There’s not much shake-up in the Billboard Hot 100 this week, but Kendrick Lamar continues his chart dominance, making history yet again. While Drake’s “Nokia” sneaks into the top 10 at No. 10, bumping Lamar’s “Squabble Up” down to No. 14, the Compton rapper still owns the Hot 100’s top five in a way few have ever done.
Kendrick Lamar Secures Three of the Top Five Spots
Lamar currently occupies three of the top five positions on the chart, a rare feat for any artist. His collaboration with SZA, “Luther,” remains steady at No. 1 for the third consecutive week. Meanwhile, “Not Like Us” holds firm at No. 3, and “TV Off” (feat. Lefty Gunplay) stays at No. 4.
Lamar Ties Justin Bieber in Exclusive Hot 100 Club
This marks the fifth time Kendrick Lamar has held at least three top-five spots simultaneously, tying him with Justin Bieber for third place in history. Only a handful of artists have ever achieved this milestone, and Lamar’s latest chart triumph solidifies his place among the biggest hitmakers of all time.
How Does Lamar Compare to the Greatest Chart Kings?
Here’s how Lamar’s achievement stacks up against other music giants:
✅ The Beatles hold the all-time record with eight weeks of three top-five hits, dominating the charts in 1964.
✅ Drake has done it six times, making him second to The Beatles and one step ahead of Lamar and Bieber.
✅ Taylor Swift (3 times), 50 Cent (2 times), and Sabrina Carpenter (2 times) are the only other artists to reach this level more than once.
Lamar’s Chart Run Is Far from Over
With multiple songs still holding strong, Kendrick Lamar could soon surpass Bieber and even challenge Drake. Whether his reign continues remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: Lamar’s name is now etched in Billboard history alongside the greats.
