Kendrick Lamar continues to break records.
Kendrick Lamar continues to dominate the hip-hop landscape, adding another major milestone to his already historic run. Today, it was announced that Kendrick has officially broken the record for the most monthly Spotify listeners by a rapper, hitting an all-time high of 88.8 million listeners.
This is a staggering achievement, especially considering the competition—artists like Drake and Travis Scott, who have consistently pulled massive streaming numbers, now trail behind Lamar. The surge in streams follows his record-breaking Super Bowl halftime show, multiple Grammy wins, and the resurgence of Not Like Us, which recently reclaimed the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100.
