Post Malone's country debut, "F-1 Trillion," is the No. 1 album in the United States. The sprawling 18-song collection — featuring everyone from Dolly Parton and Hank Williams Jr. to veterans Tim McGraw and Blake Shelton — has sold 250,000 equivalent album units, according to data research firm Luminate.

“F-1 Trillion” has been streamed 213 million times and sold 80,000 copies as a complete unit, with the deluxe reissue — an additional nine-song set dubbed the “Long Bed” edition — dropping on Aug. 16. The Texas native started out as a singer before becoming a rapper, and he previously scored two No. 1 albums with “Hollywood’s Bleeding” in 2019 and “Beerbongs & Bentleys” in 2018.

"F-1 Trillion" was preceded by the crossover hit "I Had Some Help," featuring Morgan Wallen. The latter is the latest Billboard Hot 100 single to reach No. 2 and was his first solo No. 1 on the Hot 100 chart since "Circles" in 2019. Post has been a fixture in the Top 10 of the Billboard chart for much of the year thanks to his work on two of the year's biggest albums: Beyoncé's "Cowboy Carter" and Taylor Swift's "The Tortured Poets Department."

Elsewhere, Chappell Roan’s “The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess” spends a second week at No. 2, selling 72,000 equivalent album units. Swift’s “Tortured Poets” sits at No. 3, while Wallen’s chart-topping album of 2023, “One Thing at a Time,” moves to No. 4 and Billie Eilish’s “Hit Me Hard and Soft” drops one spot to No. 5.
