Post Malone’s Beerbongs & Bentleys broke Spotify’s global and domestic first-week streaming records. The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart, and it looks like Post just scored another victory in addition to all this: “Better Now” has entered the Top 10 and sits comfortably at No. 7, while his Ty Dollar Sign collaboration “Psycho” has returned to its No. 2 spot from No. 5. According to Billboard, Post is only the 18th artist in Hot 100 history with three Top 10 songs simultaneously.
Meanwhile, Drake—who’s no stranger to breaking streaming records himself—has had “Nice for What” atop the Billboard Hot 100 for four weeks in a row now, since its debut at No. 1. Camila Cabello’s “Never Be the Same” has garnered the singer her third Top 10 as a solo artist, as the track moved to No. 6 from No. 13.
As for Drake, the man has spent 35 weeks total on the Hot 100 No. 1 spot, dating back to Rihanna’s “What’s My Name” in 2010. He’s broken several records, and has inched to number three of most weeks at No. 1 as a solo male, surpassing Sir Elton John, and tailing Michael Jackson and Usher.
Post Malone has come a long way in the past few years, solidifying himself as an artist with range and depth—and, perhaps more importantly to some, as a financially reliable one. Congratulations, Post. You’re a rockstar.
