When Kendrick Lamar and SZA team up, you know something special is brewing. These two musical powerhouses, longtime friends and frequent collaborators, have a knack for conquering the Billboard Hot 100, the ultimate barometer of pop culture's sonic landscape. Their latest joint effort, the captivating track "Luther," has not just topped the chart – it has planted its flag firmly at the summit for an astounding ten weeks! This rare feat of double-digit dominance marks a significant milestone for both artists, becoming the longest-reigning number one single of their respective careers. But the story doesn't end there; with each passing week at the top, "Luther" etches an even more special mark in Kendrick Lamar's illustrious discography, surpassing the combined reign of all his previous chart-toppers.

"Luther" in its ten-week reign at the pinnacle of the Hot 100 has now outpaced the entire combined total of all of Kendrick Lamar's previous chart-topping singles. Before "Luther" arrived and took its crown, two of Lamar's tracks held the title of his longest-running number ones: the explosive "Like That" (fronted by Future and Metro Boomin, featuring Lamar's fiery verse) and his own scorching Drake diss track, the culturally seismic "Not Like Us." Both of these impactful singles commanded the top spot for a respectable three weeks each.

Looking further back in Lamar's impressive catalog, his other three Hot 100 winners – the pop-infused "Bad Blood" with Taylor Swift, the introspective anthem "Humble," and the high-energy "Squabble Up" – each enjoyed a single week at the summit. Adding up the reigns of these five powerful tracks ("Like That" - 3 weeks, "Not Like Us" - 3 weeks, "Bad Blood" - 1 week, "Humble" - 1 week, "Squabble Up" - 1 week), Kendrick's total time at number one before "Luther" stood at a commendable nine weeks. Now, "Luther" has single-handedly surpassed that, and with its continued strong performance across various metrics, its rule at the top may not be over just yet, further solidifying its place as a truly exceptional hit in his groundbreaking career.

While Kendrick Lamar is celebrating a personal best of epic proportions, SZA reached this landmark moment of a multi-week number one hit some time ago, thanks to the undeniable staying power of "Luther." Before this collaboration, SZA had already tasted the sweet success of topping the Hot 100 with two phenomenal tracks: the revenge anthem "Kill Bill" and the sultry collaboration with Drake, "Slime You Out." However, both of these previous chart-toppers enjoyed a single week apiece in the coveted penthouse. Therefore, the moment "Luther" secured its third week at number one, it not only became SZA's longest-reigning leader but also a single that had already spent more time at the summit than all her other number one hits combined. "Luther" has ushered in a new era of chart dominance for SZA, proving her immense appeal and her ability to craft songs with incredible staying power.

The widespread success of "Luther" isn't confined to just the Billboard Hot 100. This track has proven to be a true cross-genre smash, demonstrating its appeal across diverse audiences. In the current chart frame, "Luther" impressively holds the number one position on a staggering nine different Billboard charts. While it unsurprisingly dominates genre-specific rankings focused on the realms of rap and hip-hop, its reach extends far beyond those categories. "Luther" currently commands the coveted number one spot on both the overall Hot 100 chart and the influential Radio Songs tally, indicating its massive airplay across various radio formats. Furthermore, the track consistently resides within the top ten of an additional half-dozen Billboard charts, showcasing its sustained popularity and impact across different metrics. Notably, "Luther" has already spent time at the number one position on many of these additional charts, further solidifying its status as a truly ubiquitous and chart-ruling phenomenon. The undeniable chemistry between Kendrick Lamar's lyrical prowess and SZA's captivating vocals, combined with a production that seamlessly blends hip-hop and R&B sensibilities, has created a musical force that resonates with a vast and diverse listenership, making its ten-week reign at the top of the Hot 100 a well-deserved and potentially ongoing triumph.
