Billboard 200: SZA Makes History as ‘S.O.S’ Reigns at #1 for 1 MONTH

Published: Sunday 8th Jan 2023 by Sam

SZA has snatched another week at #1 on the Billboard 200 with her sophomore album ‘S.O.S.’

Full story below…

After fending off Taylor Swift, whose ‘Midnights’ album finished just a few thousand copies short, the R&B star racked up another 125,000 equivalent units this week to extend its spell in pole position.

In doing so, ‘S.O.S’ becomes the first R&B album by a female artist to spend its first four weeks at #1 on the Billboard 200 this century (since Janet Jackson‘s ‘janet.’ in 1993). 

Home to hits such as ‘Good Days,’ ‘I Hate U,’ and ‘Kill Bill’, the follow-up to 2017’s ‘Ctrl’ managed the feat thanks again to seismic streams.

Because of the total sum, 121,500 units were amassed by way of 162.42 million on-demand streams of the album’s 23 songs.

SZA’s continued slayage comes as she prepares to set sail on the ‘S.O.S Tour’ – her first arena trek.
