XXXTENTACION just broke a record previously held by The Notorious B.I.G., according to Billboard.
Following the controversial rapper’s shooting death last Monday (June 18), his album sales soared and as a result, “SAD!” moved from #52 to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
It marks the first posthumous #1 single for a lead soloist since Biggie’s 1997 hit “Mo Money Mo Problems.” It’s also X’s only song to reach the top of the chart.
Nielsen Music tracking reports “SAD!” racked up 48.9 million streams, 26,000 downloads and 2.9 million radio audience impressions for the week ending June 21, resulting in the #1 placement.
The late Florida native also broke a global one-day Spotify record on Tuesday (June 19). X’s last album, ?, collected 10.4 million streams globally.
X was shot outside of RIVA Motorsports in Deerfield Beach where he was attempting to buy a motorcycle. One suspect, Dedrick D. Williams, has been arrested and two others are believed to still be at large.
A public, open-casket funeral will be held for X on Wednesday (June 27). [apple_news_ad type=”any”]
No comparison. Grown men rapping vs a kid singing/mumbling
Lol big wad a kid whene he made that song
Guess at that age one thinks a dude in his early 20s or just about anyone over 19 qualifies as grown men.
20 isn’t teens, teens is 13 to 19, hence the word teen after the number.
XXXtentacion is way better than Biggie. Biggie was not as musically diverse as X. Just a lyrical miracle rapper with no meaning.
Not as musically diverse?!?? Lmao.. BIG was light years ahead musically and obviously lyrically.
Biggie music was trash! Stop labeling this dude a legend when his body of work to speak the same!
It’s #1, yet I haven’t heard it all over the radio or out the window of every other car on the street?? That shit don’t count then.. B.I.G. forever
Get over it
Last time g was beating up his girlfroend
theres this new thing called streaming. look it up… oh ya you have to look it up on this thing called the world wide web also known as the internet
R.I.P X We love you all the time you make as see how life is?? He kill you for nothing
But you want for something I get it
Some people get it, I promise I will take your place to make people see how you care for them all time. I love man sleep well
are you SAD? sms xxx
Yes, Because I always want to do music wit him but now he is gone nothing changes
But is it better than that new Ye? YIKES??? I think not. XXX Sad AF.
Loved that song, the melody and accompaniment that is, the minute I came across that shit on Spotify back in March. Still press forward and/or get up out of the room the very second I hear it being blasted on radio. Now that its made its inevitable number-one peak, (predicted this would happen back in May but you’re not always right on time) I may have to do the latter a lot more often. Or perhaps a lot less often. Whichever the case will be, I definately won’t be the only one and at least now it will be for a different reason.
Pray that everyone makes it through this. Swear to God I was hoping he would too, especially after I came to believe he was guilty as sin. But sometimes you’re right. Fuck.
I’m a old head and I haven’t given ANY of these new hip-hop generation kids a time of day. This young man’s death hurt my soul. I wasn’t a fan before, but I have listened to his latest album and understand his message, pain, struggle and his pursuit to better not only his life, but the lives of young people in his neighborhood. THAT is what hip-hop is supposed to be about. He achieved this without his life, and his music will be appreciated in years to come.
Not sure if this is the record anyone should be aiming for. No pun intended.
I can’t stand Dick riding ass FANs or just people the jump on the bandwagon and act like they were longtime fans.It’sone thing to be interested but to full-fledged dick ride… is sickening!
who cares. Another Drake clown. Dude was wack and not a lyricist or dope rhymespitter.
False. He wasn’t Eminem with the pen but he damn sure isn’t Lil Yachty either. And Drakes a pussy but he isn’t un-lyrical either
He didn’t break the record he matched it? What did SAD! do that Mo’ Money Mo’ problems didn’t for XXXTentacion to break BIG’s record?
R.I.P.
Money, musical composition, record format, distribution and all that shit aside, it featured a feature. Two at that. Guest spots. Whatever the fuck we called em back then.
Let me try that again, think Cardi.
Would’ve addressed that first sentence, but I honestly couldn’t tell if you’re telling everyone a belief or asking nobody in particular a question.
Xxxtentation I always loved you but just to let you know I will still listen to your songs and you will always be in my heart
What a bunch of bullshit , people where just curious to hear tentacion song ,with all the respect for the deads he is no compare to B.I.G , the man was a LEGEND
Sad… noone even knew who this loser was until he died.. dudes a piece of shit.
Because of all that fucked up shit he did, and the charity work he was doing to make up for it, millions across the United States were talking about how unfortunately listenable the song was and how so many seem to not care about what was going on. Especially after Sad! managed to enter at #18 on the Billboard just ten days after it was released. Highest debut in the entire country, then moved to number 7.
Guess you one of those folks who believe you have have a number-one single under your belt or you’re completely irrelevant. I feel you.
In case you aren’t, I gotta say that I don’t believe you’re noone just because you’re ignorant of certain current events, discussions and contemporary public figures. Lord knows noone person can keep track of all this shit.
Dude was AMAZING DUDE WAS AN ANGEL SENT FROM GOD EVERYONE MAKES MISTAKES!!! X DID AND MADE A TOTAL COMEBACK, charity work and helping fans and people get through shit, he cared about others more than anything. HIS LIFE WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED AND CHERISHED AS WELL AS HIS MESSAGE. YOUR THE PIECE OF SHIT, CLOSE YOUR MOUTH.
“noone even knew who this loser was until he died” nobody knows you, or me, he was very well known and you would know that if you came out of the cave you call a home every once in a while and used the internet for more then trashtalking dead people.
Be refectful of the dead (and the living). We will all have our day to die. Humble yourself. Right now, this red hot second, acknowledge that fact, then think before you speak. You never know who’s going to give you your last glass of water. So, this could be a good time to start training the words you think and speak.
We should not wish bad opinion others its natural emerged energy’s that focus on used helping one another. true faithfully grace
You’re nobody till somebody kills you!
Loser?? What the fuck makes you think he was a loser. He helped out, he helped out so much. His life revolved around positivity near his death, and he changed people so much. You dont know shit about him, and that’s fine. But dont disrespect someone who has passed, especially someone who has done more than just talk shit to a dead artist.
