Drake and Kendrick Lamar‘s diss tracks hog the limelight on Billboard‘s Hot Rap Songs chart dated May 18, claiming the top six slots on the list.

Lamar’s “Not Like Us” debuted at No. 1 on the multi-metric Hot Rap Songs chart. The song logged 70.9 million official U.S. streams in the tracking week ended May 9, according to Luminate.

The song’s streaming sum becomes the highest one-week count for a hip-hop title, since YouTube song user-generated content was removed from chart calculations in 2020, taking the honor from Drake’s “Way 2 Sexy,” featuring Future and Young Thug, which racked up 67.3 million streams in its debut week.

“Not Like Us” also registered 5 million radio audience impressions and sold 15,000 downloads in the same tracking period.

Lamar also captures the No. 2 slot with “Euphoria,” which stays firm at that spot for a second consecutive week, thanks to 49 million official U.S. streams. “Like That,” which stayed atop for six weeks, is at No. 3 in the latest week.

Drake’s “Family Matters,” debuts at No. 4, riding on 38 million streams, while his first entry into the battle, “Push Ups,” is pushed 4-6 in its third week on the list. Lamar’s “Meet the Grahams” opened at No. 5.
