because he appears poor, urban, hipster, white, grunge, rock, pop, r&b, black, electro, vaporwave, memeish, and metal all at once...
but his songs are extremely trash pop so its the perfect storm

God ole coli. Kid Rock use to dj around Detroit. Doesn't get much more authentic then that
CAC alert
First and foremost, he's white
Dude was talking about "don't look at rap for nothing meaningful" or some stupid sh*t
You can't be white and promote no stupid shyt like that

To avoid being repetitive, he does have catchy melodies and the fact that he's versatile with his production in that he can weave through modern pop and trap works well for him...but I was actually thinking more into how he managed to get so big while driving with my son.
My son's 4. My mom's 73. They both know at least a song or two by Post Malone because they sing to themselves. I usually know something is a definite mega-hit when it reaches either of them. My mom randomly sings the hook "Congratulations" and my toddler sings "Sunflower", both are Post Malone songs...
The other day, I'm driving with my kid and I'm going through the radio. A song comes on and I don't remember what it was, but I changed it because I knew it was a bit dirty and I didn't want my little dude repeating wild shyt at school. When I switched it, "Circles" by Post Malone was on....and I left it because I know that song's pretty clean and harmless. Kind of dawned on me then, a lot of songs become huge because you can play them around your kids...and it bumps across demographics. You got poppy ballads featuring 21 Savage, Young Thug, Dababy, Swae Lee, and Quavo so it's on all stations. Smart move.
Dude's doing sing-songy tunes about heartbreak and relationships and it's stuff that can played at school or around older people, so it rides. Concert comes around and kids ask their parents for tix....well, sure...why not? As far as they know, it's the odd-looking guy from "Goodbyes" and "Better Now" and Rockin' New Year, etc....

This narrative of "Well he's white" has got to stop 
He's a guilty pleasure and half of the coli's GUILTY PLEASURE... like a b*tch you keep picking on but you know deep down inside you want her for yourself but can't find yourself admitting you do
Point blank, he MAKES HITS. Like it or not, they're catchy af and he does em well
he ain't my favorite artist but i can def understand why people gravitate towards him, there's a LOT of casual listeners in this world and he's easy on the ears. Being easy on the ears will earn you mad fans than someone trying to be deep af
a lot of casual listeners go to bars/clubs
a lot of casual listeners have money to blow aka the college crowd, when a song reminds you of a great time you had at a party, you're more than likely going to want more of that artist. Kid Cudi did that with his first album but didn't have to juice to be consistent like Post. It is what it is, the young crowd and their grandmas can listen to him

He really doesn't have that many black fans. Him doing songs with 21, Quavo, Thug, etc isn't for him to get black fans it's to give him more credibility with his white audience. He's the white guy cool with all the cool black guys so he's cool by association. That and it keeps his songs in rotation on all radio formats (pop, urban/rhythmic, etc) which helps his charting.
he is white is the correct answer!!
