Kendrick Lamar is currently embroiled in a feud with fellow rapper Drake, while also making history with his album “Good Kid, M.A.A.D City” on the Billboard 200 chart. The Grammy-winning artist has seen immense success with this album, which has now spent 600 weeks on the chart, a rare achievement that only a select few albums have accomplished. This milestone solidifies Lamar’s status as one of the most respected and enduring artists in the music industry.
Joining a select group of albums that have spent 600 weeks on the Billboard 200, Lamar’s “Good Kid, M.A.A.D City” is in good company with projects from the likes of Adele, Bruno Mars, Eminem, and Michael Jackson. While the record for the most weeks on the chart is currently held by Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon” with 990 weeks, Lamar’s album continues to climb the ranks and may soon become one of the few to reach quadruple-digit stays on the list.
Queen’s “Greatest Hits” is another album on the cusp of joining the 600-week club, with 592 weeks on the Billboard 200. Lamar’s achievement comes shortly after AC/DC’s “Back In Black” also reached the 600-week milestone on the chart. Despite being released over a decade ago, “Good Kid, M.A.A.D City” continues to sell well, with thousands of units moved in the last frame, showcasing its enduring popularity and impact on music fans.
While “Good Kid, M.A.A.D City” has reached a significant milestone, it is also facing a decline in its chart positions. The album has slipped to No. 63 on the Billboard 200, as well as dropping on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and Top Rap Albums lists. Despite this, the album’s longevity and continued sales demonstrate the lasting influence and relevance of Lamar’s music in the industry.
As Kendrick Lamar’s feud with Drake continues to captivate the hip-hop world, his achievements with “Good Kid, M.A.A.D City” on the Billboard 200 highlight his talent and staying power as an artist.
