istan4badgalriri Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Quote XXXTentacion posthumously tops the Billboard Hot 100, as his single "Sad!" jumps from No. 52 to No. 1 for its first week atop the chart. The song, which had first peaked at No. 7 on March 31, reaches the summit after the rapper/singer died June 18 at age 20 after being shot in Deerfield, Florida. He is the first artist to top the Hot 100 posthumously in a lead role since The Notorious B.I.G., with "Mo Money Mo Problems," in 1997. "Sad!," released on the Bad Vibes Forever label, and the 1,075th No. 1 in the Hot 100's 59-year history (and XXXTentacion's first), likewise leads the Streaming Songschart for the first time, surging from No. 34 (besting its prior No. 2 high), up 264 percent to 48.9 million U.S. streams in the week ending June 21, according to Nielsen Music (a higher sum than projected last week before all streaming data was compiled). "Sad!" re-enters Digital Song Sales at No. 5 (surpassing its previous No. 26 peak), up 659 percent to 26,000 downloads sold in the week ending June 21 (as it makes the Hot 100's greatest gains in streaming and sales). While the track has not reached the Radio Songs chart, it nearly doubled its airplay audience to 2.9 million in the week ending June 24. The song is from XXXTentacion's album ?, which debuted at No. 1 on the March 31-dated Billboard 200 and bounds 24-3 as the June 30 chart's Greatest Gainer (94,000 equivalent album units, up 397 percent, in the week ending June 21). XXXTentacion becomes the eighth soloist to have topped the Hot 100 posthumously, and the first in a lead role in over 20 years. https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/8462525/xxxtentacion-sad-no-1-hot-100 + Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedastardly Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 He didn't 'break' the record. He's the second (or so) person to do it. There's a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
