Kendrick Lamar has reached yet another milestone following his Super Bowl performance: he has become the first rap act ever to have three albums in the top 10 of the Billboard album chart at the same time.
On the Billboard 200 chart dated February 22 (which reflects sales during the week ending February 13), the outlet reported on Sunday (February 16), K.Dot’s latest, GNX, will return to the number one slot. His 2017 release DAMN will be at number nine, while 2012’s good kid, m.A.A.d city will be at 10.
Lamar is the first living male artist to have a trio of albums in the chart’s top 10 since Herb Alpert in 1966. The most recent artist to hit the mark was, unsurprisingly, Taylor Swift, who actually had five simultaneous albums in the top 10 in 2023. In the immediate aftermath of Prince‘s 2016 death, he had three albums in the top 10, and then five the following week.
In this most recent charting week, Kendrick’s GNX moved 236,000 equivalent album units, while DAMN moved 39,000 and good kid did 37,000.
The rapper’s post-Super Bowl wins continued when “Not Like Us” received the Saturday Night Live treatment thanks to Will Ferrell and Ana Gasteyer.
During the sketch comedy show’s 50th anniversary special this past weekend, Ferrell and Gasteyer reprised their classic roles as music teachers Marty and Bobbi Culp to cover a host of modern hits.
In character, Ferrell introduced their unlikely rendition of “Not Like Us” by saying: “Are Kenny Lamar and Drake Graham in the house? By the way, maybe you two can hug it out tonight in the name of love and fellowship. No? Not in hell. Message received.”
The comedy duo then launched into a comedic cover of the chart-topping Drake diss track, with the Anchorman star, even saying the iconic and controversial “Certified Lover Boy? Certified pedophile” line.
Ferrell and Gasteyer also stretched out Kendrick’s witty “A minor” taunt into a lengthy, operatic segment.
The Compton rapper’s former TDE labelmate Doechii also featured in the Culps’ sketch as the pair performed a brief cover of “Denial is a River,” from her Grammy-winning mixtape Alligator Bites Never Heal.
While Kendrick Lamar did not appear at the SNL special, more than enough people saw him perform “Not Like Us,” among other hits, during his historic Super Bowl halftime show earlier this month.
The performance, which featured appearances from SZA, Mustard, Serena Williams and Samuel L. Jackson, was viewed by a staggering 133.5 million viewers.
He’s already projected to exit the top 100 entirely since drake put out his new album. It’s projected to go no.1 with 700k at least and his other albums are getting renewed attention to. It’s that good
