BENSON BOONE

Benson Boone is a singer-songwriter hailing from Monroe, Washington, USA. After first sharing his music to social media in 2021, Benson auditioned for series 19 of American Idol. Though he went on to withdraw from the competition after making the Top 24, Benson gained popularity on TikTok, amassing millions of followers on the app.

He quickly caught the attention of Imagine Dragons frontman Dan Reynolds who signed Benson to his label, Night Street Records, under which he released debut single GHOST TOWN in 2021.

Benson cites Jon Bellion as one of his biggest influences; taking music seriously after attending one of the New York singer-songwriter's concerts. 

Benson Boone broke through in the UK with Beautiful Things in early 2024. The song first entered the UK Official Singles Chart in January 2024 at Number 18, embarking on a steady climb all the way to the top. It broke into the Top 10 two weeks later, and in its ninth week on chart on 22 March Beautiful Things finally landed at Number 1, giving Benson his first UK Number 1 single.

On reaching Number 1, Benson told Official Charts “This is my first-ever trophy and my first Number 1 here in the UK! I want to thank you guys so much for the support you’ve shown this song. There’s so much more to come, I can’t wait for the album. Thank you guys endlessly. See you on tour soon!”
