Post Malone’s 20 Best Songs: Critic’s Picks

Post Malone burst onto the scene in the mid-2010s grinning from ear-to-ear with his gold grills, braids, face tattoos and a Bud Light in his hand. The Texas native quickly became a household name in hip-hop with his genre-blending flair, delivering hit after hit while developing an unbreakable bond with his fanbase. 

Less than a decade later, Posty traded the Hollywood Hills for Utah’s snowy solace, and has more RIAA-certified diamond songs to his name than his beloved Dallas Cowboys have Super Bowl victories.

“I’ve made music for years and years, and down the line, I just want to relax and enjoy the simple things. Be like a kid again,” Posty told Billboard in his 2022 cover story. “Have no responsibilities and everything is handled: your kids, your family, everybody is set and doesn’t need to worry, so you can just play games and play in the tall grass.”

Post Malone – born Austin Post – has been a staple on the Billboard charts throughout his prolific career, with 75 Hot 100 entries, four of which have reached the chart’s apex. Three of them even found a slot on Billboard’s Greatest of All Time Hot 100 Songs list. Posty has accumulated about 33.5 billion U.S. on-demand song streams in total to date, according to Luminate.

With five albums on the Bud Light fanatic’s résumé – all of which peaked inside the Billboard 200’s top five – Billboard sifts through the 28-year-old’s anthem-filled discography, to handpick his best 20 songs. See our choices below.
