He started in hip-hop and rap, then moved seamlessly into pop, and at one point even dabbled with both rock and alternative sounds. F-1 Trillion, Malone\u2019s most recent full-length, fits perfectly under the country label, and while it was a creative risk, the set immediately turned him into a hitmaker in that field. <\/p>\n<p>One thing has remained constant throughout all of Malone\u2019s eras and genre change-ups, and that is commercial success. The superstar is responsible for a number of the biggest songs of the past decade or so, and many of them are included on his career-spanning compilation, The Diamond Collection. <\/p>\n<p>Malone released the project more than two years ago to celebrate his many diamond-certified songs, and it has performed well ever since. This week, as The Diamond Collection rises on the Billboard charts, the compilation returns to a familiar position \u2013 one which must be both exciting and also frustrating for the singer-songwriter.<\/p>\n<p>The Diamond Collection Returns to Its All-Time Billboard 200 High<\/p>\n<p>AUSTIN, TEXAS &#8211; MARCH 08: Post Malone attends the &#8220;Road House&#8221; World Premiere during SXSW at The Paramount Theater on March 08, 2024 in Austin, Texas. (Photo by Greg Doherty\/Getty Images for Amazon MGM Studios)<\/p>\n<p>Getty Images for Amazon MGM Studios<\/p>\n<p>The Diamond Collection leaps three spaces north on the Billboard 200, improving its standing to No. 11 on Billboard\u2019s namesake ranking of the 200 most-consumed albums, EPs, and compilations in the United States. No. 11 is the highest that The Diamond Collection has ever climbed on the Billboard 200, and the set returns to its loftiest position yet.<\/p>\n<p>Post Malone Falls Just Short of a New Top 10 Album<\/p>\n<p>Whenever an artist sees a piece of music hit its previously set peak, that performance shows that the audience is still tuning in and loving the work. In Malone\u2019s case this week, however, The Diamond Collection\u2019s surge must be a bit frustrating, as the hugely popular compilation misses out on adding to his list of top 10 successes on the Billboard 200 for at least the second time.<\/p>\n<p>The Diamond Collection Nears Two Years on the Billboard 200<\/p>\n<p>Next week, The Diamond Collection will celebrate two years on the Billboard 200, as the set reaches 103 weeks. This time around, in just a few days, the album will become Malone\u2019s fourth to rack up at least two full years on the ranking \u2013 and yet it keeps missing the top 10 by just one slot.<\/p>\n<p>How Many Post Malone Albums Have Hit the Top 10?<\/p>\n<p>NEW YORK, NEW YORK &#8211; DECEMBER 31: Post Malone performs during the Times Square New Year&#8217;s Eve 2020 Celebration on December 31, 2019 in New York City. (Photo by Noam Galai\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<p>Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>Of the eight projects Malone has placed on the Billboard 200, only two have failed to spend time inside the top 10. The Diamond Collection is the more successful of the bunch, while the multi-genre powerhouse\u2019s Tribute to Nirvana debuted at No. 106 last April and then immediately disappeared.<\/p>\n<p>Beerbongs &amp; Bentleys Leads Post Malone\u2019s Run of No. 1s<\/p>\n<p>Counted among Malone\u2019s half-dozen top 10s on the Billboard 200 are three No. 1s. Beerbongs &amp; Bentleys, Hollywood\u2019s Bleeding, and F-1 Trillion all led the charge for varying lengths of time. Another pair, Twelve Carat Toothache and Austin, missed the summit by just one space, while Stoney, which turned Malone into a household name and a certified hitmaker, peaked at No. 4.<\/p>\n<p>The Diamond Collection Sits at Its Chart Peak on Every Tally<\/p>\n<p>This week, The Diamond Collection appears on four Billboard charts, and it sits at its all-time high point on each and every one of them. As it improves to No. 11 on the Billboard 200, the compilation also lifts to that same position on the Top Streaming Albums ranking, pushing up just one spot. <\/p>\n<p>LONDON, ENGLAND &#8211; JULY 06: (EDITORIAL USE ONLY) Post Malone performs on the Main Stage on Day 1 of Wireless Festival 2018 at Finsbury Park on July 6, 2018 in London, England. (Photo by Tabatha Fireman\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<p>Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>The Diamond Collection is a top 10 success on both the Top Rap Albums and Top R&amp;B\/Hip-Hop Albums charts at the moment. Malone once more claims the most successful rap release in America, while The Diamond Collection is yet again forced to settle for second place on the Top R&amp;B\/Hip-Hop Albums roster, where it has never managed to rule.<\/p>\n<p>F-1 Trillion Surges Back Into the Top 10 on the Country Chart<\/p>\n<p>Malone claims two top-performing full-lengths in the U.S. this period. While The Diamond Collection makes a home on four rosters, F-1 Trillion ascends on just two. Malone\u2019s first country project gallops back into the top 10 on the Top Country Albums ranking, landing at No. 10, while surging from No. 100 to No. 86 on the Billboard 200.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WEST HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA &#8211; DECEMBER 05: Post Malone arrives at the 2019 GQ Men Of The Year event&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":419233,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[49,48,75,175914,341,175910,175907,175908,175905,175913,175912,175911,175906,175909],"class_list":{"0":"post-419232","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-f-1-trillion-post-malone-country-album","12":"tag-music","13":"tag-post-malone-billboard-chart-performance","14":"tag-post-malone-compilation-album-charts","15":"tag-post-malone-diamond-songs-album","16":"tag-post-malone-the-diamond-collection","17":"tag-post-malone-top-rb-hip-hop-albums","18":"tag-post-malone-top-rap-albums","19":"tag-post-malone-top-streaming-albums","20":"tag-the-diamond-collection-billboard-200","21":"tag-the-diamond-collection-career-high"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/419232","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=419232"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/419232\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/419233"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=419232"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=419232"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=419232"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
