Is Post Malone’s Upcoming Double Album Going To Be Country? All Signs Point To Yes
Post has been writing with some familiar faces once again.
Though there has been plenty of conversation and subsequent criticism over Post Malone’s venture into country music over the past few years, as time passes, it’s become clear that he’s here to stay in the genre for the foreseeable future. Of course, Post started his country music journey with 2024’s massive, 27-song album, F-1 Trillion, which called upon some of the biggest stars, ranging from Hank Williams Jr. and Dolly Parton to Luke Combs and Morgan Wallen to Sierra Ferrell and Billy Strings.
Despite the success of F-1 Trillion, Post has been all but radio-silent in terms of releases since then. Because of this, it’s led fans to speculate whether he would continue down his path in country music, return to his hip-hop/alternative roots or potentially do both heading into 2026.
At the end of 2025, on a livestream, Post would tell the chat that he was hoping to release two records in 2026, adding that it’s his goal should “everything go my way”:
“Chances are, chat, we are getting two albums in 2026. If everything goes my way.”
The “Pour Me a Drink” singer would add even more fuel to the rumors of releasing a double album consisting of both country and his former rap/alternative songs back on April 6th when he teased his massive, 40-song upcoming record, titled The Eternal Buzz, with the simple caption: “Coming soon”

Since all but breaking the internet with The Eternal Buzz’s announcement, the only update we received surrounding it came in the form of Post actually having to cancel the first few dates of his upcoming Big A** Stadium Tour. Though many online speculated that the cancellation stemmed from poor ticket sales, in a statement posted to his Instagram story, he said that he would be pushing back the start of the tour to focus on finishing up his upcoming double album:
“Looking at the upcoming schedule after stagecoach, I came to the realization that what we were trying to do, and what’s possible, isn’t really lining up.
Truth is, I promised y’all beautiful people new music, and I don’t have the time to finish it before tour starts. We ain’t ready for tour just yet, so I’m making the decision to push the tour back about 3 weeks to get this music done.
That being said, I’m so sorry to the folks who were planning on coming to the few canceled shows. I was looking forward to going nuts with y’all.
That THAT being said, we been making some badass shit for this double album… and I can’t wait to perform for y’all again.”
Though Post himself has not given any updates on the album, there have been some interesting updates made on ASCAP, the organization responsible for licensing the rights to songs. Taking a look at their ACE Repertory yielded some interesting results that undoubtedly point to at least half of The Eternal Buzz continuing his journey in country music.
Potential Songs
Searching alphabetically, the first song that appears is arguably the most interesting. A track titled “Another Thing To Love,” which was written by Post, Ernest, Miranda Lambert, Ryan Vojtesak and Louis Bell, is the first in the batch of new songs potentially appearing on The Eternal Buzz.
While a Post Malone-Miranda Lambert collab would all but break the internet, the one thing to note about this one is that, for now, ASCAP is listing the track as a duet between Ernest and Lambert — not Post and Lambert.
Continuing to search through ASCAP’s repertoire, multiple other songs point to a return to country music for Post. In particular, “Hate Me Too,” a song written by Post, Ernest and HARDY, along with the likes of Nashville staples such as Ryan Vojtesak and Chandler Walters, also appears.
Finally, Rhett Atkins, longtime Nashville songwriter and father of Thomas Rhett, also appears on another track co-written by Post, Ernest and more, titled “Love You Into Leaving.” Other tracks such as “Red River Wind,” written by Post, Ernest and more, and “Hell or Hell Tonight,” which lists Luke Combs as a co-writer, round out the songs currently registered on ASCAP.
Keep in mind, just because a song is registered to ASCAP does not automatically mean that it will see the light of day on an album. With that being said, however, it’s incredibly safe to assume that Post is coming back to country music in some way, shape or form on The Eternal Buzz. The biggest question surrounding the album, at this point, is just how much of it will actually be country music due to its massive length and rumors surrounding a multi-genre project.
Stay tuned…
