Post Malone set a new record for most streams in a week and established the best-selling week of 2018 as the rapper's Beerbongs & Bentleys opened atop the Billboard 200.

The album opened with 461,000 total copies in its first week of availability, with the majority of that total the result of a record-breaking 288,000 streaming equivalent albums, or SEAs. In total, tracks from Beerbongs & Bentleys were streamed over 431 million times this week to cruise past the previous record holder, Drake's More Life, which accumulated nearly 385 million streams upon its release in March 2017, Billboard reports.
