Kendrick Lamar Has the No. 1 Album and Song in the Country

On Sunday (Dec. 1), Billboard unveiled the top 10 of the new Billboard 200 chart, which unsurprisingly showed K-Dot's latest effort has topped the chart. GNX earned 319,000 equivalent album units in its first week. This marks Kendrick's fifth consecutive No. 1 album. The new 12-song effort garnered 379.72 million on-demand streams and 32,000 album sales.

GNX marks the third-biggest debut for Kendrick Lamar behind 2017's DAMN., which earned 603,000 EAU the first week, and To Pimp a Butterfly, which earned 324,000 in 2015. It is the second biggest debut for a rap album in 2024 behind the re-release of Travis Scott's Days Before Rodeo.

K-Dot's new album features guest appearances from SZA, Roddy Ricch and underground Los Angeles artists like Left Gunplay, Hitta J3, Dody6, Wallie The Sensei and others. Dot released the surprise project without notice on Nov. 22 after dropping hints that new music was afoot over the past few months.

In addition to scoring the No. 1 album in the country, Dot's "Squabble Up" is the No. 1 song on the U.S. singles chart. He holds seven of the top spots on the chart including No. 2 ("TV Off" featuring Lefty Gunplay), No. 3 ("Luther" featuring SZA), No. 4 ("Wacced Out Murals"), No. 5 ("Hey Now" featuring Dody6), No. 8 ("Reincarnated") and No. 9 ("Man at the Garden").

Since a small child I always had dreams of being famous through the channels of music but as we all know, you have a better chance finding a needle in a haystack than to make it big in the music business! Growing up in Baltimore City is a challenge all by itself and adding a damn near impossible dream to the mix, makes the challenge even greater. This is the story of how a young inner…See More
