Will Kendrick Lamar ‘Squabble’ With Shaboozey’s Claim for 20 Weeks Atop the Hot 100?

Kendrick Lamar's "Squabble Up" from his new 'GNX' album looks to take the No. 1 spot from Shaboozey's "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" on next week's Hot 100.

The 12-track set follows his major moment in the spotlight earlier this year with his exceedingly high-profile Drake feud, which was essentially bookended by a pair of Hot 100-toppers: “Like That,” for which he appeared as a guest rapper on Future and Metro Boomin’s We Still Don’t Trust You album, and his own “Not Like Us,” an immediate hip-hop all-timer. “Squabble Up” is expected to lead the way for Kendrick’s new set on the chart next week – and with its robust streaming numbers, it should have a good chance at capturing the top spot – though it may have some competition from one of its album mates. “TV Off,” featuring Gunplay, has also emerged as a fan favorite from the LP, helped by its highly “Not Like Us”-reminiscent beat and viral-friendly “MUSTAAAARRRRRRD!”mid-song howl namechecking the song’s star producer.
