Kendrick Lamar’s Streams for ‘Not Like Us’ Soar 430% on Spotify After Super Bowl Halftime Show

“The set, with its American flag color palette, largely consisted of tracks from his freshly released album ‘GNX’ as well as a few loosies from his deeper catalog,” wrote Variety’s Steven J. Horowitz. “With Jackson serving as a master of ceremonies (dressed as Uncle Sam, naturally), Lamar led a robust team of backup dancers who slipped in and out of formation as he toured his discography, giving renditions of “DNA,” “Peekaboo,” “Squabble Up” and “Humble.”

“The million-dollar question leading into the Super Bowl: Would he, or wouldn’t he, perform ‘Not Like Us,’ the song where he accuses his foe Drake of pedophilia, on the biggest stage in the world? Counterpoint: Why wouldn’t he? ‘Not Like Us’ was the most culturally important song of 2024, with continued dominance into this year after winning five Grammys including song and record of the year.”

Of course he did.

And as far as specific tracks, there were a few clear standouts from his setlist (9PM-12AM ET)*: 

• “Not Like Us” +430%

• “HUMBLE.” +300%

• “All The Stars (with SZA)” +290%

• “man at the garden” +260%

• “DNA.” +260%

• “euphoria” +260%

• “squabble up” +230%

• “peekaboo (feat. azchike)” +230%

• “luther (with sza)” +170%

• “tv off (feat. lefty gunplay)” +170
