The rapper's “Euphoria” climbs 11-3 this week, while Drake's “Family Matters” debuts at Number Seven
Kendrick Lamar's take on Drake has landed him at the top of the Hot 100 for the second time this year as “Not Like Us” debuts as the Number One song in the country. Billboard announced Monday.
The song is one of two Drake disses in the Top 10 this week, as Lamar's “Euphoria” came in third, up from 11 this week, while “Like That,” Lamar's collaboration with Future and Metro Boomin' that started the war in the first place. , took sixth promotion from eighth place. Drake's 'Family Matters', meanwhile, debuted at Number Seven.
“Not Like Us” quickly became the most popular of a series of diss tracks the two superstars released against each other last week, with Lamar unleashing incendiary lyrics calling Drake a pedophile and a rap settler. The song debuted this week with 70.9 million streams. The song also racked up another 15,000 traditional sales.
“Not Like Us” dethroned Taylor Swift and Post Malone's “Fortnight,” which has spent the past two weeks at No. 1 since Swift's release Department of Tormented Poets.
With the song now at the top, the question now is whether it has the juice to stick around at the top of the Hot 100 for another week, or if interest is starting to wane as the initial hype begins to die down.
