“My people, we are very happy to be No. 1 on Billboard with ‘Voy a Levantarmé,’ how cool, honestly!” Armando “Choco” Celis, one of Los Sebastianes vocalists, tells Billboard. “Excited and happy, really, thank you for sharing our music, because this entire song is symbolic, about personal improvement.”

“Voy a Levantarme” advances to the summit on Regional Mexican Airplay despite a 5% dip in airplay in the U.S. — that’s 5.8 million audience impressions logged in the tracking week of Feb. 7-13, according to Luminate. The song unseats Gerardo Coronel’s “CHSM El Hígado” from the lead. The latter manages to remain in the top 10 despite a 37% decline in plays. It drops to No. 9 with 4.1 million impressions across regional Mexican stations.
“Voy a Levantarme,” released Sept. 13, 2024, on Fonovisa/UMLE, gives Fonovisa its first win of 2025. So far, Universal Music Latin’s sublabel has reached a No. 9 high through Banda El Recodo de Cruz de Lizárrga’s “Coqueto Tazo Dorado” (chart dated Feb. 8). Fonovisa last secured a No. 1 when Los Tigres del Norte’s “Aquí Mando Yo” ruled Regional Mexican Airplay for one week last August.
As mentioned, Banda Los Sebastianes achieves its seventh No. 1 on Regional Mexican Airplay. Before the latest coronation, the Sinaloans placed one champ in 2024. The collaboration with Edgardo Nuñez, “El Humo de Mi Gallo,” held at No. 1 for one week in 2024. The reigning champ became the group’s only win through a co-lead billing.
“We love you very much and all this work is for you,” adds Javier Larrañaga, the group’s second vocalist. “Thank you very much for everything. We’re on!”
Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” adds another honor to a triumphant February for the artist, breaking the record for the most weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. The culture-shaping hit re-enters directly at the summit on the list dated Feb. 22 after its high-profile inclusion at Lamar’s Super Bowl LIX halftime show (Feb. 9) and five wins at the Grammy Awards (Feb. 2), including record and song of the year.
With its recovery, “Not Like Us” picks up an unprecedented 22nd week atop Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. It breaks from a tie with SZA’s “Kill Bill” to stand alone as longest-leading No. 1 in the chart’s history, which dates to 1958. The returning champ, which debuted in May and charted through November, is the first track to re-enter at No. 1; the previous return high was a No. 3 comeback for Juice WRLD’s “Lucid Dreams” on the list dated Dec. 21, 2019, following the rapper’s death that month.

“Not Like Us” wins its record week at No. 1 through a combination of 49 million official U.S. streams, 20.5 million in airplay audience and 33,000 digital download sales in the Feb. 7-13 tracking week, according to Luminate. The single surged by 156%, 31% and 432% in the metrics, respectively, compared with its results last week.
As the record of the year winner rewrites the record books, here’s a look at the longest-running No. 1 hits on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart:
22, “Not Like Us, Kendrick Lamar, 2024-25
21, “Kill Bill,” SZA, 2022-23
20, “Old Town Road,” Lil Nas X feat. Billy Ray Cyrus, 2019
18, “Industry Baby,” Lil Nas X & Jack Harlow, 2021-22
18, “One Dance,” Drake feat. WizKid & Kyla, 2016
16, “Blurred Lines,” Robin Thicke feat. T.I. + Pharrell, 2013
15, “Be Without You,” Mary J. Blige, 2006
15, “Lovin on Me,” Jack Harlow, 2023-24
Elsewhere, “Not Like Us” re-enters at No. 1 on the Hot Rap Songs chart to secure a record-extending 26th week in charge, while it flies 15-1 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 for a third leading week.

“Not Like Us” leads a parade of 17 Lamar tracks on the 50-position Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, including a full occupation of the top six slots. Former champs “Luther,” with SZA, “TV Off,” featuring Lefty Gunplay, and “Squabble Up” book Nos. 2-4, respectively, and each gains in all three tracking metrics after their inclusion in the halftime show set.
Another SZA-Lamar collab, “30 for 30,” climbs 6-5 despite not being performed at the Super Bowl, though as a current single, it continues to grow at radio and earns gains in other metrics from fans’ wider streaming of SZA and Lamar’s larger catalogs. Finally, yet another team-up from the pair, 2018’s “All the Stars,” re-enters at No. 6 following its halftime show presence.
With 11 of Lamar’s songs this week from his GNX album, it’s little surprise that the set rebounds 3-1 for a fifth week at No. 1 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. The album, released last November, earned 236,000 equivalent albums in the tracking week, up 264%. The sum also powers it 4-1 on the all-genre Billboard 200, where it captures the summit for the first time since its debut week.
Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” resurges to No. 1, from No. 20, on the Billboard Global 200 chart (dated Feb. 22), fueled by his performance of the song during the Super Bowl LIX halftime show Feb. 9. He also boasts five of the chart’s top 10.
Meanwhile, Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile” rebounds for a ninth week atop the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart.
The Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts, which began in September 2020, rank songs based on streaming and sales activity culled from more than 200 territories around the world, as compiled by Luminate. The Global 200 is inclusive of worldwide data and the Global Excl. U.S. chart comprises data from territories excluding the United States.

