The Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef seems firmly in the rearview mirror as fans reflect on the entire beef to try and dissect who came out on top. But that hasn't stopped the songs from racking up millions of streams and radio plays. The pair occupied a full quarter of the Top 20 on the Hot 100 with diss tracks alone this week. That included three in the top 10, four if you include the Future & Metro Boomin song "Like That" that kicked off the beat in the first place.
At the very top of all of it is Kendrick's "Not Like Us" which debuted at number one on the Hot 100 with only 5 days of tracking. The song has been breaking Spotify records left and right including a record previously held by Drake for the most streams in 24 hours. Now the song has officially hit 1 million units sold in just 12 days. It's the fastest that any song has hit the milestone so far in 2024 surpassing hits from megastars like Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande. In fact, it's among the fastest selling songs of the entire decade so far to reach the milestone.
