Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s ‘Luther’ Tops Hot 100 for Fourth Week

NEW YORK, NEW YORK – Kendrick Lamar and SZA‘s single “Luther” has secured the No. 1 position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for a fourth consecutive week, a milestone that highlights the duo’s strong presence in the music industry. The track, which incorporates a sample from the late R&B legend Luther Vandross, has become Lamar’s sixth No. 1 single and SZA’s third.

Lamar’s extended success on the Hot 100 ties his previous record of three consecutive weeks at the top, achieved with his single “Not Like Us.” Prior to this, he also had a three-week reign with “Like That” in 2024, featuring Future and Metro Boomin. His other No. 1 hits have typically held the chart for a single week each, including “Squabble Up” in December 2024 and “Humble.” in 2017.

SZA, meanwhile, is marking her longest stay at No. 1 yet, having previously topped the chart for a week as a featured artist on Drake‘s “Slime You Out” and with her own single “Kill Bill” earlier in 2023. The collaboration on “Luther” represents not only a successful pairing but also a significant moment in both artists’ careers.

In addition to their No. 1 status, Lamar has achieved another milestone with three songs in the Hot 100’s top five for the sixth consecutive week. “Not Like Us” remains at No. 3, while “TV Off,” featuring Lefty Gunplay, dropped from No. 4 to No. 5. With this achievement, Lamar ties Drake for the most weeks with multiple songs in the top five among solo artists, surpassing only The Beatles‘ record of eight weeks.
