Kendrick Lamar in concert. Rochester^ Michigan - April 13 2013:

Kendrick Lamar has made history with his chart-topping album GNX  — which has become the longest-running No. 1 album to top Billboard’s Top Rap Albums chart.

GNX, which arrived two years after Lamar’s Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers, has topped the chart for 22 weeks — breaking the record previously held by Pop Smoke’s posthumous album, Shoot For The Stars Aim For The Moon which held the spot for 21 weeks.

Lamar and SZA’s Grand National Tour are also currently breaking records, becoming the highest grossing co-headlining tour in history. The Grand National Tour has grossed over $256 million, averaging $11.1 million per show and they’ve sold a total 1.1 million tickets across their domestic trek.
