Last week, Post Malone occupied four spaces on the Billboard 200, the most important albums chart in the United States, which attempts to paint a clear picture of what Americans are listening to. This frame, the multi-genre superstar claims only half as many spots on the tally. While he loses ground in terms of quantity, one of his collections rockets upward, thanks not necessarily to a massive increase in streams or sales, but largely due to how Billboard compiles its rankings.

Post Malone’s Big Week on the Charts

The Diamond Collection is having a big week on the charts in the U.S. The compilation, which gathers Malone’s diamond-certified singles, along with a handful of fan favorites, reappears on both the Top Rap Albums and Top Streaming Albums charts. It lands at Nos. 4 and 21, respectively, while also soaring on two additional tallies. The singles-packed set jumps from No. 43 to No. 8 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums ranking and rockets from No. 152 to No. 28 on the Billboard 200.

Hollywood’s Bleeding and Beerbongs & Bentleys Disappear

Just days ago, Malone’s Hollywood’s Bleeding and Beerbongs & Bentleys were also present on the Billboard 200, but now they’re nowhere to be found. It appears that all the consumption of those titles — or, more appropriately, the songs featured on them — was funneled back toward The Diamond Collection. This occurs from time to time, resulting in one title (or several) falling off the tally while another gains considerable ground within a single frame. Billboard allows for streams and sales of individual tracks to be counted toward either the original albums or any compilations they appear on.

Sometimes, all that activity benefits multiple projects. In other instances, just the full-length on which the tracks originally appeared sees a bump, while in cases like this week, a later compilation reaps the rewards. Since The Diamond Collection includes so many of Malone’s biggest hits, it’s not unusual to see it appear on the charts, surging one week, dipping precipitously the next, then rebounding once again, depending on a variety of factors.

F-1 Trillion Holds On Again

In addition to The Diamond Collection, Malone appears on three charts with F-1 Trillion, his first foray into country music. That set, which is nearing its one-year anniversary on the rankings, dips on both the Billboard 200 and Top Streaming Albums chart, falling to Nos. 33 and 28, respectively. It does, however, rise slightly to No. 5 on the Top Country Albums roster.

The Diamond Collection Jumps More Than 100%

Luminate reports that during the latest tracking frame, The Diamond Collection shifted 19,600 equivalent units. That figure is up more than 103% from the prior period, when it moved just 9,600 units. The compilation sold fewer than 150 copies, so streaming activity and the reassignment of plays from other Malone collections largely helps push it significantly higher.
