Post Malone
Post Malone first hit the mainstream in 2015, his debut single ‘White Iverson’ broke several streaming records, reaching over a million views in one month. That same year Malone signed with the Republic label and in 2016 released the single ‘Go Flex’ along with his official debut mixtape.
Austin Richard Post, professionally know as Post Malone quickly ascended to hip-hop royalty from 2017 after ‘White Iverson’ was certified quadruple platinum in the United States and due to his many multi-platinum hits that followed.
Soon after signing to Republic ‘Stoney’ was released which debuted at number six on the Billboard 200, the album featured his first top-10 hit, ‘Congratulations’, which was to soon become double platinum also.
Known for his laconic style of music, which has been described as a “melting pot of country, grunge, hip-hop and R&B.” Post Malone referrers to himself as “genre-less”. It is arguably his unique style that rightly earnt him over fifteen nominations in 2018 and two wins for his single ‘Rockstar’ featuring 21 Savage.
Rockstar, off of his second album ‘Beerbongs & Bentleys’, peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and held the spot for eight consecutive weeks, prompting Rolling Stone to call him "one of the most popular musicians in the country" in 2017. Upon its release Beerbongs & Bentley’s broke the first day streaming record on Spotify with 78.7 million streams worldwide and was certified platinum after just four days.
Since his breakthrough back in 2015 Post Malone has played a number of festivals including Leeds Festival, Reading Festival, Lollapalooza , and Wireless Festival.
