Post Malone has a lot going on right now, and the folks at CBS Sunday Morning figured it was interesting enough to give Malone a segment on yesterday’s (August 11) episode. During the conversation, Malone spoke about dealing with some labels placed on him early in his music career.
He was asked how it felt being called a “culture vulture” and “one-hit wonder” and he responded, “It sucked. I was a kid.” When asked how he dealt with it, Malone said with a laugh, “Drink a lot.” He added, “It’s hard not to [take it personally].”
He added of his music, “It’s not for the people who hate you. It’s for the people who love you and yourself.”
Elsewhere, the segment followed Malone as he and Luke Combs filmed a video for their collaboration “Guy For That.” Malone also spoke about how he has been received by the country music community as he prepares his new album F-1 Trillion, saying, “Everyone here was so accepting and kind.”
Malone was also asked what first inspired him to want to play the guitar, and he said, “Guitar Hero, it was, 100 percent. And I was like, ‘Alright, well, let me get a real guitar and see if it translates. And it did not!”
Post Malone is an artist who is always adapting his style. He’s not afraid to explore what he can do, and that mindset is allowing him to dip his toes into the country space. In just a few days, August 16 to be exact, the Texas singer and songwriter will be delivering his sixth studio project, F-1 Trillion. The 18-song set will consist of numerous collaborations and duets with some of the most widely recognized stars in the genre. Luke Combs, Blake Shelton, Dolly Parton, Jelly Roll, and Lainey Wilson are just a few to rattle off.
However, Post Malone doing this throughout his nearly decade-long run in the industry has been met with some backlash. That was seemingly the case, especially when broke into the hip-hop scene in middle 2010s with “White Iverson”. According to XXL, Malone spoke with CBS Sunday Morning during the recent filming for the music video for “Guy For That”. During his conversation with Anthony Mason, they reflected on what it was like for him to explode into what can be an unforgiving genre.
Posty says that he was dealing with a lot of “culture vulture” and “one-hit wonder” accusations. He revealed that it took a hefty mental toll, and it didn’t help that he was so young (early 20s). “It sucked. I was a kid”. He leaned on drinking heavily to numb the pain he was dealing with, but even then, “It’s hard not to [take it personal]”, Malone admitted. However, him continuing to create music helped him push through and become the chameleon-like superstar we know him for being today.
What are your thoughts on Post Malone revealing that drinking was his way of dealing with being called a “culture vulture” and more? Were you of this mindset back when he first appeared in the hip-hop scene? Is this next album, F-1 Trillion, going to be his most successful crossover record yet? Is Post genuinely one of the most easy-to-like people in music? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

On Tuesday, Post Malone and Bud Light took over Nashville’s Marathon Music Works for ‘A Night in Nashville’, an exclusive, one-night-only event. The 9x RIAA diamond-certified, GRAMMY® Award-nominated artist performed songs from his highly-anticipated F-1 Trillion album to an intimate crowd. This special event gave fans a sneak peek of the album ahead of its full release on August 16th. The evening was a unique blend of music and celebration, highlighting Post Malone’s new work and his ongoing partnership with Bud Light.
“I love that song. It’s like the hit of the summer. When they play that jam, I’m jamming.”
Those are the words of tennis icon Serena Williams, speaking during a panel at Essence Festival this past weekend. She was talking about Kendrick Lamar’s Drake diss “Not Like Us,” but Williams’ crowning of the tune begs the question: What is the “Song Of The Summer” for 2024?
It’s an unofficial distinction (well, Billboard has an official chart for it now) that annually carries some cultural weight. It’s also just a fun thing to think and debate about midway through the year. Technically, we’re only just at the start of summer, as the season officially runs from June 20 to September 22. There’s still so much summer left, so instead of handing out the title now, let’s look at the leading candidates at the moment, making the case for (and against) some of the most obvious contenders.
Kendrick Lamar — “Not Like Us”
The argument for: “Not Like Us” has everybody talking, so much so that Serena Williams is publicly discussing it. Rick Ross got punched (allegedly) over it. The song has reached “referenced in local weather reports” status. Plain and simple, it’s a mainstream hit.
The argument against: The song came on so strong in early May that it’s safe to wonder if it has already peaked. (The song’s recent well-received video demonstrates the track’s staying power, though.) Also, given that the whole thing is a Drake diss, it’s just not very nice! (Some of the following arguments against other songs may be equally flimsy. These are all beloved hits, after all.)
