Kendrick Lamar’s latest track, “Not Like Us,” has soared to the top of the Billboard Hot 100, surpassing Drake’s “Family Matters” for the coveted number one spot. This marks Lamar’s second chart-topping single of 2024, following his earlier success with “Like That.”
Released as the final salvo in Lamar’s ongoing feud with Drake, “Not Like Us” has captured both critical acclaim and commercial triumph. Its debut at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 is a testament to its widespread appeal.
In addition to outshining “Family Matters,” which entered the charts at number seven, “Not Like Us” stands as the pinnacle of Lamar’s diss tracks aimed at Drake. Produced by Mustard, the song joins the ranks of Lamar’s other successful disses, with “Euphoria” climbing to number three and “Like That” rising to number two.
The momentum behind “Not Like Us” is undeniable, as it smashed records for Spotify single-day streams in the rap genre in the United States. Falling just short of Drake’s global record, the track also achieved the second-highest debut week sales of any song in 2024, showcasing Lamar’s enduring influence and popularity in the music industry.
