In addition to announcing the Grand National Tour as the highest-grossing tour of 2025, Billboard also recently named Kendrick Lamar the top Top R&B/Hip-Hop Artist of the Year. That selection was determined by activity from the weekly Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts dated Oct. 26, 2024, through Oct. 18, 2025.
Helping secure Lamar’s dominance over the charts was his 2024 album, GNX. The project featured collaborations with a number of other artists, including SZA, Dody6, Lefty Gunplay, Wallie the Sensei, Siete7x, Roddy Ricch, AzChike, Hitta J3, YoungThreat, and Peysoh. It debuted at No. 1 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and spent seven weeks at the top.
His collaboration with SZA, “luther,” ended 2025 as the most popular rap song of the year. Additionally, his other tracks, “TV Off,” “Not Like Us,” and “Squabble Up,” ranked inside the top five. He also held the ninth most popular song in the genre with “Peekaboo.”
