Kendrick Lamar and SZA continue to prove their dominance in the music industry as their latest collaboration, “Luther,” officially claims the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100. The track, a standout from their GNX collaboration, has skyrocketed in popularity, recently surpassing 500 million streams on Spotify. This milestone marks Kendrick’s sixth time atop the chart and SZA’s third, solidifying their status as two of the most influential artists of their generation.

Kendrick Lamar Makes Billboard History

Beyond its commercial success, “Luther” adds another major achievement to Kendrick Lamar’s already legendary career. With this latest chart-topper, Kendrick becomes the first rapper to earn four No. 1 singles within a 12-month span. The three other chart-topping hits leading up to this moment were “Like That,” “Not Like Us,” and “Squabble Up.” This accomplishment further cements his place as one of hip-hop’s most consistent and impactful artists.

Meanwhile, SZA continues to expand her impressive resume, adding another major hit to her collection. As a duo, Kendrick and SZA have crafted some of the most celebrated collaborations in modern music, and “Luther” is yet another example of their unparalleled chemistry.

Kendrick Lamar Dominates the Billboard Hot 100

As if securing the No. 1 spot wasn’t enough, Kendrick Lamar has practically taken over the entire Billboard Hot 100 chart for the week of March 1. Alongside “Luther,” he holds multiple positions in the top five, proving his unmatched ability to dominate the charts.

• No. 1: “Luther” – Kendrick Lamar & SZA
• No. 2: “Not Like Us” – Kendrick Lamar
• No. 4: “TV Off” – Kendrick Lamar featuring Lefty Gunplay
• No. 5: “Squabble Up” – Kendrick Lamar

What makes this feat even more impressive is that “Not Like Us” had actually reclaimed the No. 1 position the previous week, meaning Kendrick essentially replaced himself at the top.

The Legacy of Kendrick Lamar & SZA’s Collaborations

Fans of the TDE alumni know that Kendrick and SZA have a long history of creating magical moments together. From their early collaborations like “Doves In The Wind” to their massive hit “All The Stars” from the Black Panther soundtrack, their artistic synergy has always been undeniable.

More recently, they teamed up for “30 For 30” off SZA’s SOS Deluxe: LANA, further proving that their ability to craft genre-defining records remains as strong as ever. With “Luther” now breaking records, fans can only hope this partnership continues to flourish in the years to come.

The Grand National Tour: A Must-See Event

Adding to the excitement, Kendrick Lamar and SZA are set to embark on the highly anticipated “Grand National” stadium tour. Spanning North America, Europe, and the United Kingdom, this tour will bring their chart-topping hits to fans across the globe.

• North America Leg: Kicks off in April and runs through June
• Europe & UK Leg: Begins in early July and concludes in August

Given their track record of delivering electrifying live performances, this tour is already shaping up to be one of the biggest musical events of the year.

Drake’s Presence on the Charts

While Kendrick Lamar and SZA are celebrating their latest success, another familiar name also made a strong showing on the Billboard Hot 100—Drake. The Toronto superstar, who has had a long-standing rivalry with Kendrick, saw two tracks from his collaborative album with PARTYNEXTDOOR, $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, land in the top ten:

• No. 6: “GIMME A HUG” – Drake & PARTYNEXTDOOR
• No. 10: “NOKIA” – Drake & PARTYNEXTDOOR

Although some fans have debated whether $ome $exy $ongs 4 U outshines Kendrick’s recent releases, the charts tell a different story. Kendrick’s multiple placements in the top five demonstrate that he remains at the peak of his game, with SZA also standing firmly beside him.

Conclusion: A Moment of Hip-Hop Greatness

Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s “Luther” reaching No. 1 is more than just another win—it’s a testament to their sustained excellence in the music industry. With Kendrick making history as the first MC to secure four No. 1 hits in a year and SZA continuing her meteoric rise, the two artists are proving why they are among the greatest of their generation.

As fans eagerly await their upcoming tour and future projects, one thing is clear: Kendrick Lamar and SZA are a powerhouse duo, and their impact on hip-hop and R&B is far from over.
