I like the song, wonder if it's a little bit of a headfake in the vein of "i" -- leading with a straightforward track and following with a more complex album.
― piramjida, Friday, 7 April 2017 17:41 (seven years ago) link
Yeah, that's kinda my feeling, that To Pimp a Butterfly was such a burst of creativity that I'd be very surprised if he followed it up with something more "complex" (for want of a better term) ... I'm very interested in where he goes from here, of course, but I'll be very surprised if the new record goes above and beyond what he's done so far.

Lamar launches at No. 2 on the Hot 100 with "Humble.," marking his fourth top 10 and first in a lead role. (He's tallied one No. 1: as featured on Taylor Swift's "Bad Blood" in 2015.) "Humble." blasts in at No. 1 on Streaming Songs (49.8 million), the audio subscription services-based On-Demand Streaming Songs chart (33.2 million on-demand U.S. streams) and Digital Song Sales (111,000). The track is Lamar's first No. 1 on the two streaming tallies and second on the sales chart (following "Bad Blood").
Impressively, "Humble." is the first rap song to debut as high as No. 2 on the Hot 100 in nearly seven years, since Eminem's "Love the Way You Lie," featuring Rihanna, also bowed at No. 2, on July 10, 2010.

those stats are meaningless
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Monday, 10 April 2017 21:56 (seven years ago) link
most chart stats are. in short the single is catching on and fairly quickly (tho surprise surprise, radio is going to lag far behind)
― dyl, Monday, 10 April 2017 22:02 (seven years ago) link
It's not that they're meaningless - more that meaning is changing. The fact that Kodak Black has had the most streamed song after Ed Sheeran for two weeks only to be replaced by Kendrick surely tells us something about the new market. It's more that we'll probably see a new record set every week, more or less, as the new chart era consolidates itself.

yeah this is why i hate billboard chart 'records' that are almost never evaluated in the context of how the data is (and used to be) compiled wrt major market shifts that have occurred. sadly tho that kind of trivia has been a fixture of the culture surrounding chartwatching since like the 80s afaict? and it's the kinda shit that gets lots of rts/shares on social media now so billboard will prob keep churning those factoids out.
