The pop star scores his highest-charting debut in the US
Grammy-nominated global pop sensation Benson Boone’s new album American Heart has debuted top ten in ten countries around the world, including top five in Germany, No. 2 in the U.S and Canada, and No. 1 in Australia and New Zealand. The album was released last week via Night Street Records/Warner Records and marks the young pop star’s highest first week debut and the highest charting new album this week.
Additionally, Benson currently holds three songs on the Billboard Hot 100 with current single “Mystical Magical,” the album’s first single “Sorry I’m Here For Someone Else” (which just hit No. 1 at Hot AC radio) and 2024’s breakout “Beautiful Things.”
Benson also premiered a video for “Mr. Electric Blue,” a song he wrote about his father, which has already amassed over four million views.
Boone’s five-time platinum hit “Beautiful Things” was the No. 1 most streamed song in the world last year, earning the IFPI Global Single Award for 2024. The chart-conquering track has now surpassed two billion streams on Spotify and over four billion total streams since its release last year. Most recently, it broke the record for the longest run of a single music video on YouTube’s US Music Video Chart, with over 70 consecutive weeks and counting.
Featured on his acclaimed, platinum certified debut album Fireworks & Rollerblades, the viral smash logged an impressive seven weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 chart, hit No. 1 at Top 40, Hot AC, and AC radio, and vaulted to No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It also earned Boone two Billboard Music Awards, an MTV Video Music Award, an iHeartRadio Music Award, the BMI Champion Award, and multiple global accolades.
Boone has a record year of touring ahead, as well. His American Heart North American arena tour—which includes stops at Madison Square Garden in New York and Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, among others—sold out instantly. Last year, he opened for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in London at Wembley stadium, following a performance with Lana Del Rey at Hangout Festival in May, in addition to embarking on his own fully sold-out Fireworks & Rollerblades Tour, playing shows across the globe.
