With his star continuing to rise, Benson Boone gave fans yet another reason to talk and cheer during his “Fireworks & Rollerblades” tour stop in Cincinnati.
The 23-year-old pop sensation shocked and delighted concertgoers on September 30 when he walked out of the venue wearing nothing but a retro American flag Speedo, cowboy boots, a backpack, and his signature confidence. And yes, there’s video proof.
Boone, who first found fame on TikTok before briefly appearing on American Idol and later signing with Imagine Dragons’ label, has become a force in pop music. But this moment? It was pure viral gold.
In a fan-captured video reposted by Pop Crave, Boone can be seen waving and saluting his screaming fans before casually strolling across the street like it was just another day in the life of a pop superstar.
“CINCINNATI 💛 One of the best crowds I’ve ever had the privilege of hearing,” Boone wrote on Instagram. “Never change. I will remember last night for the rest of my life 🤍.”
And it’s not the first time Boone has rocked a Speedo, but fans agree — this one hit different. One fan tweeted, “It’s giving 80s energy and he fills it out pretty well… from both sides!” Others chimed in with playful admiration, with comments ranging from “ICONIC” to “We’re not gonna survive this tour, are we?”
But while the internet buzzes about his outfit, Benson Boone continues making waves where it matters most – on the charts.
“Beautiful Things” Returns to No. 1
Boone’s breakout hit Beautiful Things is once again sitting at the top, reclaiming the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Adult Contemporary chart. After briefly dipping to No. 2 behind Teddy Swims’ Lose Control, Boone’s emotional ballad bounced right back — now marking its 13th nonconsecutive week at the summit and an impressive 73 total weeks on the chart.
The song, which turned Boone into a household name, first hit No. 1 in March and has refused to fade. It most recently held the top position just a few weeks ago and now, it’s back on top.
Boone Owns the Adult Contemporary Chart
In total, Benson Boone currently has three songs on the Adult Contemporary chart:
- Beautiful Things – No. 1
- Sorry, I’m Here for Someone Else – New peak at No. 11
- Mystical Magical – Debuts at No. 25
All three tracks are featured on Boone’s sophomore album American Heart, which is still holding strong months after its release, even as it slips slightly on streaming charts. Collectively, Boone’s music now appears on all three of Billboard’s pop radio rankings and the all-genre Radio Songs tally.
With his tour continuing across North America, the UK, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand through early 2025, Boone is showing no signs of slowing down or covering up.
