The project tops several Billboard charts
Post Malone is making waves with his 18-track debut country album, F-1 Trillion, and its 27-song digital deluxe companion, F-1 Trillion: Long Bed. The projects — calculated as one — land atop several Billboard charts, including the Top 200, Top Country Albums, Top Streaming Albums, and Top Album Sales.
Billboard reports F-1 Trillion with 212.86 million on-demand streams and 80,000 pure sales, for a total of 250,000 equivalent album units earned in the US upon its release on August 16th, according to the chart-tracking company Luminate. It marks the second-largest week for any country album in 2024, behind Beyonce’s Cowboy Carter which opened in April with 407,000 units.
With the project, Malone captured his best week on vinyl with 25,000 sales across four variants. The project was also released on CD, cassette and amended and explicit digital versions.
Malone is the first artist to have No. 1 albums on Billboard’s Top Country, Rap, Rock, and Alternative Albums charts. His last No. 1 project was 2018’s Beerbongs & Bentleys which had a three-week reign.
The project was led by the record-breaking mega-smash “I Had Some Help” with Morgan Wallen, released in May. Upon release, it crash-landed at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, tallying “the highest weekly sales and streams since 2020.” It became Post’s sixth No. 1 and Wallen’s second No. 1. It has clinched the top spot on the Hot 100 for six consecutive weeks, emerging as “the longest-running number one song of 2024.” It took flight as “the first single to debut at No. 1 on both the Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard Hot Country Songs Chart and hold the top on each chart for three weeks to follow.”
The album’s follow-up releases, “Pour Me a Drink” featuring Blake Shelton and “Guy for That” with Luke Combs, both reached the top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 and the top 10 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart.
This fall, the nine-time diamond-certified Grammy Award-nominated global superstar will embark on his F-1 Trillion Tour, a momentous 23-show outing with stadium, festival, and amphitheater performances around the US. Produced by Live Nation, the 2024 outing kicks off on September 8th at Salt Lake City’s Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre, making stops at Fenway Park, Hersheypark Stadium, Credit One Stadium and more before wrapping up with two newly announced Texas dates in October.
