Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us" Returns To No. 1
Boosted by the release of the diss track’s official music video.
Kendrick Lamar returns to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart with “Not Like Us.”
His 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” received a 20% streaming boost with 53.8 million official streams, 40 million radio airplay audience impressions and 8,000 units sold in the week ending July 11. This marks Dot’s first solo multi-week Hot 100 No. 1.
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. He shared that he doesn’t “see any reason why ['Not Like Us'] couldn’t be” nominated or even take home a GRAMMY. “Obviously, it’s a hot record, it’s amazing artistry,” Mason Jr. said.
