Mustard is in a celebratory mood.

On Monday, the producer posted this week’s Billboard Hot 100 Chart, which shows that Kendrick Lamar’s Mustard-produced GNX tracks, “TV Off” and “Hey Now” are sitting at the No. 2 and No. 5 spots, respectively.

“I’m just getting started,” Mustard wrote.

Mustard's "TV Off" also recently spawned an online trend, with fans mimicking Kung Fu Kenny aggressively yelling "Mustard!" on the song.

This week, Lamar secured seven of the top 10 spots on the Hot 100, following the arrival of GNX on Nov. 22. “Squabble Up” debuted at No. 1 on the chart, making it Kenny’s third No. 1 song of the year, after “Not Like Us” and Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That.”

In addition to “Squabble Up,” “TV Off” with Lefty Gunplay, and “Hey Now” with Dody6, the SZA-featuring “Luther” came in at No. 3, “Wacced Out Murals” arrived at No. 4, “Reincarnated” landed at No. 8, and “Man at the Garden” entered at No. 9.

And no surprise here—GNX also debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 Albums Chart. According to Billboard, Dot moved 319,000 equivalent album units in its first week. The Compton artist now has five No. 1 albums: Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers (2022), DAMN. (2017), Untitled Unmastered (2016), and To Pimp a Butterfly (2015).
