Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” Breaks Yet Another Chart Record After Grammys Submission

by

Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” continues to break records, as the Drake diss track recently became the song to spend the longest amount of time at No. 1 on Billboard‘s Hot Rap Songs chart across the metric’s 35-year history. For those curious, the previous title defender was Lil Nas X’s 2019 breakout, “Old Town Road.” In the latest tracking week, the West Coast banger streamed 17.1 million times in the United States, garnered 2,000 digital downloads, and received 45.4 million radio audience impressions. As for the Hot 100, “Not Like Us” remains in the top ten (currently at No. 10) in its 21st consecutive week after previously topping the chart.

Furthermore, this song’s continued success is well-timed, as Kendrick Lamar recently submitted it for the Grammys next year. The categories that “Not Like Us” might be nominated for are the following: Record of the Year (production), Song of the Year (songwriting), Best Rap Song, Best Rap Performance, and Best Music Video. He, Future, and Metro Boomin also submitted “Like That” for consideration in all these categories, save for Best Music Video. Finally, K.Dot producer Sounwave said they also submitted “Euphoria,” but it’s unclear what categories they submitted it for consideration for.

Not only that, but this comes as rumors currently go wild over a potential Kendrick Lamar album coming soon. This is because of a recent Bloomberg report that claims that he will go on a stadium tour next year. In addition to this supposed trek, the Compton lyricist’s Super Bowl halftime show in New Orleans next February also hints at a possible rollout on the way. Fingers crossed…

In fact, the Bloomberg report claims that both Kendrick Lamar and Rihanna turned down headlining at Coachella in 2025. While the piece attributes Kendrick’s decision to his supposedly upcoming tour and Super Bowl slot, no such explanation emerged for RiRi other than a growing business empire, plus a growing family. As such, we’re still in the dark when it comes to the pgLang creative’s next moves. But it’s clear that a lot of people are still enjoying the heck out of “Not Like Us” in the meantime.

There is probably a decent number of people who are sick of hearing about Kendrick Lamar and “Not Like Us”. We can see where those hip-hop fans are coming from to some degree, as the track is everywhere. Plus, him being the headliner at this year’s Super Bowl has also set most of the internet off. But it’s hard to deny K. Dot’s success in 2024 and ignore what he’s doing for the genre. The song has been unifying in the eyes of West Coast MCs and the fact it’s also a part of a massive battle in rap’s history makes it that much more special.

It’s also just insanely catchy, making it a streaming darling. Since its release back in early May it’s been breaking records every other week, or at least it seems that way. It’s already the best-selling single of 2024, and it’s well on its way to eclipsing one billion streams. It may even do so by end of the year. As it stands, Kung Fu Kenny has racked up over 810 million plays.

Now, we are learning that the Drake diss track has tied a chart record. According to Genius, “Not Like Us” is knotted up with Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus’ 2019 smash “Old Town Road” for the most consecutive weeks atop the Billboard Hot Rap Songs chart. That number is 20 and overall, it’s been on that list for 21 weeks. Some were showing love to Lamar for the achievement, while others (Drake stans) were poo-pooing it. Overall, we expect him and the track to break this record and many with just two months to go.
