Post Malone’s Country Album Tops Charts While Old Hits Make a Comeback
Wafricnews - June 15, 2025
While Post Malone is currently blazing a new trail through country music with his chart-topping album F-1 Trillion, his fans are reminding the world that his musical roots still run deep in hip-hop.
The American superstar, known for his genre-blending talent, is on a successful stadium tour across the U.S. to promote his debut country album. The bold switch in sound has proven to be a masterstroke, with F-1 Trillion earning him a return to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and landing him fresh Grammy nods.
Yet, even as Malone dons cowboy boots and twangs his way across the stage, the streets haven’t forgotten the era that made him a global sensation.
His 2019 album Hollywood’s Bleeding has staged a surprise comeback, re-entering multiple Billboard charts this week after a period of silence. The project now sits comfortably at No. 10 on the Top Rap Albums chart, No. 16 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, and No. 67 on the Billboard 200.
This is no small feat for a body of work released nearly five years ago. Hollywood’s Bleeding was a cultural moment when it dropped — birthing hits like "Wow," "Take What You Want" featuring rock icon Ozzy Osbourne and Travis Scott, and "Circles," which remains Malone’s longest-charting single on the Billboard Hot 100.
Despite the country reinvention, the numbers tell a different story: fans are still streaming and celebrating the sound that first made Post Malone a household name. Whether it’s cowboy hats or face tats, one thing is clear — Posty’s influence stretches far beyond any one genre.
As Africa and the world witness his ever-evolving artistry, many are asking: what era will Post conquer next?
