Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s “All The Stars,” the first single off the TDE-led Black Panther: The Album, has entered the R&B/Hip Hop Single Sales charts this week at #8. Bruno Mars and Cardi B knock Post Malone off his throne with their ’90s-inspired cut “Finesse” at #1 and Fetty Wap’s latest single, “With You,” earns the highest debut for the week ending on January 11.

Eminem’s Revival track “River” with Ed Sheeren made its way into the Top 10 of the R&B/Hip Hop Single Sales charts at #4 and Cardi B’s “Bodak Yellow,” who was at #3 last week, dropped down to #10 this week.

That Sza song is dope. I thought it was dumb as heck that she wasn’t on kendricks album TDE dropped the ball on that.
SZA was on Untitled Unmastered and Kendrick wasn’t on CTRL….it’s not about the roster, it’s about the records. I’m sure there are at least half a dozen collaborations between them that remain unreleased. TDE is about releasing the best version of the records they produce, with majority of the creative choices coming from the lead artist. I personally think SZA should’ve been in place of Rihanna on Loyalty, and it wouldn’t have seemed to matter, because the song wasn’t the predicted hit people expected…so….
Kendrick Lamar is GOD!
kdot was on CTRL. please stop saying trash
