The achievement arrives just days after the album’s release on Friday and continues a remarkable stretch for the Texas-born singer-songwriter, whose popularity has expanded far beyond his roots in the Red Dirt and Texas country scene.
The Night Champion is Wetzel’s sixth studio album and follows 2024’s 9 Lives, a project that helped establish him as a mainstream country force. The new record features 11 tracks, including previously released songs “Hurts Like You,” “Time Goes On,” “Dollar and a Bottle” and “Surrounded.”

“The whole outlook on it was this kind of being the closing of a book instead of a chapter in the book,” Wetzel told People. “It was wrapping up everything from the Noise Complaint record and every record in between and all the stuff that went on in between to get to where we're at now.”
The album's rapid rise on Apple Music reflects strong fan interest that had been building for months.
View this post on Instagram“The long nights, man, all the bars that we played with nobody in them,” Wetzel recalled when discussing his early career. “Going almost a week without eating any food just because we didn't have any money and we were too proud to ask our parents to help out a little bit, things like that, sleeping on couches.”
The Apple Music chart success comes as Wetzel prepares to launch the U.S. and Canada leg of The Night Champion World Tour in July.
Fans can expect a setlist that blends new material from The Night Champion with many of Wetzel’s most recognizable songs. The performances are also expected to include “High Road,” his collaboration with Jessie Murph that became a crossover hit and one of the biggest songs of his career.
