Record Store Day is gearing up for its 18th anniversary on Saturday, April 12th, and the event just got even more exciting with the announcement of Post Malone as the official Record Store Day Ambassador for 2025. The cross-genre star, known for his chart-topping hits and eclectic musical style, expressed his honor at being chosen for this pivotal role.
“It’s such an honor. I can’t believe I was chosen to be Record Store Day’s Ambassador for 2025,” Post Malone shared 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.”
For Post Malone, record stores hold a special place, providing not just a hub for music but a source of inspiration. “It’s 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!”
The Unmatched Energy of Record Stores
Carrie Colliton, co-founder of Record Store Day, couldn’t be more thrilled to have Post Malone as this year’s ambassador. “I’m very excited about Ambassador ‘Posty,’” she said. “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 diverse genre range, from hip-hop to country, aligns perfectly with the variety of records and music fans expect to find during the event.
Last year, Paramore (in the U.S.) and Kate Bush (in the U.K.) took the helm as Record Store Day ambassadors, but 2025 promises a fresh energy with Post Malone’s appointment.
Exclusive Releases Expected
Record Store Day is renowned for providing fans with exclusive physical releases from their favorite artists, a tradition that the ambassador typically embraces. While the full 2025 release lineup has yet to be announced, fans can expect something special from Post Malone, possibly linked to his highly anticipated 2024 country album F-1 Trillion. When F-1 Trillion dropped in August, fans were treated to an unexpected surprise—F-1 Trillion: Long Bed, a special edition of the record with nine new solo tracks. With the success of his previous releases, it’s no surprise that fans are eagerly awaiting a Posty exclusive for Record Store Day.
Last year’s event saw limited vinyl releases from icons like Elton John, Queen, Ringo Starr, Frank Zappa, Keane, Jessie Ware, Marianne Faithfull, and many more, leaving fans with an unforgettable experience and rare collectibles to treasure.
