Kendrick Lamar Breaks His Own Record with “Luther”

AirSpins Team February 20, 2026

Kendrick Lamar has officially outdone himself.

His latest smash, Luther, has surpassed the record previously held by his own cultural anthem Not Like Us, which dominated the charts for 17 weeks at No. 1.

Breaking someone else’s record is impressive. Breaking your own record? That’s legacy territory.

“Not Like Us” was already considered a defining moment in modern hip-hop — a record that shifted conversations, timelines, and energy across the industry. Now “Luther” takes it even further, proving that Kendrick isn’t just competing with his peers… he’s competing with himself.

In an era where chart runs are shorter and attention spans move fast, this milestone reinforces Kendrick Lamar’s rare position in music: consistent, calculated, and culturally dominant.

The bar was already high. He just raised it again.
