A diamond-certified GRAMMY(R) Award-nominated phenomenon, Dallas, Texas, artist Post Malone regularly rewrites history, blurs boundaries and incites internet-breaking conversation with every move. Emerging in 2015 with a genre-less brew that inspired a movement, he delivered the diamond-selling "Congratulations" [feat. Quavo], achieved back-to-back No. 1 debuts on the Billboard Top 200, received countless multiplatinum certifications around the world, and smashed one record after another with his Hot 100-topping hits. His 2019 third full-length, "Hollywood's Bleeding" [Republic Records], represented an audience and critical high watermark. Not only did it arrive at platinum status, but it also reigned at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 for four weeks and returned to the chart for a fifth week, making for the longest run atop the chart of 2019 and the first release to do so in over a year. It followed the immense success of the triple-platinum "beerbongs & Bentleys," which also landed at No. 1 a year prior. In the wake of "beerbongs & bentleys," Post crushed a record in place for 54 years. He charted nine songs in the Top 20 of the Hot 100, notching "the most songs in the Top 20 of the Hot 100 ever." Moreover, he also trounced the record for most simultaneous Top 40 Hot 100 hits with 14. As of 2019, his catalog comprises the GRAMMY Award-nominated "rockstar" [feat. 21 Savage" (8x-platinum), "Sunflower ("Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse") [feat. Swae Lee] (8x-platinum), "I Fall Apart" (5x-platinum), "Psycho" [feat. Ty Dolla $ign] (5x-platinum), "White Iverson" (5x-platinum), "Better Now" (4x-platinum), and more. Not to mention, he sold out numerous arena tours and launched his own mega-popular Posty Fest in its second successful year in 2019. It all started with his triple-platinum influential 2016 debut, "Stoney." With records under his belt that will likely never be surpassed and a generation of artists and audiences worldwide under his spell, Post Malone simply doesn't stop.
