(Photo by Christopher Polk/Billboard via Getty Images)Billboard via Getty Images Kendrick Lamar is having another massive week on the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Singles chart in the U. , which ranks the bestselling tunes that touch either of those genres

This time around, he stands alone, as he claims a trio of smashes inside the uppermost region — something no other artist currently manages

Kendrick Lamar’s Trio of Top 10 Hits Lamar is the only musician with three hits present inside the top 10 on the current edition of the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Singles chart. "All the Stars," one of his collaborations with SZA, is his highest-ranking win, as it sits at No

That’s an impressive placement, considering it’s the oldest of the bunch. "Not Us" rises one spot to No. 8, while "Luther," another song with SZA, returns to the region as it ascends from No. “Not Us,” “All the Stars” and “Luther” Both "Not Us" and "All the Stars" have already spent well over a year on the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Singles chart. "Luther" hasn't yet had that chance, but the collaboration will ly become another year-long winner for both SZA and Lamar once enough time has passed

It’s currently up to 32 frames on the tally as it finds its way back inside the top 10

SZA and Skye Newman’s Pair of Top 10s Two artists trail Lamar with a pair of top 10s apiece

SZA does so thanks to her work with her longtime friend, while newcomer Skye Newman sits in the runner-up spot with "Family Matters" while "Hairdresser" makes a at No
