Kendrick Lamar‘s “Not Like Us” has risen to the top spot on Billboard‘s Rhythmic Airplay chart dated June 15.

The song recorded a 22% surge in plays in the tracking week May 31-June 6, to move from No. 2 to the top, according to Luminate.

The sharp jump has earned the single the chart’s Greatest Gainer prize, awarded each week to the song with the largest increase in plays on rhythmic radio stations.

“Not Like Us,” which arrived on May 4 via pgLang/Interscope Records/ICLG amid Lamar’s feud with Drake, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, riding on 70.2 million official U.S. streams in the corresponding tracking week.

“Not Like Us” has reached the top of the Rhythmic Airplay in just its fifth week on the list, the quickest climb to the summit since Jack Harlow‘s “First Class,” which also took just five weeks to hit No. 1 in May 2022.
