00:00And now, the Hot 100 Billboard Chart,
00:04starring mostly Kendrick Lamar!
00:07And not Drake.
00:08Kendrick Lamar is crushing the Billboard Charts
00:11and joining some pretty elite company this week.
00:13So his new album, GNX, number one on the album chart.
00:16All 12 of the songs on the album
00:17are in the top 30 of the Hot 100.
00:19Is it good?
00:20Every song on his album is in the top 30.
00:23So, yeah, people seem to like it.
00:25So seven of the songs are in the top 10,
00:27but all the top five are Kendrick songs.
00:29Only three other artists in history
00:30have ever had the entire top five in a week.
00:32One of them better not be the Wiggles.
00:34We'll start rioting.
00:35Beatles?
00:36The Beatles did it in 1964,
00:38which is still incredibly impressive.
00:40Taylor Swift did it.
00:41And Drake.
00:42Kendrick's arch nemesis!
00:44And that's another win for Mr. Lamar!
00:46Kendrick's win is not necessarily automatically Drake's loss.
00:50Yeah, it is.
00:52If Drake drops another album,
00:54and it's really good, and it's number one,
00:56is it Kendrick's loss?
00:57No.
00:58No.
00:59Not all number ones are created equal.
01:01Like, Not Like Us is a memorable, memorable song.
01:03Squabble Up is a huge moment right now.
01:05A lot of Drake's recent number ones,
01:06Way Too Sexy, Toosie Slide, Slime You Out,
01:08no one remembers those songs.
01:10So what's to become of Drake?
01:12Will he ever see number one again?
01:14If Drake does, and he goes to number one,
01:17then it proves that they can both coexist.
01:19But right now, it only seems like it's one or the other.
01:22It was Drake's time.
01:23Now it's Kendrick's time.
01:24What do you think when Kendrick goes on tour,
01:26and he goes to Toronto?
01:28What is the vibe?
01:29If Drake is there, then super awkward.
01:32Congrats on owning the Billboard charts, Kendrick!
