Cosmic (stylized in all caps)[1] is the debut studio album by American singer-songwriter Bazzi, released on April 12, 2018 through Bazzi's imprint, iamcosmic, and Atlantic.[2]

The album has peaked at number 14 on the US Billboard 200 chart and has been listed on a variety of international charts. The album was further affected by the commercial success of "Mine", which peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Background[edit]

Bazzi released several tracks in 2016 and 2017, including "Alone", "Beautiful", and "Sober."[3][4] In October 2017, he released "Mine" via Atlantic Records.[5][6] That song increased in popularity after it was used as a Snapchat lens filter in January 2018. It peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.[7] On March 22, 2018, Bazzi announced the release date for his debut album as April 12. This came after the release of three more singles, "Why?," "Gone," and "Honest."[8][9] On August 2, 2018, he released a remix of "Beautiful" featuring Cuban-American singer Camila Cabello.
