Target apparently leaked a bunch of major information on Post Malone’s upcoming album Friday, and if these rumors are true, we’re in for a freaking treat.
We already know Post Malone will probably end up with either the No. 1 or No. 2 song of the summer in 2024 thanks to his insanely popular collaboration with Morgan Wallen on “I Had Some Help.” The song already scored Wallen his first-ever No. 1 on the pop charts, according to Billboard. So, what else does Malone have up his sleeve for the rest of his “F-1 Trillion” album?
A photograph posted to Target’s website reportedly showed the vinyl listening, which included a number of the artists Malone has secretly been working with, Billboard wrote in another article. Along with Wallen, HARDY, Blake Shelton, and Luke Combs, Malone is working with a whole host of the biggest names in country music.

To me, this list screams: we have a new brand of A-listers, and they ain’t from no private-gated coastal communities. America’s real royalty is not the Kardashians but the friends and neighbors who make up most of the bar names down Broadway in Nashville, Tennessee. Why?

Well, I heard a woman say this weekend that Millennials are the first generation with access to everything, but the last generation before Google, cell phones and social media. Having lived with both everything and nothing at our fingertips, we’ve realized that having lots of stuff doesn’t make us happy.

Yet 99% of mainstream music feels like it is designed to sell us stuff we don’t want or need. Country music does the opposite: it is the simple soundtrack to our lifestyles, and that is why it reigns supreme today.
Post Malone’s album drops in full on August 16.
