Kendrick Lamar's music is surging on charts all around the world, as February has been a massive month for the rapper. He came out as the biggest winner at the 2025 Grammys, and he headlined the Super Bowl halftime show, which gave him the opportunity to showcase both his newer work and some of his classics.
Fans have responded to these major events by snapping up everything in Lamar’s discography in huge numbers. Many of his songs, and every single one of his albums climb on rankings globally, and his incredible power is perfectly displayed on one chart in the United Kingdom this week.
Lamar fills half of all the spaces inside the top 10 on the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Albums chart. The rapper conquers the list of the bestselling projects in those genres, and many of his previous releases surge back into the highest tier once more.
The Grammy winner returns to No. 1 this week with GNX. The set earns its second frame on top out of only three periods spent somewhere on the 40-spot roster. Last time around, GNX didn’t appear anywhere on the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Albums chart, and now, it pushes The Weeknd's Hurry Up Tomorrow off of the throne.
Just a few spaces further down from GNX, Lamar establishes a winning streak with three consecutive bestsellers. DAMN., To Pimp a Butterfly, and Good Kid, m.A.A.d. City rise to Nos. 4, 5, and 6, respectively.
