As his global smash ‘Beautiful Things’ stands at #1 on the UK Official Singles Chart after spending six weeks in the Top 5, the pop sensation Benson Boone announces that his hotly anticipated debut album ‘Fireworks & Rollerblades’ will be released on April 5th via Night Street Records / Warner Records.
Benson further previews the album by sharing the aching, piano-driven new single ‘Slow It Down’. The track follows his massive US Platinum hit ‘Beautiful Things’ which also hit #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and spent four consecutive weeks at #1 on the Billboard Global Chart with over 600 million streams to date. ‘Beautiful Things’ and ‘Slow It Down’plus his previous smashes smashes ‘Ghost Town’ (certified Silver in the UK) and ‘In the Stars’ (certified Gold) will all feature on ‘Fireworks & Rollerblades’.
Benson Boone’s ‘Fireworks and Rollerblades’ world tour gets underway next month, starting with a run of sold-out North American shows before heading to Europe through May and June, and then Australia and New Zealand in September. The tour includes a long sold-out London show at the O2 Forum Kentish Town on May 21st. Please see HERE for a list of all international dates.
The ongoing success of ‘Beautiful Things’ and news of his debut album continues a trend of big achievements for Benson, who has previously been named as an MTV Global PUSH Artist, an Amazon Music Breakthrough Artist and iHeartRadio’s On The Verge Artist. Meanwhile, last year’s ‘PULSE’ EP generated tens of millions of streams for tracks like ‘What Was’, ‘Little Runaway’ and ‘Sugar Sweet’. He headlined a sold-out headline tour across North America and Europe, and then ended the year with the release of his moving single ‘To Love Someone’.
In 2022, prior to the ‘PULSE’ EP, Benson released the piano ballad ‘Before You’ and the ‘Walk Me Home…’ EP , which included his breakout single ‘GHOST TOWN’ – his first entry on the Billboard Hot 100 and a Top 25 hit at both Top 40 and Hot AC radio. It also became his first RIAA-certified Gold record, followed by ‘In The Stars’, which is now certified Platinum.
