Kendrick Lamar becomes the first hip-hop artist who will land three albums in Billboard Top 10 at the same time
Kendrick Lamar has the best month of black history in history. In fact, his calendar yr from March 2024 was quite unusual and well, the distinctions didn’t stop to build up.
At the starting during this yr’s Grammy Awards, Lamar He won five prizes In the case of its chart “not like us”-you can have heard-in this most desirable song prizes. Tune won each the “Song of the Year” and “Record of the Year” awards; He also won “Best Rap Song”, but I’m undecided if the category was at all times a contest.
The next weekend Kendrick Lamar the headline during the Super Bowl Lix break during the break in Nowy Orleana, where his program and Setlist were the subject of giant evaluation and web discussion. Regardless of whether people liked the series and symbolism (or comprehensible), Lamar’s performance had (perhaps) unintentional positive influence: per week from Super Bowl, three albums of Lamara landed in the top ten Billboard 200 chart of albums, Making him the first rapper who has ever achieved a feat in the 69-year history of the Billboard 200 list.
Lamara’s latest album, “GNX”, jumped from point 4 back to the top of the charts (where he debuted in December), “Damn.”, For which Lamar won the Pulitzer Award in music, jumped from 29 to 29 to 9 and his first album With a big label, a semi-professional “Good Kid, Maad City”, jumped from 27-10. Lamara “Pimp A Butterfly”, “Mr. Morale and the Great Steppers “and” Black Panther Ost “also saw jumps on the charts.
Taylor Swift in 2023 was the last act that placed (at least) three albums in the top ten at the same time; Swift placed five albums in the top ten chart on December 9, 2023. Before Lamar Prince he was the last artist who reached the feat after he passed in April 2016.
Therefore, the performance in Super Bowl will not be at all times guaranteed that the contractor will push the work to the top of the charts. The last artist who saw that their work was at the top of the charts after the performance of Super Bowl was Justin Timberlake in 2018 for the album “Man in the Woods”, which was released just a few days before Super Bowl this yr.
While Lamar’s success is deep in itself, his super bowl star, Sha, also saw her album recognized by critically, “SOS”, was created from the slot number 3 to the nest of the number 2, denoting for the first time two super super performers of the bowl occupied the #1 and a pair of machines on the highest albums after the sports event.
