Playlist: What's Mike Posner listening to?
Nearly six years after his breakout 2010 smash Cooler Than Me peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, Mike Posner scored the biggest hit of his career in last spring's I Took a Pill in Ibiza. A folksy pop ballad popularized by its mesmeric Seeb remix, Ibiza is now nominated for song of the year at next month's Grammy Awards, where it'll face off against the likes of Beyoncé (Formation) and Adele (Hello).
Before then, Posner, 28, shares some of his current favorites with Paste BN. (Warning: Some NSFW language.)
