Post Malone was bestowed the title of Record Store Day Ambassador for 2025. The singer has previously collaborated with the annual event, contributing “White Iverson”/”Too Young” 12-inch single in 2016.
“What an honor, can’t believe I was chosen to be Record Store Day’s Ambassador for 2025,” said Malone in a statement. “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. 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.”
The F-1 Trillion follows previous ambassador Paramore, who took on the role the year before. As part of their duties, ambassadors usually offer up an exclusive release for the occasion. Malone also participated in past Record Store Day events and offered the “Waiting for Never”/”Hateful” 12-inch single in 2023, a special edition of The Diamond Collection for RSD Black Friday 2023, and dropped singles “Wow”, “Circles,” and “Saint-Tropez” as three-inch records for its 2020 Black Friday.
“I’m very excited about Ambassador ‘Posty’”, said Record Store Day co-founder Carrie Colliton in a press release. “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.”
Other past ambassadors include Jason Isbell and Amanda Shires, Taylor Swift, Fred Armisen, Brandi Carlile, Pearl Jam, Run The Jewels, St. Vincent, Metallica, Dave Grohl, Chuck D, Jack White,Iggy Pop, Ozzy Osbourne, and Joshua Homme. Record Store Day 2025 takes place on April 12.
