Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Not Like Us’ Makes Historic Debut at #1 on Billboard Hot 100 Chart

Kendrick Lamar’s Drake diss track, ‘Not Like Us,’ has soared to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 Chart, becoming his fourth number-one single and setting a new standard for solo rap success this decade.

Breaking records from the get-go, ‘Not Like Us’ has etched its name in history as the first-ever rap song to debut at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart without a full week of tracking, achieving this milestone with just 5 days of tracking this week.

Fueling its meteoric rise, ‘Not Like Us’ received a tidal wave of support on streaming platforms, particularly Spotify, where it not only had the biggest streaming day ever for a rap song with 13.1 million streams but also had the biggest streaming week ever for a rap song with an impressive 81.2 million streams.

Furthermore, Kendrick Lamar has controlled the global rap landscape with unprecedented authority this week, with ‘Not Like Us’ reigning supreme at number one, followed closely by ‘euphoria’ at number three and ‘LIKE THAT’ at six.

Kendrick Lamar, encapsulating his rap game dominance, boldly proclaimed in his verse on ‘Like That,’ “Motherfck the big three, n*** it’s just big ME,” solidifying his solo reign atop the hip-hop hierarchy.
