Post Malone's had a hell of a year so far. The singer finally released his long-awaited sophomore album, Beerbongs & Bentleys at the end of April. The album helped Post Malone hit a new high in his career. Beerbongs & Bentleys is still the largest first week debut of the year with 461K equivalent album units sold. In addition, he also went platinum within the first day of its release. Now, he receives another accolade for his collaboration with Nicki Minaj on "Ball For Me."

Post Malone and Nicki Minaj's Beerbongs & Bentleys collaboration, "Ball For Me" has officially gone gold, chartdata reports. It's a big tune and one of the many highlights off of Posty's latest project so it doesn't come as that much of a shock. Hopefully, the two of them deliver a new music video for the song in the future. It seems like with the strength of a visual, the single will hit platinum in no time.

Despite just releasing his sophomore album, Post revealed that he's already working on his follow up to Beerbongs & Bentleys

"i am writing for the next album. thank u to everyone who is listening. let's kick some dick. i love u." he wrote on Twitter.

It'll be interesting to see how he ends up topping the success of Beerbongs but suffice to say, Post Malone is definitely turning out to be one of the biggest rockstars in the globe.
