Well, DAMN. Kendrick Lamar continues to make noise with his third major label album, which has spawned some of the year’s biggest hits.
The first of those smashes is “HUMBLE.” which is the second-most streamed song of 2017 behind Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito,” according to HITS Daily Double. But that’s just the start for K-Dot’s impressive year.
Elsewhere on the Top 50 Audio Streams list, Kung Fu Kenny has “DNA.” (No. 15), “LOVE.” featuring Zacari (No. 27), “LOYALTY.” with Rihanna (No. 39), and “ELEMENT.” (No. 48), for a combined total of five songs in the top 50.
With this achievement, K-Dot earns the most songs on the list for any artist this year. Drake comes behind him with four: “Fake Love” (No. 17), “Passionfruit” (No. 19), “Portland” featuring Quavo and Travis Scott (No. 24), and “Gyalchester” (No. 47).
DAMN. is also making waves on its own. The double platinum LP is now reportedly the year’s most-streamed album overall, with more than 2 million SPS for the year thus far. Drake’s More Life trails at No. 2 with just under 2 million SPS.
Up next K-Dot is set to take his “DAMN. Tour” overseas. Taking to Instagram Stories, the rapper revealed the “UK/Europe Tour” is coming, though he has not announced any dates just yet.
