American rapper Kendrick Lamar has achieved another career milestone, earning the title of Billboard’s Greatest Pop Star of 2024.

Lamar had a standout year on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, fueled by his highly publicized hip-hop rivalry with Canadian rapper Drake. The feud led to several chart-topping releases, including the hit single Not Like Us, which reached number one.

This achievement makes Kendrick Lamar the first rapper to receive the honor since Drake in 2018.

In related news, Mariah Carey’s All I Want For Christmas Is You has tied with Lil Nas X’s Old Town Road and Shaboozey’s A Bar Song (Tipsy) as the longest-running number-one songs in Billboard Hot 100 history, each holding the top spot for 17 weeks.

Notably, all the longest-running number-one songs in Hot 100 history are by Black lead artists.
