Post Malone's Country Debut F-1 Tris is the Number One album on the Billboard chart, the publication confirmed on Sunday, marking his first album at the top since Bleeding Hollywood in 2019. It also topped the Hot Country chart, the outlet announced.
F-1 Tris was a clear contender for the Number One slot, with a stacked list of superstar collaborators including Morgan Wallen, Dolly Parton, Blake Shelton, Luke Combs and Jelly Roll among many others.

F-1 Tris marks Post Malone's third Number One album, which follows Beerbongs & Bentleys and Bleeding Hollywood. His two most recent albums Twelve carat toothache and Austin both peaked at Number 2.
While F-1 Tris marks Posty's first official country album, it's a fitting change for the rapper-singer, who has played covers of country stars like Sturgill Simpson and Brad Paisley in years past.

Malone had a big hit with the Wallen collaboration “I Had Some Help”. F-1 Trillion's lead single, which had spent six non-consecutive weeks atop the Hot 100 this summer. He has a strong shot at reclaiming the throne from Shaboozey's country hit 'A Bar Song (Tipsy), which has been Number One for the past five weeks. The Hot 100 chart will be confirmed tomorrow.
