This marks his sixth overall top 10, and third number 1 on the chart, which ranks the most popular albums in the U.S. weekly. All data is based on multi-metric consumption measured in equivalent album units which are compiled by music data company, Luminate.
According to the data, F-1 Trillion debuted with 250,000 equivalent album units earned which is the second-largest this year for any Country album. He’s beat only by Beyoncè’s debut Country album, Cowboy Carter — which Post has a feature on — and earned 407,000 units in its first week.
F-1 Trillion dropped August 16 and initially gained the attention of millions of Country fans with jaw-dropping collaborations. Fifteen of the 18 tracks on the standard album were duets with some of the genre’s most iconic stars to some of its most-promising newcomers including Dolly Parton, Tim McGraw, Lainey Wilson, Luke Combs, Morgan Wallen and more.
While the collabs drew fans in, Post kept their attention with his own Country sound as he surprised them 12 hours following the original release with a deluxe version, F-1 Trillion - Long Bed that features nine, brand new songs that are all sung solo.
“Thank you to everyone involved in the making of this project,” Post shared on social media at the moment of the album’s release. “I am so honored to have worked with some of my favorite artists, writers, and friends… I have had the time of my life making this record, it’s something I’ve wanted to do for a long time, and I’m so excited for the opportunity to make it. Everyone keep expressing yourself, having fun, loving what you do, and loving each other. I love you more than I can say. Have a great night mofo’s, and I’ll see you soon.”
