Earlier this month, Kendrick’s presence in the music industry continued to dominate. ‘Not Like Us‘ was named the best-selling song of 2024 in the U.S. by Chart Data. This accolade came after the song achieved one million equivalent units in less than two weeks after its release in May.

Kendrick’s diss track has shattered multiple records previously held by Drake. Upon its release in May, the song earned the highest single-day streams of any rap song in U.S. Spotify history, with nearly eleven million streams in a single day.
In just 2024 alone, ‘Not Like Us‘ became the fastest rap song to reach 500 million streams on Spotify, dethroning Drake’s ‘God’s Plan.’ This track showcases Kendrick’s indomitable presence in the rap world.
