Released via Night Street Records/Warner Records on June 20, 2025, the album serves as a powerful follow-up to his platinum-certified debut, “Fireworks & Rollerblades,” further solidifying his position as a formidable force in contemporary pop music.

This includes a remarkable No. 2 spot in both the United States and Canada, showcasing his rapidly growing North American fanbase. Globally, the album has truly resonated, hitting No. 1 in Australia and New Zealand, underscoring his strong international appeal that began with his breakout single.

Benson Boone has achieved a significant milestone with his latest album, “American Heart,” by clinching the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Top Album Sales Chart. This impressive debut marks his best sales week to date, showcasing a powerful surge in his album sales performance.
While “American Heart” introduces new fan favorites like “Mystical Magical” and “Sorry I’m Here For Someone Else,” it also builds on the foundation laid by “Beautiful Things,” which remains a global phenomenon with over four billion total streams and holds the IFPI Global Single Award for 2024.
This new album proves Benson Boone is far from a one-hit wonder, charting a course for sustained success in the pop landscape.

Benson Boone first gained public attention in early 2021 as a contestant on American Idol. Though he quickly impressed judges such as Katy Perry and Lionel Richie, who viewed him as a strong contender, Boone ultimately made the unexpected choice to voluntarily withdraw from the competition. He later explained that he preferred to forge his own path in the music industry, aiming to avoid being perpetually labeled as an “American Idol” kid. We can agree he succeded.
