen Billboard Fast Facts:

• Wallen’s latest album One Thing At A Time spent 16 non-consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 — the most weeks atop the chart for any album since Adele’s “21” ruled for 24 non-consecutive weeks in 2011-12.
• One Thing’s smash single “Last Night” spent 16 non-consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 — the sole longest No. 1 run for a non-collaboration, and tying for the second-longest reign in the chart’s 65-year history.
• Meanwhile, his previous album, Dangerous: The Double Album, racked up 137 weeks in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 — the most of any album by a singular artist since the chart began publishing on a regular, weekly basis in 1956.

In January 2023, Wallen’s hit single “You Proof” spent its 10th and final week at No. 1 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart — the most weeks atop the list since the tally began in 1990. “You Proof,” first released as a stand-alone single, was later issued on the One Thing At A Time album.
