The music wire was abuzz with a discussion on Mike Posner’s latest single I took a pill in Ibiza. The single surged to #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week and #1 on the UK official singles chart, setting the stage for his appearance on NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon this evening, and today’s announcement of the May 6th release of Mike’s long-awaited second album, ‘At Night, Alone’.
The reddit thread talked about what song Posner was referring to when he said "I get along with old timers 'Cause my name's a reminder of a pop song people forgot". The most popular comment stated that he was referring to his own song Cooler than me. Which he feels he is most associated with.
Mike Posner released his debut album, ‘31 Minutes to Takeoff’, on August 10, 2010. The album spun off three hit singles including the double-platinum Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 hit Cooler Than Me (over 50 million YouTube views to date); the platinum Top 10 follow-up Please Don't Go (over 36 million YouTube views to date); and then Bow Chicka Wow Wow.
Mike is also known for writing the Grammy®-nominated Sugar by Maroon 5, and Boyfriend by Justin Bieber, as well as co-writing songs for Pharrell, Big Sean, 2 Chainz, Wiz Khalifa, Nelly, TI, Snoop Dogg, Avicii, Nick Jonas, and more.
