Post Malone, a chart-dominating, genre-blurring superstar with a knack for turning vulnerability into hits, has been crowned the official 2025 Record Store Day Ambassador. Taking the torch from Paramore, the 2024 ambassadors, Posty steps into this role with the kind of enthusiasm that only a true crate-digger could bring. For a guy who’s always been about blending the old-school and the new, this honor feels less like a corporate gig and more like a heartfelt love letter to the vinyl culture he’s adored for years.
Calling the appointment “an honor,” Malone spoke passionately about what record stores mean to him. “Record Store Day is so important, and I really hope to do my part to keep it alive,” he shared, his voice brimming with the kind of reverence you might expect from a guy who knows the difference between a first pressing and a reissue. “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.”
It’s that mix of sentimentality and cool factor that makes Post Malone the perfect ambassador for a day that celebrates vinyl, the lifeblood of music geeks everywhere. “It’s really an unexplainable feeling to hit up a shop, dig through crates, and see what grabs your eye,” he added. “You might be searching for something specific but walk out with something completely unexpected. That’s the magic. Let’s keep supporting and keep records and these local shops alive. Happy Record Store Day, everybody!”
For those who know Malone’s track record, his appointment is a perfect fit. This is the artist who gave us limited-edition pressings of The Diamond Collection, a compilation of his diamond-certified hits, and memorable singles like “White Iverson” and “Circles.” While his exclusive release for Record Store Day 2025 is still under wraps, fans can expect something special—after all, this is the guy who treats every project like it’s the first time you’re hearing him pour his heart out.
Mark your calendars: Record Store Day 2025 lands on April 12. With Posty at the helm, it’s bound to be a celebration that pairs timeless records with that irresistible feeling of flipping through crates and finding a gem you didn’t even know you needed.
