Ranking All 12 Songs on Mac Miller's Posthumous 'Circles' Album: Critic's Pick

The late Mac Miller earns his first top 10 success on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart as “Good News” debuts at No. 10 on the list dated Jan.

Mac Miller's posthumous album has topped this week's new music release poll. 

Ariana Grande has been super busy lately giving concerts around the world for her And while that means that Ari has been booked and busy for the past few months, it looks like she might have squeezed in some time to appear on her ex-boyfriend Mac Miller's posthumous album Circles.

Earlier this month, Mac Miller's family announced they were releasing "Circles," a companion to "Swimming," on the late rapper's behalf. In their social media announcement, the family expressed their gratitude to producer Jon Brian, who completed the album after Mac's death.

In a special For The Record segment, Genius' Head of Artist Relations Rob Markman reflects on the late Mac Miller’s legacy through the release of his first posthumous album, Circles. Mac passed away in September 2018, roughly a month after the release of his album, Swimming.

Mac Miller lives on in his music.

The new music coming out this week has taken fans by surprise. There's Eminem's unexpected album Music To Be Murdered By, a complete body of work from the late Mac Miller in Circles, and Halsey's genre-defying Manic.

Mac Miller passed away much too soon, aged just 26. On Friday morning, the hip-hop artist’s final, posthumous album Circles arrived, reminding us all of the talent lost.

A new album from the late Mac Miller is out now. It’s called Circles, and Miller worked on the album with Jon Brion. It’s a companion piece to his album Swimming. The album features the previously shared single “Good News.” Have a listen below.

Mac Miller had one final gift for his fans when he left Earth in 2018: a companion album to his Grammy-nominated Swimming.

Mac Miller’s estate just released his posthumous album, Circles. The tracklist includes the previously released single, “Good News”—and it follows his posthumous feature on Free Nationals‘ 2019 song, “Time.” This is the late rapper’s first LP since 2018’s Swimming.

If you were cynical, you might think releasing a posthumous, pieced-together Mac Miller album 16 months after his passing from an accidental drug overdose would be just one more part of the current death march of releases from deceased young rappers with pleadingly emotive lyrics and sonically rock-ist edges.

Last week Mac Miller’s parents announced the release of a posthumous album by the late rapper entitled “Circles,” which they say was recorded as a companion to his last album “Swimming.” The estate has announced listening events for the album at locations in Australia and his hometown of Pittsburgh.

Mac Miller’s family have shared a new video for his previously unreleased song “Good News,” as well as the tracklisting for Miller’s posthumous album Circles. Check out both below.
