The latest chart reflects activity accumulated Feb. 17-23. Activity on TikTok is not included in Billboard charts except for the TikTok Billboard Top 50. “Not Like Us,” which concurrently ranks at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 (39.2 million official U.S. streams, 20.7 million radio audience impressions, 16,000 downloads in the week ending Feb. 20, according to Luminate), maintains its reign as users continue to post footage of the song post-Super Bowl Halftime Show performance (Feb. 9). Uploads range from reactions to the song’s portion of the set to recreations of Lamar’s walk that kicks off the performance. In addition to usages of the original sound, many of the videos even utilize audio from the halftime show performance itself, with nearly 190,000 uploads using the NFL’s sound as of Feb. 27. Though the other three songs featuring Lamar from Feb. 22’s top-four dominance on the TikTok Billboard Top 50 drop anywhere between one and four spots, they all remain in the chart’s top 10. Lamar’s “Luther,” with SZA, falls 2-3, while the AzChike-featuring “Peekaboo” drops 3-7 and SZA’s “30 for 30,” with Lamar, moves 8-4. But a new challenger approaches Lamar on the March 1 survey in Imogen Heap’s “Headlock,” which leaps 24-2. Originally released as part of Heap’s 2005 album Speak for Yourself, the song has seen a major resurgence since the end of 2024 thanks initially to edits of clips from the video game Mouthwashing soundtracked by the song. A recent bass-shaking remix from ZAPIE has further boosted the tune, often with an accompanying dance trend.
