Can Kendrick Lamar Unseat Sabrina Carpenter At No. 1?

MIAMI GARDENS, FL - JULY 24: Hip-hop artist Kendrick Lamar takes the stage on the third day of the Rolling Loud Miami 2022 music festival at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. The performance was captured in a photo by Jason Koerner for Getty Images.

Kendrick Lamar achieved one of his greatest successes this year with a song that insulted Drake. The rapper's track "Not Like Us" quickly became popular upon its release and was a significant topic in the music world. Now, several weeks later, the song is gaining momentum once again and may have a chance to reclaim the top spot on a major music chart.

"Not Like Us" is currently ranked second on Spotify's chart in the United States. Lamar's song is aiming to reach the top spot as it continues to climb up the rankings, but it is up against strong competition from the most popular new artist in the pop music scene.

Right now, Sabrina Carpenter is still at the top of the list of the most streamed songs on Spotify in America. Her newest song "Please Please Please" is holding strong at number 1. Even though the two songs are close in rank, they are not quite tied.

This past Friday, June 21st, the song "Please Please Please" received 3.9 million listens in the United States on Spotify. Meanwhile, "Not Like Us" reached just over three million listens.

Right now, Carpenter is at the top of the list with almost one million streams. This is a significant advantage, especially since it's only for one day...but Lamar is gaining momentum, and his hit shouldn't be overlooked.

Lamar recently debuted his song "Not Like Us" during a big concert in his hometown of Los Angeles. The hip-hop star's show felt like a celebration, especially since his feud with Drake appears to be over, with Lamar coming out on top.

Amazon broadcasted the concert live for everyone to watch, and it quickly became a hot topic that people are still talking about. All the buzz around the performance has reignited interest in "Not Like Us," making it a big hit once again. Since the concert, the song has quickly climbed the charts on music streaming platforms and iTunes.

The song "Please Please Please" is currently doing great on Spotify, but its popularity may start to decline soon. After spending over two weeks near the top of the chart, it wouldn't be surprising to see it drop down. If Lamar can continue to generate buzz and streams for his song "Not Like Us" in the next few days or even a week, he might be able to catch up to Carpenter and reclaim the top spot on the Spotify chart.

The Drake diss track by Kendrick Lamar is gaining popularity due to his performance in his hometown, according to Forbes writer Hugh McIntyre.
