Tate McRae's new collaboration with Morgan Wallen is a hit on the charts.

Their song "What I Want" has debuted at No. 2 on the Canadian Hot 100 on this week's chart dated May 31. While it enters just shy of the top spot, still behind Alex Warren's "Ordinary" in Canada, it debuts at No. 1 on the U.S. Hot 100, becoming McRae's first-ever No. 1 on the American chart.


She has previously hit No. 1 in her home country of Canada with "Greedy," which reached No. 1 on the Canadian Hot 100 back in 2023. Her recent single "Sports Car" peaked at No. 9 and currently sits at No. 14 on the Canadian chart.

Chart Rewind: In 1986, Anne Murray’s Fellow Canadians Cemented Her ‘Forever’ Legacy

The smooth alto vocalist topped Hot Country Songs with "Now and Forever (You & Me)."

When Nova Scotia native Anne Murray attained the top spot on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart dated April 24, 1986, it marked the only time in her career that two noted Canadian producers, both from British Columbia, pitched in on the project.

David Foster (Kenny Rogers, Whitney Houston) guided just one cut on Murray’s 10-track Something To Talk About album, created from a melody he cowrote with Jim Vallance (Tina Turner, Glass Tiger), a frequent Bryan Adams cowriter. They mostly had just a topline and chords when they introduced it to Murray, who then called Nashville songwriter Randy Goodrum (Murray’s “You Needed Me,” Steve Perry’s “Oh Sherrie,” Toto’s “I’ll Be Over You”) to concoct some lyrics.
