Post Malone dropped his new album, “Hollywood’s Bleeding,” on Sept. 6. “Hollywood’s Bleeding” is Malone’s third album. The Syracuse-native singer, songwriter and record producer’s previous albums include “Stoney” and “Beerbongs & Bentleys.” 

“Hollywood’s Bleeding” has been a hit since release, spending the past two weeks at number one the Billboard music charts. The album sold 489,000 album units by Sept. 12 in the U.S. alone.  Not only is the album successful in the United States, but also across the pond. “Hollywood’s Bleeding” has also hit number one on the U.K. charts, according to Forbes. 

This is Malone’s second number one album to hit the Billboard charts, after 2018’s “Beerbongs & Bentleys.”  Malone’s newest album surpassed Taylor Swift’s album “Lover,” according to Billboard. The top three spots on the Billboard charts have also been occupied by Malone’s three singles released previously to promote the album. 

Malone has more than 59 million monthly listeners on Spotify and is also ranked as the third most listened to artist on Spotify. The most popular song played on Spotify is Malone’s “Goodbyes,” featuring Young Thug, with over 322 million plays. 

On this latest album, Post Malone collaborated with other artists from a wide range of genres, including: Future, Halsey, Swae Lee, Travis Scott and Ozzy Osbourne. 

Utica College students have been listening to Malone’s latest release. Senior public relations major Josie Sgarlata listened to all of “Hollywood’s Bleeding” the day it came out. Fellow UC students, freshman Chris Clemens and junior Sydney Scaccia, have also had the album on repeat since launch day.

Both Clemens and Sgarlata liked the song “Saint Tropez” the most for its good-vibe nature.  Scaccia liked the song as well, but her favorite is “Die for Me.” 

“I like ‘Die for Me’ because it’s with two other artists, Future and Halsey,” Scaccia said. 

All three UC students were big fans of Malone before this album came out, and have enjoyed listening to Malone’s previous albums “Stoney” and “Beerbongs & Bentleys.” 

Fans of Malone have questioned whether this new album will be as popular as the previous album. 

“Personally, I like his old album more,” Sgarlata said.  “But I feel this album will get more attention because he now has a bigger fan base and the album includes a lot of collaborations.”  

Clemens thinks that “Hollywood’s Bleeding” will not live up to “Beerbongs & Bentleys” record breaking success. 

“None of the songs that have been released off the new album are going as viral as the ones off ‘Beerbongs & Bentleys,’” Clemens said. “He did say though that on this album he was trying to release different styles of songs and experiment with a lot of different things.” 

“This album was released at an awkward time compared to “Beerbongs & Bentleys,” which was released in the summer,” Scaccia said. “So, I don’t think the songs are as good, partially due to the timing they are released.  I feel like the songs are kind of sad and are break up songs.”

These UC students would not pass on an opportunity to see Malone in concert, however. Post Malone is currently on tour and will be making stops relatively close to the area.  

“I know he’s playing in Buffalo in October and I would love to go, but I can’t because of field hockey,” Sgarlata said. 

Clemens would also love to attend one of Malone’s concerts in the future.  Scaccia has previously been to one of his concerts for the “Beerbongs & Bentleys” tour. 

“I wish I could go again this year. I would pay any amount of money to go see him again, he was the best concert I’ve been to,” Scaccia said.
