Post Malone also ties the record for the highest certified song in US history. Post Malone and Swae Lee’s 2018 hit collab “Sunflower” is currently certified 17 times platinum, which is a tie with Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road”.
Post Malone has shared his challenges in the music industry, despite achieving significant success“It’s so hard,” he previously told Billboard. “You lose a lot of the artist nowadays because a lot of people have so many genius ideas, but you lose a lot of that through everything that might happen with the business side — and you lose a little bit of yourself. Every time you change your art and your way of thinking for someone else’s, that takes a little piece of yourself off every time. I feel like I’m trying to rebuild.”
Just recently, Malone made his return to music with a brand new single and video “Chemical”. This was his first offering since last year’s fourth studio album “Twelve Carat Toothache”, which debuted at 2 on Billboard 200 with 121,000 sales in the first week.
