Post Malone's "Rockstar," which features 21 Savage, didn't top the Hot 100 — it ended up at No. 2 behind Cardi B's "Bodak Yellow." But the new song, released September 15, did set a major streaming record, The Verge reports. The single racked over 25 million plays on Apple Music in a single week, breaking a record previously held by DJ Khaled's "I'm the One."
