The streams haven’t slowed down either, and the first-week stream counts available after a few more days could see more moments of streaming history made, with Malone likely to keep smashing records.
Earlier this year, TMN took Hot 100 and Shazam Chart data into how Post Malone’s single ‘rockstar’ propelled the rapper to the peak of mainstream music culture.
