In addition to hanging those stockings with care, Post Malone is going to have to make more room on his mantle for new hardware from the RIAA. The Recording Industry Association announced on Thursday (Dec. 12) that Malone’s star-packed debut country album, F-1 Trillion, has been certified Platinum (one million).
And that’s not all. In addition to scoring his latest Platinum album plaque, the album’s Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 single, “I Had Some Help” (feat. Morgan Wallen) — which spent six weeks atop the chart — was certified 5x Platinum, and his Blake Shelton collab, “Pour Me a Drink,” was certified Platinum.
Malone could pick up more trophies for F-1 Trillion at February’s 67th annual Grammy Awards, where he has seven nominations, including best country album and best recording package, as well as best country song and best country duo/group performance for “I Had Some Help.” He could also win some awards for his collaborations this year, including on “Fortnight” from Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department (best music video, record of the year, song of the year) and best pop duo/group performance for his team-up with Beyoncé on her Cowboy Carter tune “LEVII’s JEANS.”
Malone won’t have much time to celebrate, as he’s gearing up to headline the Bud Light Backyard Presents show at the Fillmore New Orleans on February 7, two days before the big game takes place at the Caesars Superdome in the Big Easy. The rapper/singer’s 2025 will also have him headlining a night at Coachella in April alongside Lady Gaga, Green Day and Travis Scott, as well as headlining the North American Big Ass Stadium tour with guest Jelly Roll next spring and summer.
