Kendrick Lamar Dominates Top Five Spots on Hot 100

Kendrick Lamar took the top five spots on the Hot 100 this week as 'GNX' opened as one of the biggest hip-hop albums of 2024.

Lamar joins rarified air as one of just four artists to take the entire Top Five in a single week, the others being Taylor Swift, Drake, and the Beatles. The Drake beef resurfaced again just days into GNX’s release, with Drake filing multiple pre-lawsuit filings in New York and Texas, alleging that Universal Music Group (the music company for both of the rappers) conspired with Spotify and iHeartRadio to artificially boost streams and radio spins for “Not Like Us” to make the song seem more popular. Drake also hinted at suing UMG for defamation for allowing Lamar to call him a pedophile on the track rather than refusing to release the song.
