MALONE'S "ROCKSTAR" SETS APPLE MUSIC STREAMING RECORD

Post Malone’s “Rockstar” f/21 Savage has shattered Apple Music’s first-week streaming record with more than 25 million global streams. Apple Music had a 56% market share of total first week streams in the U.S. and 41% of total global streams.

In an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music’s Beats 1, Republic's Malone said "I had finished the record a while ago and was looking for the perfect feature and I figured 21 Savage would tie everything in together. I figure it’d come out perfect and it did."

Check out the full interview below.
