Post Malone Announces Highly Anticipated New Album 'F-1 Trillion' Set for August Release

stayc main image

Post Malone is currently riding a wave of success, standing at the pinnacle of the Billboard Hot 100 with his Morgan Wallen duet "I Had Some Help." In an exciting development, he has announced the release of his upcoming album, "F-1 Trillion," slated for August 16. The announcement came in a unique fashion, via a billboard in Nashville, a city that has recently become a significant hub for Post Malone's musical endeavors.

"F-1 Trillion" will be Post Malone's sixth studio album, following the 2023 release of "Austin." This new album marks another chapter in his continuously evolving career, which has seen him explore various musical genres and styles. Currently, Post Malone is enjoying significant success with "I Had Some Help," which has spent five weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100. This collaboration with Morgan Wallen highlights his ability to blend seamlessly into the country music scene, a genre he has been increasingly associated with.

While the official track list for "F-1 Trillion" has yet to be revealed, it is widely expected to have a country music influence. Post Malone's recent collaborations and performances suggest a deepening commitment to the genre. He teamed up with Blake Shelton for the song "Pour Me a Drink" and delivered a memorable performance at the Academy of Country Music Awards in May, showcasing a song titled "Never Love You Again," which is presumed to be part of the upcoming album. His participation in the country music festival Stagecoach further cements his burgeoning reputation in the country music community.

The announcement of "F-1 Trillion" came hot on the heels of Post Malone's intimate performance at Nashville’s Bluebird Cafe. On June 17, he was joined by Lainey Wilson, Ernest, and multi-hit songwriter Ashley Gorley for an industry-only writers' round at this renowned songwriters' venue. During this in-the-round acoustic set, Post Malone performed a variety of songs, including fan favorites like "Circles," "Sunflower," and his current hit "I Had Some Help." He also collaborated with Wilson and Ernest on several tracks, closing the set with a rendition of George Jones’ classic “If Drinkin’ Don’t Kill Me (Her Memory Will).”

Post Malone’s career trajectory has been nothing short of meteoric since his breakout hit "White Iverson" in 2015, which reached No. 15 on the Hot 100. He scored his first No. 1 hit on the Hot 100 with "Rockstar," featuring 21 Savage, which stayed at the top for eight weeks. Since then, he has had a total of six songs reach the No. 1 spot on the Hot 100, solidifying his status as a versatile and influential artist.

As the anticipation builds for "F-1 Trillion," fans and critics alike are eager to see what Post Malone will deliver with this latest project. His ability to transcend genres and collaborate with a diverse array of artists has kept his music fresh and his audience growing. The forthcoming album promises to be another milestone in a career that has already achieved so much, reflecting Post Malone's continuous evolution as an artist and his knack for staying relevant in the ever-changing music industry.

With the release date set and the excitement palpable, "F-1 Trillion" is poised to make a significant impact on the music scene. Whether you're a longtime fan or a newcomer to his music, this album is sure to offer something for everyone, blending Post Malone's unique style with the rich traditions of country music. As August 16 approaches, the music world waits with bated breath to see the next phase of Post Malone’s extraordinary journey unfold.
