Post Malone

Austin Richard Post (born July 4, 1995), known professionally as Post Malone, is an American singer, rapper, songwriter, record producer, and actor. His music blends various genres including pop, hip-hop, trap, country, R&B, and rock. Malone began his musical career in 2011, and earned mainstream recognition with his 2015 cloud rap debut single, "White Iverson".

The song led him to sign with Republic Records, and served as lead single for his debut studio album, Stoney (2016), which spawned the Diamond-certified single "Congratulations" (featuring Quavo). His second album, Beerbongs & Bentleys (2018), debuted atop the US Billboard 200 and set numerous streaming records. It contained the US Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles "Rockstar" (featuring 21 Savage) and "Psycho" (featuring Ty Dolla Sign), and was nominated for Album of the Year at the 61st Grammy Awards.

His third Hot 100 number-one single, "Sunflower", a duet with Swae Lee, was released for the accompanying soundtrack to the 2018 animated film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse; it became the highest-certified song in RIAA history and was the first to receive a 2× Diamond certification. Malone's third album, Hollywood's Bleeding (2019), became his second project to both debut atop the Billboard 200 and receive Grammy Award nomination for Album of the Year.

It spawned the single "Circles", which spent 61 weeks on the Hot 100, becoming Malone's biggest hit single to date. Malone's fourth and fifth albums, Twelve Carat Toothache (2022) and Austin (2023), both peaked at number two on the Billboard 200.
