It would seem the reason we have so much rap in the Top 40 is the sheer quantity of rappers who clock up a lot of Top 40 hits in a short space of time. Drake plus a number of British rappers are the most obvious culprits, but there are others such as Post Malone. This was Top 40 hit number 19 which came 5 years after his Top 40 debut.
He topped the charts with his 2nd Top 40 hit "Rock Star" and has topped the charts since, so another artists to score a number 1 and a number 40.
This charted as a result of his album "Twelve Carat Toothache" being released with "Cooped Up" and "I Like You (A Happier Song)" being the higher charting tracks.
Whether you'd call this a rap record or not is debatable. It was possible a stepping stone to him doing country music a couple of years later.
