Chris Stapleton & Post Malone released their collaboration on F-1 Trillion
In the lead-up to the release of Post Malone’s highly-anticipated country album F-1 Trillion earlier this year, he and Stapleton got fans buzzing with a teaser of their forthcoming duet. “California Sober” was officially released when the album dropped on August 16th.
F-1 Trillion immediately found success as it topped both the Billboard 200 and the Billboard Top Country Albums charts shortly after making its debut.
This rapid ascent was partly due to the all-star lineup of talented featured collaborators like Stapleton.
