After being canceled for saying the N-word outside of his home after a night of partying, the country singer Morgan Wallen has been removed from every major radio station in America, streaming platforms, suspended by his label Big Loud/Republic and more.

However, his most recent release Dangerous: The Double Album is performing better than ever with a noticeable spike in sales and streaming since the video surfaced. It seemed like the country artist would be in a pretty deep hole after being removed from major radio stations across America, curated playlists on steaming platforms like Apple/Spotify, SiriusXM, and Pandora dropping the singer entirely from their platform.
