Written by djfrosty on December 18, 2024
With “Luther,” Lamar notches his seventh No. 1 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. Here’s a review of his chart-topping collection:
“HUMBLE.,” two weeks at No. 1, beginning May 22, 2017
“Mona Lisa,” Lil Wayne featuring Kendrick Lamar, one, Oct. 13, 2018
“Like That,” with Future and Metro Boomin, five, April 6, 2024
“Not Like Us,” 21, May 1, 2024
“Squabble Up,” one, Dec. 7, 2024
“TV Off,” featuring Lefty Gunplay, one, Dec. 14, 2024
“Luther,” with SZA, one (to date), Dec. 21, 2024
For SZA, “Luther” gives the singer-songwriter her fourth champ. Her roster is now:
“I Hate U,” one week, Dec. 18, 2021
“Kill Bill,” 21, beginning Dec. 24, 2022
“Slime You Out,” Drake featuring SZA, Sept. 30, 2023
“Luther,” with Kendrick Lamar, one (to date), Dec. 21, 2024
Notably, the “Luther” performers share custody of one of the most impressive distinctions on the chart. Both “Kill Bill” and “Not Like Us” reigned for 21 weeks, the most of any title in the chart’s history, dating to its consolidation into an all-encompassing genre chart in 1958.
