Kendrick Lamar Holds Entire Top 4 of TikTok Billboard Top 50, Led By ‘Not Like Us'
Kendrick Lamar's music has been inescapable on TikTok in recent days, a fact no better highlighted than the rapper taking the entire top four of the TikTok Billboard Top 50 chart dated Feb. 22, paced by his Drake diss track 'Not Like Us' at No. 1. The TikTok Billboard Top 50 is a weekly ranking of the most popular songs on TikTok in the United States based on creations, video views and user engagement. The latest chart reflects activity accumulated Feb. 10-16. Activity on TikTok is not included in Billboard charts except for the TikTok Billboard Top 50.

It returned, however, on the Feb. 15 chart at No. 17, spurred by uploads surrounding Lamar's Super Bowl Halftime Show performance that occurred on the last day of that tracking period, Feb. 9, as well as in the wake of the tune's five Grammy Award wins on Feb. 2. Now with a full tracking week (Feb. 10-16) following the performance, 'Not Like Us' soars to No. 1, becoming Lamar's first ruler on the chart, which began in September 2023. Many of the top uploads reference Lamar's performance of the song during his set or outright include clips from the rendition itself. 'Not Like Us' concurrently returns to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, as previously reported. It's also back atop Streaming Songs via 49 million official U.S. streams in the week ending Feb. 13, up 156%, according to Luminate. Nos. 2 and 3 on the TikTok Billboard Top 50 were also performed during Lamar's Super Bowl appearance: 'Luther,' his collaboration with SZA, slots into the runner-up position, while 'Peekaboo,' featuring AzChike, rises to No. 3. All three songs are from Lamar's 2024 album GNX. 'Luther' also benefits from Super Bowl clips, with many top-performing videos being reactions to Lamar's initial fake out of 'Not Like Us' into 'Luther.' And while 'Peekaboo' was also performed during the set, its top uploads are a continuation of a trend that largely proliferated in January, utilizing quick edits and poses set to Lamar's 'bing-bop-boom-boom-boom-bop-bam' lyric. 'Luther' rises 3-2 for a new peak on the Hot 100 dated Feb. 22, while 'Peekaboo' leaps 81-28. Lamar completes the four-peat in the TikTok Billboard Top 50's top four via a SZA song, as her '30 for 30,' a duet with Lamar, rises 8-4. That's a new peak for the song, which had previously risen as high as No. 5 earlier in February thanks to its trend highlighting Lamar's 'If it's f–k me then f–k you/ And that's the way I like it' lyric. How historic, ultimately, is Lamar's domination of this week's chart? Prior to this week, no act had even possessed two songs in the top five at the same time, let alone four of the top five and the entire top four. In fact, before Lamar, no act had slotted more than two songs in the top 10 in a single week, either. In all, Lamar boasts seven appearances on the Feb. 22 tally; 'TV Off,' featuring Lefty Gunplay, jumps 48-16, while 'All the Stars' (also with SZA) and 'Love.' (featuring Zacari) debut at Nos. 33 and 38, respectively. That's a tie for the most in a single week, alongside Taylor Swift, who had seven on the Sept. 23, 2023, ranking, the TikTok Billboard Top 50's second week of existence. It's not all Lamar in the top 10, of course. Two songs also reach the region for the first time, led by the week's top debut in Fergie's 'Big Girls Don't Cry,' which bows at No. 7. Despite the general sentiment of the song (No. 1 for Fergie on the Hot 100 in 2007), its rise is nonetheless concurrent with the Feb. 14 Valentine's Day holiday — but instead, it's used to show pets covered in lipstick smudges, set to the 'I'll be your best friend and you'll be my/ Valentine' lyric. Bertha Tillman's 'Oh My Angel' also hits the TikTok Billboard Top 50's top 10, leaping 16-10. Like 'Big Girls Don't Cry,' the song is buoyed by romance- and love-related content, whether it's showing romantic partners, friends, family or pets. BossMan Dlow's 'Shake Dat Ass (Twerk Song)' makes the top 10 for the first time since last July — and at a new peak, shooting 15-8. Its original run featured just BossMan Dlow's vocals, while its return is spurred by a trend to the remix (released last December) featuring GloRilla. See the full TikTok Billboard Top 50 here.

Ruby will feature 15 tracks, including her October 2024 single 'Mantra,' which reached No. 2 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart and No. 3 on the Billboard Global 200. In a recent interview with Billboard, Jennie reflected on the personal process of creating Ruby. 'I intend to complete myself as Jennie Ruby-Jane, for that to be a whole person, in a way,' she shared. 'You'll definitely know what I mean once the album drops, but because I'm playing with a lot of different genres and elements — I'm rapping here, I'm singing here, I'm harmonizing here, I'm talking here … The overall sound was me making sure I like every single [song].' JENNIE continued, 'I didn't want to be forced into putting a song onto my album — that's what I really fought for. And I was lucky to have all these people believe in me and support me so I could get to a level where we were like, 'Wow. I think we're ready.'' Listen to JENNIE's 'ExtraL' featuring Doechii below.
