Post Malone is closing out the first weekend of the 2025 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on Sunday night (April 13). This is the second time in Malone's career that he's played the Indio, California, festival, following a 2018 set, but this go-around marks his debut as a headliner and an accidental lineup leaker. The first weekend of his country-era showdown will likely include a few songs from F-1 Trillion, his latest album. Watch his performance live below.
Led by the singles 'I Had Some Help' and 'Pour Me a Drink,' F-1 Trillion came out last summer and includes appearances from Dolly Parton, Blake Shelton, Luke Combs, Lainey Wilson, Tim McGraw, Morgan Wallen, Jelly Roll, and more. The rapper and singer has played a number of concerts and festivals since releasing the LP, despite health issues that caused him to struggle singing while on tour.
Earlier in 2024, Malone showcased his country voice while singing 'American the Beautiful' to kick off the Super Bowl. He also doubled down on his country foray by joining forces with the Kentucky-born singer-songwriter Dwight Yoakam on 'I Don't Know How to Say Goodbye (Bang Bang Boom Boom).'

Eminem's Timeless Classic Becomes A Top 10 Bestseller
Eminem's 'Lose Yourself' reenters the Rap Digital Song Sales chart at No. 8 and the R&B/Hip-Hop ... More Digital Song Sales list at No. 14, nearing 500 weeks on both. Eminem at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards held at UBS Arena September 11, 2024 in in Elmont, New York. (Photo by Christopher Polk/Billboard via Getty Images) Billboard via Getty Images Eminem's most recent albums and singles have all faded from the Billboard charts. These days, the rapper remains on the weekly rankings thanks solely to some of his decades-old compositions. As Americans continue to buy and stream some of the hip-hop superstar's classics, one track in particular reasserts itself as his most successful and becomes a proper bestseller yet again. "Lose Yourself" returns to a pair of Billboard rankings this frame, breaking back onto both the Rap Digital Song Sales and R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales tallies. It reenters those lists at Nos. 8 and 14, respectively. It wouldn't be unusual for a musician as celebrated as Eminem to score one or two hits in the United States, even with decades-old tunes. But what is notable is that "Lose Yourself" remains a top 10 bestseller — albeit only on a genre-specific roster. "Lose Yourself" is approaching 500 weeks on both of the charts on which it currently appears. If it can hold on for another month on the Rap Digital Song Sales tally, it will hit that milestone. While it still has several dozen more frames to go on the broader R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales ranking, it seems likely that it will eventually make it to that landmark figure as well. Amazingly, despite the fact that "Lose Yourself" has spent nearly 500 spans on both charts, it has yet to reach No. 1 on either of them. Eminem's smash has stalled in the runner-up space on both sales lists, coming frustratingly close to adding to his growing roster of champions on more than one occasion. Eminem's Oscar-Winning Smash Eminem released "Lose Yourself" in October 2002. The song served as the lead single from the 8 Mile soundtrack. The tune was a huge commercial success, ruling the Hot 100 for 12 consecutive frames and dominating multiple other rankings around the world. In addition to becoming yet another hit for the rapper, "Lose Yourself" also won Eminem several Grammy Awards and even the Academy Award for Best Original Song, making him the first rapper to snag that prize.

