Kendrick Lamar & SZA’s “Luther” Sets New Record While Hitting One Billion Streams

Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s unprecedented success in 2025 doesn’t appear to be showing any signs of stopping.

Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s hit song, “luther,” has crossed one billion streams on Spotify, according to HipHopDX. Having been released in November on Lamar’s album, GNX, it is the fastest song to do so on the platform. Lamar was already the previous record holder with his viral diss track, “Not Like Us,” which he dropped amid his Drake feud back in 2024.

In hitting one billion streams, it marks Lamar’s eleventh song overall to reach the milestone. His other tracks include “All the Stars”, “Humble,” and “Money Trees.” Outside of just streams, “luther” also spent 13 consecutive weeks at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Lamar and SZA are currently capitalizing on the popularity of “luther” by co-headlining the Grand National Tour. The run of concerts has also been breaking plenty of records as the two have been performing across North America since April. They’ll be heading abroad for even more shows, next month. The tour will wrap up in Sweden in August.

Lamar also gave a shout-out to SZA while he accepted Album of the Year at the BET Awards, earlier this month. “To my folks in the building, to my LA natives in the back, I see you. God first and foremost, my company pgLang, SZA in the crowd, we on tour right now, please come to the show. We gonna keep this thing going, I appreciate y’all,” he said on the stage. He also won Best Hip Hop Artist, Best Collaboration Video of the Year and Video Director of the Year.
