Slain Florida rapper XXXTentacion is making history beyond the grave.
According to Billboard, XXXTentacion’s song "Sad" is topping the charts a week after he was gunned down last week in Broward County, Florida.

Based on Nielsen Music tracking system, the single racked up 48.9 million U.S. streams in the week ending June 21. That, combined with 26,000 downloads sold and 2.9 million radio audience impressions, helped propel "Sad" to the top on the chart.