MTV Announces Return to All-Music Video Format. But There's a Catch.
MTV will go back to its roots—for a limited time only. The first-ever all-music TV network has announced a return to its 24/7 music video format ahead of the 2025 Video Music Awards. But there are a few catches. Returning MTV executive Van Toffler has dreamed up a week of all-music programming for three MTV channels during the week leading up to the VMAs on Sept. 7, Variety reported. The all-music video lineup will include videos selected by past MTV personalities and winning VMA artists. A press release posted by Remind magazine teased, 'In the run up to the 2025 Video Music Awards on CBS on September 7, MTV will air an unprecedented week of 24/7 music videos across MTV2, MTV Live and MTV Classic, both classic and current, in a revival of the brand's early DNA reimagined for today's audiences. Past VMA winners and legendary MTV personalities will return to curate and spotlight their seven favorite music videos of all time, offering fans an intimate glimpse into the music videos that shaped them.' MTV, Music Television, launched on Aug. 1, 1981, at 12:01 a.m. with imagery of a rocket launch and an astronaut planting an MTV flag on the moon. 'Ladies and gentlemen, rock 'n roll,' an announcer said. The first video to air on MTV was The Buggles' "Video Killed The Radio Star.' Viewers were introduced to VJs Alan Hunter, Nina Blackwood, J.J. Jackson, Mark Goodman and Martha Quinn. Other videos played during that fateful first 24 hours included Pat Benatar's 'You Better Run,' 'Hold on Loosely' by 38 Special, 'You Better You Bet' by The Who, and 'Brass in Pocket' by The Pretenders. Music videos were the only thing on the menu at MTV for several years, but the network eventually gave way to reality shows, game shows, and animated series. Original VJ Alan Hunter told the New York Post that a taping for spring break segments in Daytona Beach in 1986 spawned a change. 'I was the VJ that loved being out of the studio the most, so I was the one they sent to spring break to be a part of the thousands of screaming young guys cracking beers over my head,' the MTV host said. 'And that was kind of the beginning of different kinds of shows that you would see. That was when MTV decided that they couldn't just be a video jukebox forever. MTV began to train their cameras on the lifestyle of the young folks that were watching MTV.'MTV Announces Return to All-Music Video Format.

MTV Divides Gen X Fans With Unexpected Announcement
MTV Divides Gen X Fans With Unexpected Announcement originally appeared on Parade. It's been a common refrain among Gen Xers (and elder Millennials) for years: "Remember when MTV used to play actual music?" Now it seems the iconic network is finally listening to the complaints of their earliest audiences — but not everybody is convinced. In a press release this week, it was announced that MTV will air a week of 24/7 music videos across MTV2, MTV Live and MTV Classic leading up to the 2025 Music Video Awards on Sunday, Sept. 7. According to the release, the selections will include "both classic and current" videos "in a revival of the brand's early DNA reimagined for today's audiences," curated by "past VMA winners and legendary MTV personalities." In the comments on an Instagram post sharing the news, some fans seemed thrilled to hear about the planned programming switch, while others remained skeptical. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kolten Lindsey (@ "MTV will make the greatest comeback if they went back to music videos," one person declared. "This should be ALL THE TIME," agreed a second commenter, adding, "The 90s were lit with music videos!!! That's how it should be! 'Music television' 🤦🏾♀️" "Or here's an idea…they could just do it permanently to get all that viewership back," somebody quipped, with another fan rejoicing, "Gen X is here for our first babysitter 😂" "But is it 80s and 90s? Because if it's current music, no gracias," declared a nostalgia-hungry music lover, as others offered their suggestions. "'Video Killed the Radio Star' should be the first again," one fan pointed out, referring to the first-ever music video played by MTV in 1981 (for a song by The Buggles). "Take On Me by A-ha ❤️," added another commenter, with still more people name-checking such classic MTV staples as "Money for Nothing" by Dire Straits, "Thriller" by Michael Jackson, "Touch of Grey" by the Grateful Dead and "Addicted to Love" by Robert Palmer, among others. Whether or not MTV's throwback experiment will be a hit with viewers remains to be seen, but hopes are high for this year's VMAs, which will see the return of producer and CEO of digital media company Gunpowder & Sky (linked to such iconic VMAs moments as Beyoncé's pregnancy reveal and the Madonna-Britney Spears-Christina Aguilera kiss). "We're not just producing a show. We're launching a celebration of music that spans one week, every screen and every generation," Gunpowder & Sky CEO Van Toffler said in the press release. The VMAs are scheduled to air live on Sunday, Sept. 7 at 8 p.m. ET on both CBS and MTV, and will be available to stream on Paramount+.MTV Divides Gen X Fans With Unexpected Announcement first appeared on Parade on Jun 27, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jun 27, 2025, where it first appeared.
