About the Album: Rap singer/songwriter Post Malone was born Austin Richard Post in 1995 in Syracuse, New York. His first chart entry, “White Iverson” in 2015, was certified diamond and reached #14 on the Billboard Hot 100. His debut album, 2016’s Stoney followed. It reached #4 on the Billboard album chart and was certified five times platinum. His follow-up, 2018’s Beerbongs & Bentleys, hit #1 and was also certified five times platinum. It featured the #1 hits “Rockstar” and “Psycho.” That same year, Post Malone would reach #1 a third time with Sunflower. The twenty-times platinum single was first featured in the movie Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, but would also show up on his third studio album, Hollywood’s Bleeding. The video was played more than two billion times on YouTube. The first official single from the album was “the fine-tuned hip-hop gem” AMG Wow. (#2, eight-times platinum). It was followed by Goodbyes (#3, three-times platinum), and Circles, on which he allows “his signature vocal trill to soar.” AMG The latter was Post Malone’s fourth #1 and was certified ten-times platinum. It was nominated for Grammys for Record and Song of the Year. He also set a record for most weeks (34) in the top 10 with “Circles.” Those three songs and “Sunflower” all reached one billion streams on Spotify. All of the songs from Hollywood’s Bleeding reached the Billboard Hot 100, maintaining a trend of music’s most successful artists accomplishing that feat when a new album was dropped during the age of streaming. Enemies, Allergic, and Take What You Want were released as official singles. The latter, featuring “haunting vocals” AMG from heavy-metal superstar Ozzy Osbourne, was Post Malone’s fifth top-ten hit from the Hollywood’s Bleeding album. NME’s Danny Wright said “Post Malone is the post everything star the kids have called for, a musician made for the internet-age; a goofball chameleon instinctively skilled at understanding the ways gneres can merge together.” WK Conseqeunce’s Dan Weiss called it Malone’s “most listenable work,” WK saying it “may well be the catchiest album you hear in 2019.” WK AllMusic.com’s Neil Z. Yeung said Post’s “basic hip-hop/rock sound and sad guy image are still at the fore” AMG but “he strikes a more well-honed balance…leaning less on the overly dark trap tones and reluctant-star posturing of past works.” AMG He adds that “there’s nary a dud to be found” AMG on the album which “pushes [Malone] even further into the pop-savvy landscape where he belongs.” AMG
