Kendrick Lamar's GNX Returns to No. 1


Three months ago West Coast rapper Kendrick Lamar's GNX album debuted at No. 1 [click here if you missed that]. 

Now GNX has returned to No. 1 on the Billboard 200...

Kendrick Lamar’s GNX returns to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 for a third nonconsecutive week on top. The set climbs 3-1 (on the March 15-dated chart) with 90,500 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending March 6 (down 15%), according to Luminate. GNX debuted atop the chart dated Dec. 7, 2024, and returned to the top on the Feb. 22-dated chart in the wake of its physical release and Lamar’s Super Bowl LIX halftime show (Feb. 9).
Of GNX’s 90,500 equivalent album units earned in the latest tracking week, SEA units comprise 73,000 (down 15%, equaling 103.14 million on-demand official streams; it holds at No. 3 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 16,500 (down 13%; it’s a non-mover at No. 2 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise 1,000 (down 18%).
PARTYNEXTDOOR and Drake’s chart-topping $ome $exy $ongs 4 U holds at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 with 90,000 equivalent album units earned (down 24%; while it holds at No. 1 on Top Streaming Albums for a third week).

Kendrick is the first rapper this year to have the No. 1 album and the No.1 single at the same time.

How come Kendrick doesn’t have back to back platinum albums? I thought he was doing higher album sales?

@6:45 am Go back to bed....Everything Kendrick has dropped since Good Kid Maad City has gone platinum.

GNX being #1 again isn't surprising as I still listen to GNX on a daily. Congrats, K. Dot!!!
