Post Malone is the man to beat these days as evidenced by this week’s Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard 200 charts respectively.

As we reported here, the ‘Congratulations’ star was deserving of just that after his sophomore album, ‘beerbongs and Bentleys,’ steamrolled over global one-day Spotify records (set just the week prior by J. Cole).  Going on to break global first week Spotify records and earn the record for “most first week streams in history,” those massive streaming figures, alongside some handsome digital downloads, helped the project to the year’s best first week sales (to date) at 461,000 units shifted.  His dominance didn’t stop there, however.

On the Hot 100 side of the pond, Post posted a whopping 9 songs to the top 20 – more than any other artist in history (a record also previously held by Cole).  Look inside for more:

Despite an era marred by slams of being of a “culture vulture” and dismissive of hip hop history, rapper Post Malone‘s newest album – ‘beerbongs & Bentleys’ – is seeing little obstacle to slow its course to the top of the Billboard 200’s week after next.

His sophomore set – featuring the chart-topping hit ‘rockstar’ and lined with guest appearances from the likes of 21 Savage, Swae Lee, Nicki Minaj, Ty Dolla $ign, G-Eazy, and more – is already eligible for platinum certification thanks to some major streaming milestones it accomplished ahead of its April 27th debut.  As if those massive numbers weren’t enough, Spotify took to press over the weekend to confirm the project has shattered its one-day streaming records – a record, mind you, just set last week by fellow emcee J. Cole‘s ‘KOD’ album (click here to read more on that).
