Republic RecordsIt’s two in a row for Post Malone. Hollywood’s Bleeding, his follow-up to his 2018 #1, beerbongs & bentleys, just debuted atop the Billboard 200 all-genre album chart.
Hollywood’s Bleeding, which dropped September 6, moved 489,000 equivalent albums units in the sales week ending September 12, according to Nielsen Music figures reported by Billboard. Of those, 200,000 were actual album sales.

Hollywood’s Bleeding also scored the biggest streaming week of the year, beating the previous champ, Ariana Grande‘s Thank U, Next.
Dialing in at 17 tracks, Hollywood’s Bleeding features a star-studded roster of guest spots from the likes of Da Baby, Halsey Future, Meek Mill, Lil Baby, metal legend Ozzy Osbourne, Travis Scott, SZA and more.
Post’s Runaway Tour kicked off this weekend. He’s also preparing for his annual Posty Fest.
