"Wow." is a song by singer/rapper Post Malone, released originally as a one-off single on December 24, 2018, but eventually becoming the leadoff to his third studio album Hollywood's Bleeding. Despite originally being nothing more than a throwaway song, "Wow." went on to become a smash hit, peaking at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in April 2019 and being the first of a record-tying five songs to be blocked from the #1 spot by Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road". In addition to that, it spent 24 weeks in the top 10 and went down as the 5th biggest song of 2019 according to the Billboard Year-End Hot 100.
One of Post's best singles for sure in my opinion. The beat and flow is super catchy, and I like how he actually raps here for once unlike in most of his other songs post-Rockstar (not that I dislike singing Post, definitely not, just saying that it's nice to also hear him rap once in a while). I will say though that the music video for this song was pretty underwhelming (which is why I also included the Christmas visualizer video too because I honestly prefer it over the official video). Really wish there was more to it than just behind the scenes footage and a dancing middle-aged bald guy, but I'll live with it because the song still bangs heavy.

I thought it was alright at first, but it only grew on me over time. Post sounds like he's having so much fun, and yeah, it's great hearing him properly rapping (though I do love his singing too). And I love the production. No wonder this one-off single became such a hit!

This is a banger, but it took a while to grow on me, but once it did it was amazing! Such a great summertime jam, along with Sunflower this made 2019's Summer pretty lit.

Loved this from the first listen! The start of the second verse is probably my favorite part here.

I wasn't into the song when it first came out, but I eventually liked it. Sucks to be part of the club that was blocked by the iconic 19-week domination of "Old Town Road" though.

Fun song. Post has had some of the best, most consistently enjoyable singles run in the last few year.
