Post Malone's country music turn F-1 Trillion has debuted at the top of the Billboard 200 albums chart.
This is only the second album to knock Swift's 11th studio album The Tortured Poets Department (TTPD) off its perch since April. The other was Eminem's The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) in June. The rapper's album then fell from the top spot, with TTPD regaining pole position the following week.
Led by the Morgan Wallen-featured single "I Had Some Help" and the Blake Shelton collab "Pour Me A Drink," Malone's album notched the second-biggest debut for a country album in 2024, behind Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter.
Malone (real name Austin Post) collaborated with Swift on TTPD's opening track, Fortnight. Swift praised Malone's new album after he played it for her on the set of the Fortnight music video, in which they both star.
"Was lucky enough to hear this amazing music on the set of the Fortnight video when Austin played it for me," Swift shared via her Instagram Story earlier this month, alongside a behind-the-scenes photo of the pair. "It's incredible how versatile his artistry is. And just the most down-to-earth guy alive."
Malone was equally effusive about Swift after their collaboration, saying she was a "once in a lifetime" talent.
"I am floored by your heart and your mind, and I am beyond honoured to have been asked to help you with your journey," he shared. "I love you so much. Thank you Tay."
