About the album

Post Malone has never been much for staying in one lane, and on his third album he drives across all of them. Hollywood's Bleeding mixes trap, pop, rock and soft-focus balladry, built mostly with longtime producer Louis Bell, with Andrew Watt, Frank Dukes and BloodPop among the extra hands. Work started just six weeks after Beerbongs & Bentleys came out, and the singles kept coming for most of a year before the album itself landed.

"Wow." and "Goodbyes" with Young Thug set the tone, "Enemies" brings in DaBaby, and "Die for Me" pairs him with Future and Halsey. "Take What You Want" is the big surprise, a power ballad with Ozzy Osbourne and Travis Scott, while "Sunflower" with Swae Lee arrives from the Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse soundtrack. SZA turns up on "Staring at the Sun," and Meek Mill and Lil Baby share "On the Road."

It drew the best reviews of his career and went quadruple platinum in the US. It's the record where Ozzy Osbourne and Swae Lee sit three songs apart, which is a dinner party seating plan we'd pay good money to watch.
