Data Insight

Dangerous: The Double Album is a sprawling 30-track set that Morgan Wallen built with a deep bench of Nashville songwriters rather than writing alone. Wallen has a co-writing credit on a large share of the record, including the country-pop ballad "Wasted on You" and the redemption-tinged title cut, while leaning on rooms full of hitmakers like Ashley Gorley, Ernest Keith Smith, and Josh Osborne for the rest. The biggest songs show that split clearly: "7 Summers" was written with Smith and Ryan Vojtesak, and the opener "Sand in My Boots" came entirely from Gorley, Michael Hardy, and Osborne with no Wallen credit at all. The result is a producer-and-writer ecosystem, anchored by Joey Moi, that pairs Wallen's own confessional cuts with outside-written radio singles across two discs.

Dangerous: The Double Album is Morgan Wallen's second studio album, released January 8, 2021. The 30-track double album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and remained there for its first seven consecutive weeks, setting a record for country albums. It produced multiple hit singles including 'Wasted on You,' '7 Summers,' and 'Sand in My Boots,' and was certified 9× platinum by the RIAA. Despite a high-profile controversy around the time of release, the album sold at a historic pace and became one of the best-selling country albums of the decade.
