Kendrick Lamar Claims Career-Best Fourth Week Atop Hot 100 With ‘Luther’

Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s “Luther” tops the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart for a fourth week. Three weeks earlier, the single – whose title is an tribute to late R&B icon Luther Vandross, who is sampled on the track – became Lamar’s sixth No. 1 and SZA’s third.

Lamar rewrites his longest Hot 100 domination. He previously reigned for three nonconsecutive weeks with “Not Like Us” between last May and this February, and for three weeks in a row last April with “Like That,” with Future and Metro Boomin. (His other No. 1s led for a week each: “Squabble Up,” in December; “Humble.,” in 2017; and Taylor Swift’s “Bad Blood,” on which he’s featured, in 2015.)

SZA extends her longest No. 1 Hot 100 stay. She previously topped the chart for a week each as featured on Drake’s “Slime You Out” and with her own “Kill Bill,” both in 2023.

Plus, Lamar logs three songs in the Hot 100’s top five for a sixth week, as “Not Like Us” holds at No. 3 and “TV Off,” featuring Lefty Gunplay, dips 4-5. He ties Drake for the most weeks tripling up in the top five among soloists all-time; overall, only The Beatles have more (eight).