Post Malone and Morgan Wallen — “I Had Some Help”
The argument for: The longest-running No. 1 song on the Hot 100 of the year so far? It’s “I Had Some Help.” Pair that with the fact that this Malone and Wallen collab is currently the most visible crossover hit in the ongoing country music wave and it has a strong case.
The argument against: The main opposing force here is whether the song has enough juice on its own beyond the headline-making collaboration. Wallen and Post are two of music’s biggest stars and that certainly has helped the song’s trajectory. It’s hard to say if that will be enough to carry the tune through the hot months to come.
Shaboozey — “A Bar Song (Tipsy)”
The argument for: There’s something about country music that’s routinely perfect for summer, and just like Malone and Wallen’s single, “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” is landing at just the right time. It has had a gradual climb up the Hot 100 and as of yesterday, it’s his first-ever No. 1 single.
The argument against: The biggest reason to say “no” to this one has nothing to do with the song itself, but its competition. “A Bar Song” is fantastic, but it’s just going up against some heavy hitters that have demonstrated bigger and more sustained success. But, maybe its newfound No. 1 status is the start of a run of its own.
The argument against: “Million Dollar Baby,” with its April release date, is older than the aforementioned songs. Given that viral hits like this often have relatively short shelf lives, this one very well could be a relic of viral history soon, well before summer is up.
Tinashe — “Nasty”
The argument for: Tinashe got to flex on her former label a bit with this one: The song is originally from April, but it started going viral on TikTok in June. Consequently, it has become her biggest solo hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
The argument against: “Nasty” is really more of a viral hit than it is a chart hit so far: Despite its ubiquity online, it has yet to crack the top 40 on the Hot 100. “Nasty” could use some more reach before it truly enters the conversation.
Billie Eilish — “Birds Of A Feather”
The argument for: Billie is one of music’s favorite personalities, and she’s done it all by doing her own thing. She doesn’t chase radio-friendly hits, but that doesn’t mean she’s incapable of them. “Birds Of A Feather” is an example, a bit of romantic pop fun, and the people love when Billie gets a win.
The argument against: It’s still hard to tell the sort of staying power this one will have. It was only just released as a single last week, so at this point, predicting whether this will end up being the summer’s defining song would be a bold call.
Chappell Roan — “Good Luck, Babe!”
The argument for: Roan has been one of the year’s biggest breakout stars so far, so much so that it’s been challenging for her to handle. Leading the way is “Good Luck, Babe!,” which has swelled into her most significant hit to date.
The argument against: Chappell isn’t the most obvious of hit-makers. Sure, the song rules, but we’ve already seen one Kate Bush song top the charts this decade, it’s hard to imagine it happening again. So, who knows how much time this one has left in the summer sun. (It did just hit the Hot 100 top 10 for the first time yesterday, though.)
Sabrina Carpenter — “Espresso”
The argument for: Of course we had to mention “Espresso.” Carpenter was an emerging star before the caffeinated single, but the song absolutely took off and established Carpenter as a no-qualifier-necessary, S-T-A-R star. There’s also the fact that “Espresso” basically sounds like it was made to a summer smash, with its warm vibes and radio-friendly hook. Carpenter’s personality also just makes her a fun person to root for and listen to, which certainly works in favor of “Espresso.”
The argument against: Carpenter has moved onto pushing a new hit, “Please Please Please.” “Espresso” is still doing just about as well as the fresher single, though: “Please Please Please” had more Spotify streams in the US last week, but “Espresso” was No. 1 on the same chart globally. Ultimately, of all the songs on this list, “Espresso” may have the least working against it for “Song Of The Summer” consideration.
Every week, Billboard unveils the top 10 songs on the latest Hot 100 chart. The most recent rankings, for the chart dated July 13, are out now, so let’s run down who had this week’s biggest hits.
Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control” remains at No. 9 for the fourth consecutive week. The song peaked at No. 1 to end March, and it has charted for nearly 50 weeks total.
8. Benson Boone — “Beautiful Things”
Like Teddy Swims, Benson Boone remains at No. 8, and “Beautiful Things” previously peaked at No. 2 on the chart dated March 30.
7. Hozier — “Too Sweet”
Sorry, another week-to-week repeater.
6. Sabrina Carpenter — “Please Please Please”
Sabrina Carpenter landed his first-career No. 1 on the Hot 100 with “Please Please Please” on the chart dated June 29. Last week, “Please Please Please” slid to No. 5, and now, it’s at No. 6.
5. Tommy Richman — “Million Dollar Baby”
Richman’s “Million Dollar Baby” swapped places with Carpenter’s “Please Please Please” from last week.
