In a dramatic pivot that has redefined the landscape of modern music, global icon Post Malone has solidified his status as a multi-genre phenomenon, with his country debut culminating in a groundbreaking collaboration with Luke Combs on the single “Guy For That.” The track is a highlight of Malone’s record-smashing debut country album, F-1 Trillion, which debuted in 2024.

This latest achievement is further magnified by the news that Post Malone has reportedly notched his record 10th Diamond-certified song with a total of ten individual tracks surpassing 10 million units sold, an unparalleled feat in RIAA history. This cements his legacy far beyond his original genre roots as the most decorated artist in RIAA Diamond history.

From Texas Trap to Nashville Twang: The F-1 Trillion Era

The journey for Austin Richard Post’s country debut was an immediate, chart-topping success. The foundation was laid by the lead single, “I Had Some Help,” featuring Morgan Wallen, which debuted at Number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. This track achieved the highest weekly sales and streams since 2020 and made history as the first single to simultaneously debut at the top of both the Hot 100 and the Hot Country Songs chart.

The full album, F-1 Trillion, released on August 16, 2024, immediately followed suit, proving the crossover had massive commercial appeal:

• Billboard 200 Debut: The album debuted at Number 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, marking Malone’s third album to reach the top spot.
• First-Week Success: It earned an impressive 250,000 album-equivalent units in its first week, a figure driven by a staggering 212.86 million on-demand streams from its tracks.
• Global Reach: The album’s success was not limited to the U.S., as it also topped the charts in Canada, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, and the United Kingdom, solidifying Malone’s influence as a truly global music icon across multiple genres.

The surprise collaboration “Guy For That”—celebrated with a playful official music video released on July 26, 2024—showcased Malone’s signature melodic vocals and genuine songwriting, peaking at Number 17 on the US Billboard Hot 100.
