Kendrick Lamar’s Latest hit “Luther,” The Rapper’s Standout Collaboration with SZA and one of the Breakout Singles from his GNX Album, has turned into a career-defining smash. The track, which already looked like a hit from the moment it debuted, has since morphed into something much bigger. This frame, it rises to the top spot on yet another Billboard Tally, adding to its already massive run and hitting a milestone that few tracks by any artist manage.
“Luther” is No. 1 on 10 Billboard Charts
Right now, “Luther” reigns supreme on 10 different Billboard Rankings. Such an incredible feat highlights the cut’s cross-platform, cross-genre appeal. It’s selling well, racking up millions of streams, and dominating radio stations across the country.
It’s leading charts that measure overall consumption, as well as both format- and genre-specific tallies as well. That kind of across-the-board success is rare, even for a name as powerful as Lamar. What makes this show all the more impressive is that, despite already spending weeks at No. 1 on many of these lists, “Luther” doesn’t appear to be slowing down.
Kendrick Lamar and Sza Hit No. 1 on radio songs
“Luther” rises to No. 1 on the radio songs chart this week, reaching the summit for the first time. The ranking is widely regarded as one of Billboard’s Most competitive, as it measures which tracks are reaching the largest audience across all US radio formats, regardless of genre or language.
The Cut Climbs from No. 2 to the top spot, unseating last week’s champion – “Die with a smile” by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars – and proving that the R & B-leaning cut has widespread radio appeal.
“Luther” returns to the Summit on Several Charts
In addition to conquering the all-genre radio songs chart, “Luther” also bounces back to No. 1 ON BOTH THE MAINSTREAM R & B / HIP-HOP AIRPLAY AND RAP AIRPLAY Rankings. At the same time, the duet holds steady at No. 1 On The R & B / Hip-Hop Airplay Chart, where it’s been performing well for weeks.
Kendrick Lamar and SZA Lead the Hot 100
“Luther” continues to dominate six addital Billboard Tallies: The Hot 100, Hot R & B / Hip-Hop Songs, R & B / Hip-Hop Streaming Songs, Hot Rap Songs, Rap Streaming Songs, And The Overall Streaming Songs Chart. The cut has ruled the hot 100, the most important songs ranking in the country, for seven frames, and could easily add to that sum.
“Luther” is close to the top spot
Even Beyond the charts it currently leads, “Luther” is pushing higher on other rankings. The cut is presently sitting inside the top five on Five Additional Billboard Charts. The tune has previously ruled some of them, while others, like the pop airplay list, it hasn’t yet managed to command. But that could change soon, if the track keeps building momentum the way it has been.
