Post Malone

Austin Richard Post, known professionally as Post Malone, is an American singer, rapper, songwriter, record producer, and actor. He has achieved significant commercial success and critical recognition across multiple genres including pop, hip-hop, country, and R&B. After releasing his breakthrough cloud rap debut single, ‘White Iverson’ in 2015, which quickly reached number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100, Post Malone secured a recording contract with Republic Records the same year. His momentum continued with the release of his debut studio album, ‘Stoney’ (2016), which proved to be a significant commercial success, peaking at number four on the Billboard 200.

By 2024, ‘Sunflower’ made history as the highest-certified song in RIAA history, achieving an unprecedented double diamond status. In 2019, Post Malone released his third album, ‘Hollywood’s Bleeding,’ which also soared to number one on the Billboard 200. This album delivered ‘Circles,’ his fourth number-one hit, which demonstrated remarkable longevity by charting for 61 weeks. Maintaining a consistent release schedule, he followed with ‘Twelve Carat Toothache’ in 2022 and ‘Austin’ in 2023, both of which reached a commendable number two on the Billboard 200, showcasing his continued ability to blend pop, hip-hop, and R&B influences effectively.

The year 2024 marked a pivotal expansion into country music for Malone, with two major collaborations debuting atop the Billboard Hot 100: ‘Fortnight’ with Taylor Swift and ‘I Had Some Help’ alongside Morgan Wallen. His sixth album, ‘F-1 Trillion’ (2024), further embraced the country genre and became his third non-consecutive number-one album on the Billboard 200. With nine diamond-certified songs to his name as of 2025, Post Malone holds the distinct record for the artist with the most diamond-certified tracks, underscoring his extraordinary commercial success and genre-defying appeal.
