Tetris Kelly:
We’re counting down the year’s biggest acts on Billboard’s Top Artists chart for 2024, and at No. 10? Kendrick Lamar! The West Coast native has had a huge 2024. His hit diss track “Not Like Us” broke the record for the most weeks at No. 1 on the Hot Rap Songs chart, with 25 weeks in the top spot. During the 2024 chart year, four of Lamar’s previous albums – ‘Good Kid, M.A.A.D City,’ ‘To Pimp a Butterfly,’ ‘DAMN.’ and ‘Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers’ – all spent time on the Billboard 200, with ‘Good Kid’ and ‘DAMN.’ both getting back into the top 20. And speaking of chart-topping artists, don’t forget to tune in to our Billboard Music Award Pre-Show special on December 12! And stay tuned for the main show on Thursday, Dec. 12 at 8:00 PM ET/PT on FOX and Fire TV channels, and on-demand on Paramount+.
