Kendrick Lamar‘s chart-topping diss track “Not Like Us” has now reached an entire year on the Billboard Hot 100.
In attaining the astonishing landmark, it has become the first ever rap song to spend 52 consecutive weeks on the chart.
No other Hip Hop song has spent more than a year on the chart.
Despite being released last May, “Not Like Us” still sits at number 22 on the chart and shows no signs of dropping off any time soon as it continues to still notch up airplay and impressive streaming numbers.

Kendrick Lamar has been breaking records left and right over the last year, ever since the start of his feud with Drake.
He recently got to celebrate the fact that he put on the highest grossing show by a Black man in history.

The feat occurred at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on April 26, where his Grand National Tour (co-headlined by SZA) brought in a whopping $11.822 million in a single night.
The record was previously held by The Weeknd, who grossed $9.8 million at his 2022 concert at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.
Earlier in the tour, Kendrick had already broken the record for highest grossing rap concert, an honor previously held by Eminem from when he toured Australia in 2019.
