\n\tLast November, Post Malone stunned with his CMA Awards performance, for which he paid tribute to late revered country artist Joe Diffie alongside HARDY and Morgan Wallen. Later, backstage, he teased something many fans had long been hoping for: a country album of his own.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\tNow, that project has finally arrived. Titled F-1 Trillion<\/em>, Post\u2019s country debut, produced by Charlie Handsome and Louis Bell, features everyone from legends like Dolly Parton and Hank Williams Jr. to rising superstars Lainey Wilson and Jelly Roll \u2013 among many other stalwarts of the genre.<\/p>\n \n\tSince first teasing the album, Post has made a series of intentional and well-respected strides into the country community. He\u2019s performed at Nashville\u2019s famous Bluebird Cafe alongside Wilson and delivered a guest-heavy country covers set at Stagecoach this summer \u2013 emerging after his own performance to join headliner Morgan Wallen on stage for the live debut of their Hot 100 No. hit \u201cI Had Some Help,\u201d which served as the lead single for F-1 Trillion<\/em>. Two more heavy-hitter collaborations have followed: \u201cPour Me A Drink\u201d with Blake Shelton and \u201cGuy For That\u201d with Luke Combs.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tThis week, Post celebrated the album\u2019s release with a monumental show, making his Grand Ole Opry debut on Wednesday (Aug. 14), during which he welcomed several of the album\u2019s collaborators \u2013 including Wilson, Shelton and Brad Paisley.<\/p>\n \n\tEarlier this year, Post scored another No. 1 for his feature on Taylor Swift\u2019s \u201cFortnight.\u201d He also appeared on Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s country-inspired Cowboy Carter<\/em>, duetting on \u201cLEVII\u2019S JEANS.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tPost has charted 80 songs on the Hot 100, including six No. 1s. On the Billboard 200, all five of his albums have charted in the top five, including two No. 1s with 2018\u2019s beerbongs & bentleys <\/em>and 2019\u2019s pop-rock leaning Hollywood\u2019s Bleeding<\/em>. So far, he has released an album every year since 2022, beginning with Twelve Carat Toothache<\/em>, followed by last year\u2019s Austin <\/em>and now F-1 Trillion.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n \n\tBelow is an early take on the best songs off the long-awaited country set.<\/p>\n
