Post Malone Named Record Store Day 2025 Ambassador
Updated Jan 27
In a significant nod to his influence across multiple music genres, Post Malone has been appointed as the official ambassador for Record Store Day 2025. The annual event, now in its 18th year, is scheduled for Saturday, April 12th, and celebrates the culture of independently owned record stores worldwide.
Expressing his enthusiasm, Post Malone stated, "What an honour, I can't believe I was chosen to be Record Store Day's Ambassador for 2025. Record Store Day is so important, and I really hope to do my part to keep it alive. We love hitting local shops when we're on the road, seeing all the crazy artwork; the whole energy in a record store is just super inspiring. I feel at home."
He further added, "It's really an unexplainable feeling to hit up a shop and dig through crates, just see what grabs your eye. You can be looking for something super specific and end up finding something totally different. It's the best. Keep supporting y'all, and let's keep records and these local shops going strong. Happy Record Store Day everybody!"
Record Store Day co-founder Carrie Colliton expressed her excitement about the selection, noting, "I'm very excited about Ambassador 'Posty'. Musically, he's all over the place — just like record stores and their customers, especially some of the newest, youngest people to embrace their local brick-and-mortar spaces."
Post Malone's appointment as ambassador aligns with his recent ventures into diverse musical territories. In August 2024, he released his highly anticipated sixth studio album, 'F-1 Trillion', marking his debut into the country music scene. The album features collaborations with notable country artists, including Morgan Wallen, Blake Shelton, and Luke Combs. The lead single, "I Had Some Help," a duet with Wallen, debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and maintained its position for six weeks.
Following the album's release, Post surprised fans with 'F-1 Trillion: Long Bed Edition', adding nine new solo tracks to the original lineup. This move further showcased his versatility and commitment to exploring different musical styles.
Record Store Day, established in 2007, has become a global event, with artists and fans alike celebrating the unique culture of independent record shops. The day often features exclusive vinyl releases, in-store performances, and special promotions, aiming to support and preserve the vibrant community of record enthusiasts.
