Kendrick Lamar was officially the king of the charts in 2024, clocking up more number one hits than any other artist.
The Compton rapper has had a banner year, triumphing in his rap battle with Drake, releasing his sixth album GNX and being picked to perform at next year’s Super Bowl.

This has been capped off by Kendrick ending the year with more number one singles on the Billboard Hot 100 than any other artist.
Over the past 12 months, Lamar scored three number one singles with “Not Like Us,” “Squabble Up” and the Future and Metro Boomin collaboration “Like That.”
At one point, “Not Like Us” was also the best-selling song of 2024 in the U.S. and broke numerous streaming records.
Kendrick also recently made history by having three number ones in consecutive weeks on Billboard‘s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs Chart.
He achieved the feat with three GNX tracks: “Squabble Up,” “TV Off” and “Luther” which features former TDE labelmate and soon-to-be-tourmate SZA.
Across 2024, K.Dot has had five songs top the chart, another record in a calendar year with “Not Like Us” and “Like That” also reaching the summit.
It was also recently reported that Kendrick has been raking in the cash from his high-profile feud with Drake.
Luminate, the analytics company that powers the Billboard charts, estimated earlier this month that the battle between the Hip Hop heavyweights had generated almost $15.4 million in streaming, digital sales and publishing revenue in the U.S.
Kendrick is the clear winner of the two, statistically speaking, with “Not Like Us,” “Like That,” “Meet the Grahams” and “Euphoria” accounting for just over $13.4 million of that figure (almost 87%).
The Pulitzer Prize winner was also recently named the number one popstar of 2024 by Billboard, ahead of Sabrina Carpenter and Taylor Swift.
“What made Kendrick Lamar’s 2024 so remarkable was that he didn’t just remind us of all the reasons why he was so big at his commercial and cultural peak — he showed that he could do things we’d never even seen from him before,” the publication wrote.
“He showed that he was capable of hitting heights no other rapper had reached this decade, a period that had otherwise marked something of a downturn for the once seemingly indomitable genre’s mainstream prospects.”
