This achievement makes it the fastest diss track ever to hit the milestone and places it among the quickest songs to reach this number in Spotify history.

Breaking Down the Numbers

“Not Like Us” achieved 1 billion streams in just 250 days, trailing hits like Lil Nas X’s “Industry Baby” (191 days) and Drake’s “God’s Plan” (226 days). However, as the first diss track to cross this benchmark, Kendrick has once again set a new standard in the music industry.

Why This Matters

In the era of streaming dominance, this accomplishment highlights Kendrick’s unique position in the hip-hop world. Known for his lyrical mastery and bold messages, Kendrick proves he can capture both critical acclaim and mass appeal. The sustained popularity of “Not Like Us” months after its release is a testament to his relevance and staying power.

A Legacy of Success

This isn’t Kendrick’s first foray into breaking records. His previous albums, including good kid, m.A.A.d city and To Pimp a Butterfly, have all dominated charts and received widespread praise. With “Not Like Us,” Kendrick shows he can still push boundaries and remain a pioneer in the evolving music scene.

What’s Next for Kendrick?

Fans are now eagerly awaiting Kendrick’s next move. Will there be another groundbreaking album or collaboration? Whatever it is, one thing is clear: Kendrick Lamar continues to redefine the rules of hip-hop and streaming success.
