Kendrick Lamar has soared back to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart with his track “Not Like Us.” This Drake-aimed diss track logs its second non-consecutive week at No. 1, following the release of its official music video on July 4.
“Not Like Us” saw a 20% boost in streaming, amassing 53.8 million official streams, 40 million radio airplay audience impressions, and selling 8,000 units in the week ending July 11. This achievement marks Lamar’s first solo multi-week No. 1 on the Hot 100.
In late June, Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. confirmed that the diss track is eligible for the GRAMMYs, should Lamar and his team choose to submit it. Mason Jr. expressed confidence in its potential for nomination, stating, “I don’t see any reason why [‘Not Like Us’] couldn’t be” nominated or even win a GRAMMY. “Obviously, it’s a hot record, it’s amazing artistry,” he added.
Stay tuned to see if “Not Like Us” will make waves at the GRAMMYs and continue its reign on the charts!
