Kendrick Lamar has had the greatest February in music history.
Kendrick Lamar’s winning streak shows no signs of slowing down. Fresh off his historic Super Bowl halftime show, where he delivered the most-watched performance of all time, and his sweeping victory at the Grammys, where “Not Like Us” took home five awards, the Compton rapper is now poised to reclaim the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 with his album GNX.
According to industry sources, GNX is projected to sell 230,000 units this week, including 130,000 in pure sales—a staggering resurgence fueled by his recent high-profile performances. Grammy winners and Super Bowl performers often see a spike in streams and sales, but Lamar’s ability to do both within days of each other has supercharged interest in his music months after its initial release.
