Kendrick Lamar Beats His Competition With More Top 10s Than Any Other Act

Kendrick Lamar is having another massive week on the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Singles chart in the U.K., which ranks the bestselling tunes that touch either of those genres. This time around, he stands alone, as he claims a trio of smashes inside the uppermost region — something no other artist currently manages.

Kendrick Lamar’s Trio of Top 10 Hits

Lamar is the only musician with three hits present inside the top 10 on the current edition of the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Singles chart. “All the Stars,” one of his collaborations with SZA, is his highest-ranking win, as it sits at No. 7. That’s an impressive placement, considering it’s the oldest of the bunch.

“Not Like Us” rises one spot to No. 8, while “Luther,” another song with SZA, returns to the region as it ascends from No. 11 to No. 10.

“Not Like Us,” “All the Stars” and “Luther”

Both “Not Like Us” and “All the Stars” have already spent well over a year on the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Singles chart. “Luther” hasn’t yet had that chance, but the collaboration will likely become another year-long winner for both SZA and Lamar once enough time has passed. It’s currently up to 32 frames on the tally as it finds its way back inside the top 10.

SZA and Skye Newman’s Pair of Top 10s

Two artists trail Lamar with a pair of top 10s apiece. SZA does so thanks to her work with her longtime friend, while newcomer Skye Newman sits in the runner-up spot with “Family Matters” while “Hairdresser” makes a home at No. 4.

The Weeknd and Chris Brown Join Kendrick Lamar

Looking at the full 40 spaces on the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Singles chart, four acts see a trio of tunes take up space. Lamar and SZA are joined by The Weeknd and Chris Brown, who also manage the feat at the moment. Neither The Weeknd nor Brown appear inside the top 10, though both sit just a few spaces beneath the uppermost tier.
