Kendrick Lamar's 2024 victory lap continued on 11/22 with the surprise drop of his sixth album, GNX (pgLang/Interscope), a 12-track project full of bangers, subliminal Drake digs and enough bravado to fuel an army. The seventh song, "tv off" f/Lefty Gunplay, is proving to be an album highlight and has become Shazam's Biggest Mover this week, bumping Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars' "Die With a Smile" to #2.
In the #3 spot is Kendrick's "squabble up," which got the video treatment on Monday (11/25). The speaker-rattling and undeniably infectious track is dominating at Apple Music and Spotify U.S., respectively, landing at #2 and #1. "luther," Kendrick's collaboration with former TDE labelmate SZA, settles at #4.
"Ghetto" by rapper E.K.E. and TruCarr wraps up the Top 5. The track—which recently went viral on TikTok—leans heavily on Akon's hit of the same name from Trouble his 2004 album Trouble.
