He is recognized for blending a variety of music genres, including hip-hop, pop, R&B, trap, and country. His stage name was created by entering his birth name into a rap name generator.
Post Malone began his music career in 2011 and gained significant attention with his debut single "White Iverson" in 2015, which peaked at number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100. He later signed with Republic Records and released his debut studio album "Stoney" in 2016. The album reached number four on the Billboard 200 and featured the diamond-certified single "Congratulations", featuring Quavo.
His second studio album, "Beerbongs & Bentleys", was released in 2018 and debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, setting multiple streaming records. The album included the number-one singles "Rockstar", featuring 21 Savage, and "Psycho", featuring Ty Dolla $ign. It was nominated for Album of the Year at the 61st Grammy Awards.
In 2018, he released "Sunflower", a collaboration with Swae Lee for the soundtrack of the animated film "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse". The song became his third number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100 and the highest certified song in RIAA history, being the first to achieve double diamond certification. It was later included on his third studio album "Hollywood's Bleeding", released in 2019. The album topped the Billboard 200 and received a Grammy nomination for Album of the Year. It featured the single "Circles", which became his fourth number-one hit and his longest-charting song on the Hot 100.
Post Malone's fourth and fifth albums, "Twelve Carat Toothache" (2022) and "Austin" (2023), both peaked at number two on the Billboard 200. "Twelve Carat Toothache" included the top ten singles "I Like You (A Happier Song)", featuring Doja Cat, and "One Right Now", with The Weeknd. "Austin" explored a pop rock sound and featured the top 15 single "Chemical".
In 2024, he released two singles that debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100: "Fortnight", a collaboration with Taylor Swift, and "I Had Some Help", a country pop duet with Morgan Wallen. "I Had Some Help" served as the lead single for his sixth studio album "F-1 Trillion", which continued his experimentation with country music and became his third non-consecutive number-one album on the Billboard 200.
