Summary

  • Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” made Billboard Hot 100 history
  • It’s now the longest-charting rap song ever, logging 53 weeks
  • The Drake diss track previously broke streaming records and won GRAMMYs

Kendrick Lamar has set yet another chart record with “Not Like Us.”

Chartdata reports that the diss track has logged 53 straight weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, officially making it the longest-charting rap song in history. As of writing, “Not Like Us” sits at No. 23 on this week’s Hot 100 chart.

This isn’t the first time “Not Like Us” has broken a record. It previously dethroned Drake and Lil Baby’s “Girls Like Girls” to hold the Spotify record for the biggest single day streams of a hip-hop song, and was the fastest rap song in history to hit 300 million streams on the platform.

“Not Like Us” dropped in May 2024 and served as a diss track aimed at Drake. It was Dot’s third release in less than 48 hours amidst the rap beef between him The Boy. In the track, he alleges that Drizzy has a preference for underage girls and accuses him of being a culture vulture. It went on to debut at No. 1 and take home the GRAMMY for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Rap Performance, Best Rap Song and Best Music Video.
