Lamar cleans up with surprise album, GNX
It’s all about Kendrick this week – the rapper debuts at #1 on both the Kōpae Tiketike 40 Ōkawa | Official Top 40 Albums and Tukutahi Tiketike 40 Ōkawa | Official Top 40 Singles pikitanga (charts) this week, with his new, surprise album GNX and 'luther (with sza)' respectively.
'luther' also tops the Hot Charts, the fifth time Lamar has done so, while another 11 tracks from GNX also feature in the Official Top 40 – a record superseded only by Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Travis Scott and Eminem.
ROSÉ's ‘number one girl’ takes #1 on the Tukutahi Arotini 20 o Aotearoa | Hot 20 Aotearoa Singles Chart, the second track from the Korean-New Zealander to do so, followed by new material from Teeks at #2 and Hori Shaw at #3.
We also mark 22 weeks at #1 on the Tukutahi Tiketike 20 Ōkawa o Aotearoa | Official Top 20 Aotearoa Singles Chart for Six60’s compilation album, The Six60 Collection, and a 40th week at #1 for Stan Walker’s ‘Māori Ki Te Ao’ on the Tukutahi Te Reo Māori Tiketike 10.
