XXXTENTACION's "BAD!" made a major debut on the charts.

XXXTENTACION's posthumous album is reportedly coming at the top of next month. Over the past few months, several unreleased songs of his have surfaced including his Lil Peep collab and "Arms Around You" featuring Lil Pump, Maluma and Swae Lee. Fans got a little teaser of what to expect from Skins about a week ago when his estate released his first solo posthumous single, "BAD!" The song, like the rest of his posthumous releases, gained a lot of traction in its first week, leading to a major debut on the Billboard Hot 100.

XXXTENTACION's "BAD!" made its debut in the top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song is currently sitting at #16 on the chart and will hopefully, continue to rise on the chart. X's song serves as the lead single off of his first posthumous album, Skins. The song's release was also accompanied by the launch of a merch line.

Skins will serve as the follow-up album to ?, but it looks like it'll likely be the first of many posthumous records that X's estate releases. DJ Scheme, X's official DJ, revealed recently that the project won't be the last X album fans receive. However, he didn't really mention anything else about it.

In a recent interview, Mally Mall revealed that X's upcoming posthumous records might include features from Rihanna and The Weeknd. He didn't reveal if they would be featured on Skins, but we're hoping they are.
