That's the opening for the visual for Post Malone's now-top five Billboard Hot 100 single, "Wow." which recently resumed climbing the charts. The track, which dropped back in December, debuted on the chart at number 47, but it's continued to rise with the help of the release of his remix featuring Tyga and Roddy Ricch.

Also aiding in the latest "Wow." chatter is the viral video that's been circulating of Mike Alancourt, the 43-year-old dancer who was recently featured on the Ellen show. The visual follows Malone as he travels the world performing for sold out crowds, and Alancourt even makes a fancy-footed cameo in the music video that also features the Red Hot Chili Peppers and DJ Khaled. Malone loves Alacourt's dance moves, calling him a "legend," and has him perform throughout the visual and also onstage at one of his concerts. The viral come up!
