XXXTentacion has scored his highest position in the UK’s Official Chart, with his track Sad climbing up to number five.
The 20-year-old was shot dead in his car in Florida on 18 June.
Radio 1 didn’t play XXXTentacion on its Official Chart Show, even though he currently has three songs in the UK Top 40: Changes (22) Moonlight (17) and Sad.
The rapper has topped the US Billboard Charts since his death, amid a stream of tributes from huge stars including Kendrick Lamar, Kanye West and Meek Mill.
His personal life – which is maybe better known than his music – makes him extremely controversial.
