About Benson Boone
Benson Boone’s intimate, diaristic pop songs are constantly evolving as he quickly becomes a global hitmaker. From his Platinum-certified 2024 debut album Fireworks & Rollerblades, Boone’s 5x-Platinum viral smash hit “Beautiful Things”—which was the most-streamed song in the world in 2024—quickly soared to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, spent 7 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Global 200, and hit #1 at both Top 40 and Hot AC radio. In addition to earning Boone a 2025 Grammy Award nomination for Best New Artist, this massive success also led him to perform at the 2024 MTV VMAs, where he won Best Alternative and received three additional nominations. His impact spans across the globe—2024 also saw him perform at the MTV EMAs, NRJ Awards, and Los40 Awards, taking home trophies at every stop. Additionally, Boone had a record year of touring, selling out a global headline tour, making his debut at major festivals such as Austin City Limits and Lollapalooza, opening for Taylor Swift‘s ERAS Tour in London and performing with Lana Del Rey at Hangout Festival. In 2023, Boone was named MTV’s Global PUSH Artist for October, while his PULSE EP generated tens of millions of streams. PULSE was preceded by his 2022 piano ballad “Before You” and the Walk Me Home… EP, which included his breakout single “GHOST TOWN” — Boone’s first entry on the Billboard Hot 100. It also became his first RIAA-certified Gold record, followed by “In The Stars,” both of which are now certified Platinum. Boone is continuing to reach new heights in 2025, with over 8.5 billion career streams to date, sold out tour dates across the globe, and new music on the way.
