Kendrick Lamar adds to his collection of Billboard chart records not once, but twice this week as his latest studio album GNX and his SZA collaboration 'Luther' become the longest-running No. 1s in the history of the Top Rap Albums and Hot Rap Songs chart, respectively, on the lists dated July 5, 2025. Top Rap Albums launched in June 2004, and Hot Rap Songs began in March 1989.

It passes the previous titleholder, Pop Smoke's Shoot for the Stars Aim for the Moon, and its 21-week run that wrapped in April 2021. For its coronation week, GNX earned 31,000 equivalent album units in the tracking week of June 20-26, according to Luminate, an 8% decline from its total in the prior tracking frame. As GNX asserts its supremacy on Top Rap Albums, here's a review of the albums with the longest runs at No. 1 in the chart's 21-year history.

Joining the album achievement, Lamar and SZA's single 'Luther' snatches its share of Billboard history with a record 27th week at No. 1 on Hot Rap Songs. Lamar, however, keeps the baton, as 'Luther' passes 'Not Like Us,' which spent 26 weeks at the summit in 2024-25. The song's landmark week comes through a combination of 12.8 million official U.S. streams (down 8%), 53.1 million in airplay audience (down 1%) and 1,000 sales downloads (down 17%). As 'Luther' shuffles the leaderboard, let's recap the songs with the most weeks at No. 1 on Hot Rap Songs.