4. Sabrina Carpenter — “Espresso”
How “Espresso” wasn’t Carpenter’s first-ever No. 1 is beyond me, but it’s steady at No. 4 week-over-week. Its peak was No. 3 on the chart dated June 22.
3. Kendrick Lamar — “Not Like Us”
Thank you, Drake. Kendrick Lamar hasn’t been this visible between album cycles in ages. Lamar’s ruthless Drake diss track debuted at No. 1 on the Hot 100 chart dated May 18, and “Not Like Us” jumped from No. 6 to No. 3 last week. This week, it’s back at No. 3. The song isn’t going away anytime soon, as Lamar released the video on July 4.
2. Post Malone Feat. Morgan Wallen — “I Had Some Help”
At last! Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” has steadily climbed the Hot 100 since its April arrival. The unbelievably catchy country-pop tune leapfrogged from No. 3 (chart dated June 29) to No. 2 (July 6) and now, finally, No. 1. This is Shaboozey’s first-career No. 1 on the Hot 100.
According to Billboard, Shaboozey is now the first-ever Black male artist “to top both the Hot 100 and Hot Country Songs” and second Black artist overall behind only Beyoncé. The publication also relayed “A Bar Song (Tipsy) is the first song ever to chart in the top 10 across Country Airplay, Pop Airplay, Adult Pop Airplay, and Rhythmic Airplay. TLDR: It’s everywhere.
Militarie Gun is taking their signature “ooh ooh” to the ring.
The Los Angeles-based punk band, who released one of the best albums of 2023, provided a new lyric-free song as Post Malone‘s entrance music for the WWE 2K24 video game. “Gun Under The Gun (MFG)” has the trademarks of a Militarie Gun stomper, including a killer riff and, yes, a “ooh ooh.”
You can listen to the song above, and watch Post Malone’s entrance video below.
“I focused on finding iconic elements and figuring out how to make it my own. A wrestling intro needs to start big and iconic, get more aggressive, and then go heavier. That’s how the song ended up — starting big and spacey, then more aggressive, and finally half-time for a total beatdown,” he said. “It’s such a strange crossover and an even stranger song to accompany such a crossover. It’s a very fun thing to put out into the world and see what people think.”
As for why Malone didn’t use one of his own songs as his entrance music, Shelton thinks it’s because “he wanted something that sounded like a wrestling intro, something aggressive, which his own catalog doesn’t necessarily have. He gave us the shot because he believes in us.” Maybe Militarie Gun can join him on the F-1 Trillion Tour?
9x diamond-certified GRAMMY® Award-nominated global superstar Post Malone has announced his F-1 Trillion Tour, a momentous 21-show outing featuring stadium, festival, and amphitheater performances across the U.S.
Last week, Post Malone released “Pour Me A Drink” featuring Blake Shelton, and announced that his debut country album, F-1 Trillion, will drop on August 16th. The album’s first single, “I Had Some Help” with Morgan Wallen, dominates the charts. Upon release, it crash-landed at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, tallying “the highest weekly sales and streams since 2020,” and remained at #1 for five consecutive weeks, becoming “the longest-running number one song of 2024.”
The F-1 Trillion Tour follows Post Malone’s highly successful ‘If Y’all Weren’t Here, I’d Be Crying’ run last year, which spanned the US and Canada. Produced by Live Nation, the 2024 outing kicks off on September 8 at Salt Lake City’s Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre, with stops at iconic venues like Fenway Park, Hersheypark Stadium, and Credit One Stadium before wrapping up in Nashville at Nissan Stadium on October 19.
Post Malone shared his excitement, saying, “I love y’all so very much and I’m so excited to get out and play new music for you.”
Tickets will be available starting with a Citi presale beginning Wednesday, June 26 at 10 am local time. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general onsale beginning Monday, July 1 at 10 am local time on livenation.com. Citi is the official card of the Post Malone tour, offering cardmembers presale access from June 26 to June 30 through the Citi Entertainment program.
The tour will also feature various VIP packages and experiences, including premium tickets, a pre-show VIP Lounge, and exclusive VIP gifts. For more information, visit vipnation.com.

Typewriter appreciator Post Malone is a full-blown country singer now: His recent Morgan Wallen collaboration “I Had Some Help” was a No. 1 single, and he just linked up with Blake Shelton on “Pour Me A Drink.” Now, he’s taking his newly twangy self on the road: Today (June 25), he announced the F-1 Trillion Tour.
