Just in time to go under the virtual Christmas tree, Post Malone and Bad Bunny have dropped new music, and both have zoomed to #1 at iTunes (on the single and album sides, respectively). Post also holds the #2 track. Bunny's album is Top 10 at Apple Music.
Republic's Post goosed his socials with advance word he'd be dropping new single "Wow" at midnight on 12/24; Latin superstar Bad Bunny similarly teased new full-length X 100PRE (Rimas Entertainment) before dropping it at the same time. The 15-track set includes "MÍA" f/Drake (which first surfaced in October) and "200 MPH" f/Diplo.
Post has been dominating the streaming sphere pretty much constantly over the last year-plus, following up his smash album beerbongs & bentleys with another hit, "Sunflower," from Republic's Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse ST (which remains the #1 track on Spotify's U.S. Top 50 and was the top song at iTunes before "Wow" dropped).
