In an exciting development for fans, Post Malone, whose foray into country music began with the release of F-1 Trillion last year, is gearing up to delve back into the genre for his next album.

During a recent episode of the Pop Shop Podcast, hosts Katie and Keith spoke with Billboard’s deputy editor Lyndsey Havens about Post’s headlining performance at Coachella. In an exclusive interview conducted during the festival, Post shared details about his creative process, mentioning two recent trips to Nashville. He expressed enthusiasm for his upcoming record, stating, “We just have fun. We just sit and talk and make songs. I’m pretty excited for the new record already.”

The podcast also covers significant chart news, including a collaboration between Elton John and Brandi Carlile, which has debuted in the top 10 on the Billboard 200 with their album Who Believes In Angels? Additionally, the vinyl release of Ethel Cain’s 2022 album, Preacher’s Daughter, marks its first entry into the Billboard 200, landing impressively within the top 10. The Billboard Hot 100 songs chart has also seen changes with new contenders breaking into the upper tier.