Chart ranks are based on a weighted formula incorporating official-only streams on both subscription and ad-supported tiers of audio and video music services, as well as download sales, the latter of which reflect purchases from full-service digital music retailers from around the world, with sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites excluded from the charts’ calculations.
“Not Like Us” drew 113.2 million streams (up 176%) and sold 39,000 (up 424%) worldwide Feb. 7-13. The seething diss track – which on Feb. 2 won the Grammy Awards for record and song of the year, among its five victories – adds a third week atop the Global 200. It debuted at No. 1 on the May 18, 2024, chart and became a pop-culture fixture, spending the next eight weeks in the top 15. It was further boosted by Lamar’s Juneteenth The Pop Out: Ken & Friends concert – in which he performed the song five times. It rebounded for a second week at No. 1 on the July 20 chart, following the July 4 premiere of its official video. The song’s 30-week break between No. 1 from July to this week marks the longest excluding holiday fare in the chart’s history.
Lamar also soars back to the Global 200’s top 10 with “Luther,” with SZA (12-4, as it returns to its best rank); “TV Off,” featuring Lefty Gunplay (27-8, after hitting No. 5); and 2018’s “All the Stars,” with SZA (74-10 for its first week in the tier, becoming Lamar’s 12th top 10 and SZA’s eighth). All four songs were also part of his halftime performance.
Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile” dips to No. 2 after nine weeks at No. 1 on the Global 200 starting last September and ROSÉ and Mars’ “APT.” backtracks 2-3 following 12 weeks on top beginning in October.
Plus, Gaga’s “Abracadabra,” unveiled (through a MasterCard commercial) during the Grammy Awards Feb. 2, bounds 10-5 in its second week on the Global 200 led by 78.4 million streams worldwide in its first full tracking week (Feb. 7-13); it drew 47.7 million from its release through Feb. 6.
“Die With a Smile” rebounds 2-1 for its ninth week atop Global Excl. U.S., with 107.7 million streams (up 3%) and 5,000 sold (down 8%) outside the U.S. Feb. 7-13.
“APT.” descends to No. 2 after a record 15 weeks at No. 1 on Global Excl. U.S. beginning in November.
“Not Like Us” leaps 27-3 on Global Excl. U.S., surpassing its prior No. 5 best; “Abracadabra” vanishes from No. 9 and reappears at No. 4 in its second week on the chart; and Billie Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather” falls 4-5, after three weeks on top last August. Plus, “Luther” leaps 19-7, after reaching No. 6.
The Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts (dated Feb. 22, 2025) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, Feb. 19, a day later than usual due to the Presidents’ Day holiday in the United States Feb. 17.

Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” blasts back to No. 1, from No. 15, on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart (dated Feb. 22), sparked by his performance of the song during the Super Bowl LIX halftime show Feb. 9.
The scathing diss track – which on Feb. 2 won the Grammy Awards for record and song of the year, among its five victories – adds a third week atop the Hot 100. It debuted at No. 1 on the May 18, 2024, chart and became a pop-culture fixture, spending the next eight weeks between Nos. 2 and 6. It was further boosted by Lamar’s Juneteenth The Pop Out: Ken & Friends concert – in which he performed the song five times. It rebounded for a second week at No. 1 on the July 20 chart, following the July 4 premiere of its official video.
“Not Like Us” leads the Hot 100 again after a break of 29 chart weeks (and 30 total, encompassing a week off the chart while holiday hits decorated the ranking) – the third-longest break between time at No. 1 in the chart’s 66-year history (surpassing two hits that waited nine weeks each between stays on top: Olivia Rodrigo’s “Vampire,” in 2023, and Miley Cyrus’ “Wrecking Ball,” in 2013).
Among all songs, the only longer breaks between No. 1 Hot 100 runs belong to Chubby Checker’s “The Twist” and Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” The former returned to the top after a record wait of a year, three months and three weeks, between 1960 and 1962, after it re-entered the chart thanks to new popularity among adult audiences; Carey’s Yuletide anthem has led for 18 total weeks, via annual reigns since December 2019.
Meanwhile, “Not Like Us” becomes the first non-holiday song to top the Hot 100 three separate times with breaks of two or more months in between each domination.
Lamar additionally ties his longest Hot 100 command, as he first led for three weeks last April with “Like That,” with Future and Metro Boomin. He has earned five No. 1s, also ruling for a week each with “Squabble Up” in December (thus, in between his second and third turns at No. 1 with “Not Like Us”); “Humble.” in 2017; and as featured on Taylor Swift’s “Bad Blood” in 2015.
Additionally, two songs reach the Hot 100’s top 10 for the first time, led by Chappell Roan’s “Pink Pony Club” (18-9), after she performed the song on the Grammys and won for best new artist and has drawn continued attention for her acceptance speech calling for improvements in artists’ healthcare. Plus, SZA’s “30 for 30,” featuring Lamar, leaps 22-10 after she guested during Lamar’s halftime show performance.
The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data, the lattermost metric reflecting purchases of physical singles and digital tracks from full-service digital music retailers; digital singles sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites are excluded from chart calculations.

Before Lamar, the last time a Super Bowl halftime performer was No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in the wake of their halftime performance was Justin Timberlake in 2018, when his Man of the Woods album debuted atop the chart dated Feb. 17. The set was released on Feb. 2, 2018 — two days before he headlined Super Bowl LII on Feb. 4 in Minneapolis.
There’s more Lamar action on the latest Billboard 200 outside the top 10, as his former leader To Pimp a Butterfly, released in 2015, jumps 167-54 and the chart-topping Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers, from 2022, vaults 185-75. Plus, the Lamar-curated Black Panther soundtrack, released in 2018, reenters at No. 42. The former No. 1 album includes a Lamar collaboration with SZA, “All the Stars,” which the pair performed during the halftime show.
Speaking of SZA, her own former No. 1 SOS rises 3-2 on the Billboard 200. This week marks the first time two performers from the year’s Super Bowl halftime show have been Nos. 1 and 2 in the wake of the big game.
Kendrick Lamar’s GNX jumps back to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, for a second week atop the list (rising 4-1 on the survey dated Feb. 22), following his Super Bowl halftime show (Feb. 9) and the set’s release on physical formats.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new Feb. 22, 2025-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Feb. 19, one day later than usual, owed to the Presidents’ Day holiday in the U.S. on Feb. 17. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.
According to Luminate, of the 236,000 equivalent album units earned by GNX in the week ending Feb. 13 in the U.S., SEA units comprise 117,000 (up 86%; equaling 161.01 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs; it jumps 4-1 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 116,000 (up 10,100%; it reenters at No. 1 on Top Album Sales for its first week at No. 1 on that chart) and TEA units comprise 3,000. The set’s 236,000 units earned mark its largest week since it debuted at No. 1 on the Dec. 7, 2024-dated chart with 319,000.
With GNX selling 116,000, that marks Lamar’s largest sales week for an album since DAMN. debuted with 353,000 sold in its first week (chart dated May 6, 2017). Of GNX’s 116,000 sold, vinyl sales comprise 87,000 — Lamar’s best week ever on vinyl. GNX was released on physical formats for the first time on Feb. 7, on CD, cassette and five vinyl variants.
As Lamar has three albums concurrently in the top 10 on the Billboard 200, he’s the first living male artist to achieve that feat since Herb Alpert on the Dec. 24, 1966-dated chart (when he, along with the Tijuana Brass, had three titles in the top 10). The most recent act, overall, with at least three albums in the top 10 was Taylor Swift on the Dec. 9, 2023, chart, when she had five in the region.
Before Lamar, the last male artist — or anyone aside from Swift — to have at least three albums in the top 10 at the same time was Prince, following his death, in 2016. That year, on the May 14 chart, he logged five titles in the region; and on the May 7 chart, he had three in the top 10. Prince died on April 21, 2016.

The first Top Gabb Music Songs chart of 2025 continues a trend that started with the inaugural ranking for October 2024: a new No. 1 each month.
This time around, it’s Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile” that tops the tally, debuting at No. 1 on the January 2025 survey as the most-played songs on Gabb Wireless phones that month.
