Kendrick Lamar's “Not Like Us” climbs to No. 1, up from No. 3, on the Billboard Hot 100 songs, fueled by the July 4 premiere of its official video.
The track adds a second week at the Hot 100's summit after debuting at No. 1 nine weeks earlier. It became part of pop culture and spent the next eight weeks after its arrival between Nos. 2 and 6, including two final frames at No. 3. During this time, it was further boosted by Lamar's Juneteenth The Pop Out: Ken & Friends concert – in which he performed the tragic diss track five times – at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California.
(Only two non-holiday songs have logged more time, nine weeks each, between staying at No. 1 on the Hot 100: Olivia Rodrigo's “Vampire” in 2023 and Miley Cyrus' “Wrecking Ball” in 2013.)
Meanwhile, Lamar lands his first multi-week Hot 100 No. 1 on his own. previously led without paid partners for a week in 2017 with “Humble”. He ruled the Hot 100 for a personal-best three weeks in April with “Like That,” featuring Future and Metro Boomin. He earned his first of four No. 1s for one week in 2015, appearing on Taylor Swift's “Bad Blood.”
Also in the Hot 100's latest top 10, Morgan Wallen's “Lies Lies Lies” is at No. 7, becoming his 10th song to reach the territory.
