Post Malone Brings Country to Coachella — And Plans to Stay in the Saddle for His Next Album

When Post Malone released F-1 Trillion last year, he conquered yet another genre with the country collab album. And it looks like he’s going back to that well on his next project.

On the new Pop Shop Podcast, Katie & Keith are joined by Billboard deputy editor Lyndsey Havens to discuss Post’s Sunday headlining set at Coachella as well as Havens’ interview with the superstar in the desert about what’s next. Post told Lyndsey that he’s already made two trips to Nashville and that he and his collaborators “just have fun. We just sit and f—ing talk and make songs. And so I’m pretty excited for the new record already.”

Listen to our full conversation with Lyndsey below:

Also on the show, we’ve chart news on how Elton John and Brandi Carlile team up for a top 10 debut on the Billboard 200 with Who Believes In Angels?, how the vinyl release of a Ethel Cain’s 2022 album Preacher’s Daughter brings the set onto the Billboard 200 for the first time (and straight into the top 10), and how the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart gets shaken up by a couple of new arrivals to the region.

Plus, we continue our Coachella chat with a discussion around whether Green Day or Charli xcx should have headlined day 2, after Charli sported a “Miss Should Be Headliner” sash at an afterparty.
