Summary Post Malone’s 'F-1 Trillion' reaches exactly two years on both the Billboard 200 and Top Country Albums charts, celebrating 104 weeks on each ranking. The former No. 1 sits at No. 87 on the Billboard 200 and No. 18 on the country tally. It is Malone’s first 100-week success on the latter and his fifth album to spend at least two years on the Billboard 200.
What exactly the future holds for Post Malone is not clear. The singer-songwriter could go in almost any direction with his next chapter, as he has already shown that he is willing – and seemingly even eager – to switch genres and try something entirely new.
Malone pivoted in 2024, moving away from the hip-hop and pop that made him a superstar and embraced country music. He was ahead of the curve, as many other well-known acts have tried something similar in the years since his shift was successful.
His debut solo album F-1 Trillion debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and produced several smashes, including the Billboard Hot 100 champion “I Had Some Help” with Morgan Wallen. Since then, the set has largely remained on a handful of Billboard rosters, though much of the attention surrounding Malone’s catalog is focused on The Diamond Collection , which gathers many of his biggest hits and thus is regularly a streaming smash.
This frame, F-1 Trillion celebrates the exact same milestone on both of the Billboard charts where it can currently be found as it holds on for another week.
F-1 Trillion has now spent 104 weeks — exactly two years — on both the Billboard 200 and Top Country Albums charts . The collection lands at Nos. 18 and 87 on the Top Country Albums ranking and the Billboard 200, respectively.
F-1 Trillion has previously reached No. 1 on the two lists. This week, it holds steady on the country-focused roster while slipping nine spaces on the Billboard 200.
F-1 Trillion is Malone’s first release to reach any 100-week milestone on the Top Country Albums chart, since it is his only project to appear on the genre-specific ranking.
Over on the style-agnostic Billboard 200, the country full-length becomes the Grammy nominee’s fifth release to spend at least two years somewhere on the tally. His longest-charting effort remains Stoney , the album that helped turn him into a household name nearly a decade ago. That project has accumulated 361 weeks somewhere on the Billboard 200.
Beerbongs & Bentleys follows within Malone’s discography with 318 frames on the roster, while Hollywood’s Bleeding recently celebrated 250 weeks. The Diamond Collection has already pushed past the two-year mark, as the collection claims 134 stays on the roster.
Only three of Malone’s eight albums that have appeared on the Billboard 200 have failed to reach 104 weeks. Twelve Carat Toothache , which peaked at No. 2, spent 62 frames on the ranking. Austin , another runner-up, held on for 29. Tribute to Nirvana , which saw Malone putting his own spin on classics by the legendary grunge band, debuted at No. 106 last April and has not been seen on the Billboard 200 since.
The Diamond Collection remains Malone’s biggest multi-chart success on the Billboard rankings this week. The compilation appears on the Top Rap Albums, Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and Top Streaming Albums charts and the Billboard 200, settling in at Nos. 3, 6, 12 and 19, respectively.
The Diamond Collection falls on all four rosters on which it lands. The singles project manages to live inside the top 10 on half of them, though it slips outside that region on the Top Streaming Albums ranking after sitting at No. 10 last frame. Notably, the compilation has spent at least 100 weeks on all four tallies.
The continued success of The Diamond Collection – which is built entirely around the singer’s most popular singles – might make it seem as though Malone would have many individual songs on the Billboard charts, but only two currently appear.
“I Had Some Help” with Wallen lands on the Country Streaming Songs chart and the Billboard Global 200, coming in at Nos. 11 and 143, respectively. The former No. 1 slips outside the top 10 on the country streaming roster by only one space, but it will likely find its way back into that tier.
“Sunflower (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse)” with Swae Lee is moving in the opposite direction. The longtime favorite rises on all four rosters where it appears – the Rap Streaming Songs and R&B/Hip-Hop Streaming Songs charts, Billboard Global Excl. U.S. and Billboard Global 200. More than seven years after it was released and became a blockbuster, “Sunflower” remains a top 40 hit everywhere.
