  In the United States, "Not Like Us" debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart dated May 18, 2024, opening with 70.9 million streams, five million radio airplay audience impressions, and 15,000 copies sold. It registered the highest first-week streaming figure for a hip hop song since Billboard removed YouTube song user-generated content from its chart metrics in 2020. As Lamar's fourth number-one single and first solo number-one debut, "Not Like Us" became the first rap song in history to top the Hot 100 with a shortened tracking week of five days. It also marked Mustard's first number-one single and debut as a producer, and one of the only chart leaders to be penned by a sole writer.
  
  Following its music video premiere, "Not Like Us" bested " A Bar Song (Tipsy) " by Shaboozey and returned to number one on the Hot 100 chart, dated July 20, 2024, with 53.8 million streams, 40 million radio airplay audience impressions, and 8,000 copies sold. It is the longest-running solo chart-topper of Lamar's career, surpassing " Humble ". In October 2024, "Not Like Us" broke the record set by " Old Town Road " by Lil Nas X featuring Billy Ray Cyrus for the most weeks spent atop the Hot Rap Songs chart. It's also the second longest-charting number-one song on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. By the end of the year, "Not Like Us", accumulated 823.5 million on-demand audio streams in the US, making it the second most streamed song of the year and was the sixth best-performing song on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2024. Just after Lamar's performance at the Super Bowl LIX halftime show, the song once again returned to number one on the Hot 100 chart, dated February 22, 2025 (with 49 million streams, 20.5 million radio airplay audience impressions, and 33,000 copies sold), becoming the third-longest break between time at number one in the chart's history, and the first non-holiday song to top the Hot 100 three separate times with breaks of two or more months between times at number one.
