"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.
