Kendrick Lamar Makes Chart History with Top Three Spots on Billboard Hot 100
In a remarkable feat, Kendrick Lamar has achieved a rare milestone by claiming the top three spots on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. This marks the second time that Lamar has accomplished this impressive feat, solidifying his position as a dominant force in the music industry.
The track “Luther,” a collaboration with SZA, soared to the number one position on the chart, while “Not Like Us” secured the second spot. Additionally, “TV Off,” a collaboration with Lefty Gunplay, secured the third spot on the chart. This recent success mirrors Lamar’s earlier achievement in December 2024.
Joining an elite group of music icons, Lamar is only the fourth artist in history to achieve this feat more than once. The Beatles were the first to accomplish this in 1964, maintaining their hold on the top three spots for five consecutive weeks. Following in their footsteps, Drake has achieved this feat three times since 2021, while Taylor Swift accomplished the same after her first triple-play in 2022.
Of the three tracks, “Not Like Us” experienced a significant surge, climbing 13 spots to secure its third week at number one. These chart-topping tracks are all featured on Lamar’s latest album, GNX, showcasing the artist’s enduring popularity and influence.
Securing the top three spots on the Billboard Hot 100 chart is a rare achievement that few artists have attained. Ariana Grande is the only other artist to have accomplished this feat, albeit just once. With Lamar achieving this milestone for the second time, he cements his status as one of the few artists who have been able to achieve such unparalleled success.
Overall, Lamar’s dominance on the Billboard Hot 100 chart reflects his widespread popularity and influence within the music industry. With his latest chart-topping tracks, Lamar continues to showcase his talent and ability to connect with audiences worldwide. As one of the most successful artists of his generation, Lamar’s recent achievement further solidifies his position as a prominent figure in contemporary music.
