The Billboard Hot 100 for this week has finally been updated and as expected, Kendrick Lamar sees big success after the release of GNX.
Kendrick occupies the entire top 5 of the charts, and in total, 7 out of the 10 places. ‘squabble up’ debuted at #1, ‘tv off’ at #2, ‘luther’ at #3, ‘wacced out murals’ at #4 and ‘hey now’ at #5. ‘reincarnated’ and ‘man at the garden’ debuted at #8 and #9 respectively.
With this incredible achievement comes a few different milestones. Kendrick has now become the first Hip-Hop artist to have three songs debut at #1 in any calendar year in the chart’s history, with the other 2 of course being ‘Like That‘ and ‘Not Like Us‘. He’s also one of only 4 artists to have 7 songs chart simultaneously in the top 10, Drake being one of the others.
