Kendrick Lamar's Not Like Us topped the US Billboard Hot 100 once again after his Super Bowl performance

According to a February 18 article by The Fader, Not Like Us made it to the top of the US Billboard Hot 100 chart yet again after the Super Bowl halftime performance by the singer himself. It had previously topped the chart after its debut last year.

The diss track bagged the top position for the second time when the music video had released in July 2024. According to the outlet, a week before the Super Bowl halftime show, the song had secured 15th position on the chart.

The halftime show led to several tracks by Lamar to hit back into the chart including Luther, TV Off, Squabble Up, and 30 for 30.

Lamar has also won five Grammys this year for Not Like Us in the following categories: Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Rap Performance, Best Rap Song, and Best Music Video.

While the diss track has gained much attention since its release, it has also become a subject of controversy. Drake sued UMG for apparently promoting it with the intent to hurt his reputation. The Canadian rapper, however, did not aim the suit at Kendrick Lamar.
