Post Malone’s “Rockstar” May Have Hit No. 1 Because of This YouTube Trick
Post Malone’s song “Rockstar” may have been aided on its ascent to number one on the charts by a trick used by Republic Records that involved posting a loop of the song’s chorus on YouTube with a link to stream the song on other platforms. The move most likely helped push the song up the charts because what would have been one stream now became two. The YouTube posting of “Rockstar” with the chorus on repeat has over 43 million plays.
