Kendrick Lamar Blasts To No. 1.

Kendrick Lamar claims this week’s Official Number 1 Album in the United Kingdom and iTunes with his sixth studio release, GNX.

The album, which dropped as a surprise digital-only release last Friday, has soared to the top of the U.K. charts. GNX marks the Compton rapper’s second U.K. chart-topping album, following 2015’s critically acclaimed To Pimp a Butterfly.

Kendrick has also achieved Top 20 United Kingdom placements with four other albums: 2012’s good kid, m.A.A.d city (16), 2016’s Untitled Unmastered (7), 2017’s Damn. (2), and 2022’s Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers (2), his last opus.

Physical copies of GNX are expected to arrive in early 2025. 

Mercury Prize-winning singer-songwriter Michael Kiwanuka secures the Number 2 spot with Small Changes, his fourth Top 5 album. In the U.K., 87% of Kiwanuka’s album sales come from physical formats, allowing it to top both the Official Record Store Chart and the Official Vinyl Albums Chart.

In the latest iTunes U.S. Hip-Hop Albums chart, Kendrick Lamar’s GNX holds the top position as well.
