In September 2020, "Rockstar" became the second song ever, after Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You", to surpass 2 billion streams on the audio platform Spotify.

Critical reception

"Rockstar" received mixed reviews from music critics. Spin.com reviewed the song's unofficial video by stating: "The chorus loop may be a weirdly hypnotic, post-Vine marketing gimmick, but it seems like it worked. "rockstar" is both Post Malone's and 21 Savage's first-ever No. 1 single, meaning this probably won't be the last time an artist attempts to boost a track by distilling its catchiest section into a standalone product. Maybe, in the future, we'll all listen to seconds-long hooks on endless extended loops."{{Cite news|url=https://www.spin.com/2017/10/post-malone-rockstar-number-1-youtube-chorus-video/|title=Post Malone's "rockstar" Probably Went to No. 1 Thanks to This Ridiculous Video|work=Spin|date=October 17, 2017|access-date=December 3, 2017}} Spin and Time both named the song one of the worst of 2017.{{cite web|first=SPIN|last=Staff|url=https://www.spin.com/2018/01/the-worst-songs-of-2017/|title=The Worst Songs We Heard in 2017|work=SPIN|date=2 January 2018}}{{cite magazine|first=Time|last=Staff|url=https://time.com/5048308/top-10-worst-songs-2017/|title=Top 10 Worst Songs 2017: Katy Perry, Ed Sheeran|magazine=Time|date=22 December 2017}}
