Kendrick Lamar’s achievement of 24 simultaneous #1s across Billboard charts is a huge milestone and showcases his incredible influence and success in the music industry. Beating Beyoncé’s record of 23 #1s set two years ago is no small feat, and it underscores the immense popularity of Lamar’s work, especially with the release of his album GNX and his hit song “Luther” featuring SZA.
The fact that “Luther” has remained at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks further highlights Lamar’s continued dominance in the music scene, solidifying his position as one of the most influential artists in hip-hop. His commercial success, especially after his public feud with Drake, shows how he’s managed to stay relevant and continually push the boundaries of what’s possible in the music world.
It’s also interesting to note that Lamar’s album GNX is currently the top album on the Billboard 200 chart, which means his artistic impact is resonating deeply across multiple platforms. His ability to juggle both critical and commercial success speaks to his broad appeal and the respect he commands across genres.
Lamar’s achievement not only highlights his personal growth but also further cements his legacy in music history.
