Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s “Luther” leads the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart for a second consecutive week. The song’s title is a tribute to late R&B icon, Luther Vandross, who is prominently sampled on the track. That connection has led to “Luther” dominating other Billboard radio airplay charts, becoming the first song to hit No. 1 on both the Adult R&B Airplay and Rap Airplay charts in the 25-year history that both surveys have been publishing. Other significant moves on this week’s Hot 100 include Chappell Roan’s “Pink Pony Club” reentering the Top 10 at a new peak of No. 8, while Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control,” sits at No. 9, spending its 80th overall week on the chart, becoming just the fourth song to reach the milestone in the list’s history.

Elsewhere in the Hot 100 Top 10, Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile” rises a spot to No. 2, while Lamar places three additional songs near the top of the chart, as “Not Like Us” falls one spot no No. 3, “TV Off,” featuring Lefty Gunplay, remains at No. 4, and “Squabble Up” drops five places to No. 10. Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” jumps up four places to No. 5, ROSÉ and Bruno Mars’ “APT.” moves up a spot to No. 6, and Billie Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather” jumps up a slot to No. 7. (Billboard)
