140K+ Creator Videos And Counting: Why Post Malone’s Latest Collab Is Breaking TikTok Records
Post Malone’s recent collaboration with Morgan Wallen, “I Had Some Help,” is generating significant engagement on TikTok, inspiring over 140,000 creator videos since its release.
The platform reports that a clip of the two artists performing the track live has amassed over 41 million views and 4.7 million likes, signaling strong user interest in Post Malone’s country music pivot.
This surge in engagement coincides with TikTok’s launch of the #F1TRILLION in-app experience, designed to promote Post Malone’s debut country album, “F-1 Trillion.”
The two-week feature offers users exclusive content and interactive challenges.
Post Malone has a strong platform presence, with 17.4 million followers and 167 million likes across his content.
In May, a teaser for his upcoming single “Pour Me a Drink,” featuring Blake Shelton, quickly accumulated 28.3 million views and 2.4 million likes.
The #F1TRILLION experience includes five interactive tasks for users to complete. Those who finish all tasks gain access to exclusive, previously unreleased photos. U.S.-based participants who complete the challenges can enter a contest to win two tickets to the upcoming F-1 Trillion tour.
TikTok is also encouraging user-generated content (UGC) related to the album. Fans can tag their videos featuring Post Malone’s new music with the #F1TRILLION hashtag for a chance to be featured in an official Fan Spotlight carousel.
