Kendrick Lamar is having a great week, topping the charts and announcing a tour with SZA
Kendrick Lamar has once again proven why he's one of the most unique and influential figures in music today. The Pulitzer Prize-winning rapper not only shocked fans with the surprise release of his latest album GNX but also shattered records across the charts, solidifying his place at the top of the music industry.
GNX debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, further solidifying Lamar's dominance. The album’s impact didn’t stop there. Five singles from the album made history by claiming the top five positions on the Billboard Hot 100, a rare and remarkable feat. These singles include Squabble Up, TV Off (featuring Lefty Gunplay), Luther (with SZA), Wacced Out Murals, and Hey Now (featuring Dody6). Squabble Up stands out as Lamar’s fifth Hot 100 No. 1 hit and his third of the year. To have the top five songs in one week is an accomplishment shared by only a few other artists in music history—Taylor Swift, Drake, and The Beatles.
In addition to these groundbreaking top-five hits, two more tracks from GNX landed in the top 10: Reincarnated at No. 8 and Man at the Garden at No. 9. This exceptional chart success further cements Lamar’s place as one of the most influential artists of his generation.
Adding to the excitement, Kendrick Lamar has announced that he will embark on a highly anticipated Grand National Tour in 2025. The tour will feature SZA, a frequent collaborator of Lamar, and will visit 19 stadiums across the United States. Kicking off on April 19 at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, the tour will continue with a stop in Houston at NRG Stadium on April 23. This tour will coincide with Lamar's performance as the headliner for the Super Bowl halftime show, marking an unforgettable moment in his already illustrious career.
With a combination of chart-topping singles, critical acclaim, and a highly anticipated tour, Kendrick Lamar continues to prove he is a trailblazer in the music world, consistently delivering groundbreaking work that resonates with audiences worldwide.
