Chart-topping collab holds No. 1 spot for record-breaking 25 weeks
Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s blockbuster hit “Luther” continues to dominate the charts, now sitting atop the Billboard Hip Hop chart for an unprecedented 25 consecutive weeks. The track, originally released in November 2024, has become one of the biggest hits of both artists’ careers.
“Luther” previously spent 13 straight weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and although it has since dropped to fifth place on that chart, its reign in the hip hop arena remains unmatched. The achievement sees Kendrick breaking his own record, set just months earlier when his Drake diss track “Not Like Us” led the Hip Hop chart for 22 weeks.
Lamar recently celebrated his massive year at the BET Awards, where he took home five trophies, including Album of the Year, Best Hip Hop Artist, and Best Collaboration. Sharing Video of the Year and Director of the Year with creative partner Dave Free, the rapper gave a heartfelt speech: “I always give my heart to BET… we represent real, true, down-to-earth music.”
Kendrick and SZA are currently on their Grand National Tour, selling out stadiums across North America, with international dates in the UK and Europe on the horizon.
