Post Malone’s “Rockstar,” featuring 21 Savage, became his first Billboard Hot 100 No. 1. The song was released in 2017 as the lead single from Malone’s second studio album, Beerbongs & Bentleys.
Produced by Tank God and Louis Bell, the track uses a dark, minimalist trap arrangement. Its repeated hook and 21 Savage’s guest verse helped it become one of Malone’s defining early hits. It debuted at No. 2 before reaching No. 1 the following week.
The song spent eight weeks at the top of the Hot 100 and earned a Grammy nomination for Record of the Year. “Psycho,” another Malone single featuring Ty Dolla Sign, also reached No. 1 later, but it was not his first. That distinction belongs to “Rockstar.”
