Post Malone’s Country Era Continues — But Fans Haven’t Forgotten His Musical Roots

Post Malone has spent the past year promoting his first country album, F-1 Trillion. The set was a daring move by the musician, who had previously found great commercial success with both hip-hop and pop — and to a lesser extent, rock and alternative music – and it paid off brilliantly. F-1 Trillion not only brought him back to No. 1 on the Billboard 200, but it also produced multiple smash singles and earned him new Grammy nominations.

As he continues to travel across the United States on his stadium tour in support of the country effort, one of his earlier career projects – which doesn’t sound much like his current album – is enjoying a surprising resurgence.

Hollywood’s Bleeding Makes a Comeback

Hollywood’s Bleeding, Malone’s third full-length, breaks back onto multiple Billboard charts this week. The set didn’t appear on any ranking in America just a few days ago, and now it lives on a trio of tallies.

At the moment, Hollywood’s Bleeding sits at No. 10 on the Top Rap Albums chart. The project can also be found at No. 16 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums list and No. 67 on the Billboard 200.

In the past, Hollywood’s Bleeding has led the charge on all three of these rankings. It long ago passed 200 weeks on each and every one of them, though it hasn’t been seen in a little while.

Since 2019

Malone released Hollywood’s Bleeding in September 2019, at the height of his fame. By that point, he had already been pushing singles from the project for nine months, starting with “Wow” in December 2018. The project produced follow-up smashes like “Take What You Want” with Ozzy Osbourne and Travis Scott, and “Circles,” which remains his longest-running success on the Hot 100 to this day.

Post Malone’s Tour Setlist

There’s been some excitement around Hollywood’s Bleeding recently, as Malone includes the title track in his stadium tour setlist. Fans on social media seem to be thrilled about his decision to perform the album cut, as it was never chosen as a proper single, even though it peaked at No. 15 on the Hot 100.

Post Malone’s Genre-Bending Success Continues

The diverse range of sonic styles that Malone has tried his hand at throughout the years is on full display on the Billboard charts this week. Four of his albums are currently present across various rankings, and he appears inside the top 10 on both the Top Rap Albums and Top Country Albums tallies, where F-1 Trillion holds at No. 5, 42 weeks into its tenure on that list.
