If you’re a fan of catchy tunes that blend rap and pop, chances are you’ve heard of Post Malone. His unique ability to mix emotional lyrics with arena-ready hooks has made him one of the most popular musicians on the planet.
From his debut single, “White Iverson,” and debut mixtape, August 26th, it was clear that Post Malone was destined for stardom. Yet, what sets him apart is how his best work is fueled by his underdog status. Despite the haters, his songs consistently skyrocket to the top of the charts.
Post Malone is like Michael Jordan in that he uses every slight or negative opinion as fuel to create another hit. You can hear this in songs like “Congratulations,” where the doubters are used to illustrate just how far he’s come as a superstar.
His career has been unpredictable, but that’s what makes it so exciting. He’s gone from straight-ahead pop-rap songs to something more malleable and original. Regardless of how you classify him, whether as a rapper, singer, or something in between, Post Malone is one of the most consistent musicians in the industry right now.
Check out my picks for the 10 best Post Malone songs below.
10. Die for Me feat. Future & Halsey
Post Malone’s ability to blend his sound with other artists is on full display in “Die for Me.” He matches Future’s dark and chaotic vibe while still making the track his own. Halsey’s contribution also adds to the song’s standout quality.
9. Goodbyes feat. Young Thug
In 2019, fans were thrilled to hear that Post Malone and Young Thug were teaming up. The resulting track, “Goodbyes,” is a heart-wrenching love song that showcases both rappers’ talent. Young Thug’s out-of-this-world delivery perfectly captures the feeling of heartbreak.
8. Feeling Whitney
For fans of Post Malone’s acoustic side, “Feeling Whitney” is a must-listen. The song, which was the last track on the deluxe edition of his 2016 LP “Stoney,” shows a more vulnerable side of the rapper. With his cathartic ballad, Post Malone proves that he can deliver a heartfelt acoustic track just as well as he can deliver a rap banger.
7. Circles
Don’t let the upbeat tempo fool you – “Circles” is a song about heartbreak. Post Malone’s lyrics perfectly capture the pain of a failed relationship, and the simple yet powerful chorus will have you hitting repeat over and over again.
6. Psycho feat. Ty Dolla $ign
If you’re looking for a catchy tune to get stuck in your head, look no further than “Psycho.” Ty Dolla $ign’s smooth vocals complement Post Malone’s singing, resulting in an infectious chorus that you won’t be able to resist singing along to.
5. Rockstar feat. 21 Savage
Before he actually became a rockstar, Post sang about his aspirations to be one. Even though in hindsight he already was one, it’s totally understandable for him to dream big. His vocals are powerful, emotional, and anthemic, perfectly capturing the ups and downs of being in the limelight. And 21 Savage comes in with a killer verse that proves Post can collaborate with anyone in the game.
4. White Iverson
Post Malone’s debut single may have seemed silly to some, but it quickly became a hit thanks to his unique blend of humor and talent. “White Iverson” is a perfect example of his ability to create catchy, memorable tunes that stick with you long after you’ve stopped listening.
3. Sunflower feat. Swae Lee
“Sunflower” is a memorable tune that featured in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. The song is simple yet catchy, and it’s tough not to sing along once you hear it. Swae Lee’s excellent performance in the song takes it to another level, making it one of Post Malone’s best tracks. It’s also helped define the new generation of hip-hop.
2. Hollywood’s Bleeding
“Hollywood’s Bleeding” is another great song by Post Malone. He sounds haunted on this one, giving us a glimpse into the darker side of fame, where tabloids, fans, and the industry can weigh heavily on someone’s soul. Post pours his heart out in this emotional masterpiece, and the way he builds suspense by waiting for the beat to drop in the second verse is truly epic.
1. Congratulations feat. Quavo
“Congratulations” is an anthem for those who have faced doubts and come out on top. It’s a celebration for the underdogs and afterthoughts. The track is arguably the catchiest in Posty’s catalog, and it’s easy to see why. Malone uses opposition to fuel his best moments, and “Congratulations” is a perfect example of that. He’s not angry, but he’s ready for his flowers from everyone who once doubted him.
