Billboard 200: SZA’s ‘S.O.S’ Spends Historic FIFTH Week at #1

Published: Sunday 15th Jan 2023 by Sam

SZA reigns for another week on the Billboard 200 with her second studio album ‘S.O.S.’

Full story below…

Extending its spell at #1 to five weeks, the LP sold another 125,000 equivalent units for the second consecutive week on the coveted count.

Boasting hits such as ‘Kill Bill,’ ‘Good Days,’ and ‘I Hate U,’ the follow-up to 2017’s ‘Ctrl’ continues to make history.

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

The news arrives in the same week the TDE songbird hatched the video for ‘Bill.’ It also comes as that track challenges for #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

    Idk why ppl would rather stream SOS than Renaissance when the latter actually pushes the envelope in terms of ORGANIC music… (OR what music is supposed to sound like from a MJ Elvis Lauren Hill stand point)

    Instead of basic watered down R&B. 🤨

    Kill Bill is the only undeniably good song sza has ever put out. The rest is Solid MEDIOCRITY.

    SOS critic score is also ridiculous. SOS is not better than Her Loss. SOS deserves a 65 at best. (Not a 90)

    • Tiktok January 15, 2023

      Lmao you BIG mad all pun intended. Nobody wants to hear Beyonces cissy bottom dance floor music

      • Diabetes UNBOTHERED January 15, 2023

        I can see that obviously looking at the charts but SZA is BORING so 😴 💤 why do ppl rather listen to bland ?

        No experimentation, nothing unique, no massive sonic risks. nothing that sounds like another basic artist can’t also pull off. No true INNOVATION outside of KILL BILL.

        Heated Move and Plastic off the sofa alone murders szas entire Discography so WHY do u prefer SOS to Renaissance? I just dont understand, its like prefering Jusin Beiber over MJ 🤷

        JUST SAYIN 😑

      • Diabetes UNBOTHERED January 15, 2023

        Also it doesn’t help that sza literally CANT SING so forgive me for being so puzzled. I’m literally CONFUSED 🧐

        What do yall HEAR in sza that I don’???? 🤔

        Beyonce hasn’t released a single performance or music video yet had multiple top 10 singles and a number 1 album, after grammy’s, it will definitely become bigger. People clealry want to listen to her music if not cuff it won’t be charting for this long and in the top 10 even though there hasn’t been a single performance, remix or music video. SZA has released lots of versions and music video and actual promo. If Beyonce does then she will definitely outsell SZA easily. Just happy SZA is keeping Taylor swift from making the charts so bland. But she should enjoy it while it lasts because when Beyonce restart this era, Queen bee will 100% dominate

    • RBRT January 15, 2023

      I think it’s because SOS is personal and there’s narrative storytelling. Don’t get me wrong, I like Renaissance but I guess people this time are resonating more with an album that’s a personal reflection of the artist. I like SZA’s writing. The album is easy to listen to. Although I’m not a fan of Taylor I can appreciate her writing too.

    • Empire January 15, 2023

      SZA’s pen alone is nuts! Her voice is unique, her ear for melody and song arrangement abilities easily set her apart from other artists in her genre. Her music is NEVER the typical stuff you hear on the radio these days. In my opinion, Good Days > anything on Renaissance. 🤷

      • Diabetes UNBOTHERED January 16, 2023

        Good days? *YAWNS* SO BORING 😴 TYPICAL BLAND R&B TRACK.

      • JEFF January 16, 2023

        COMING FROM A CHRIS BROWN STAN THATS RICH😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

    • Golden January 16, 2023

      SZA’s lyrics are better than Beyonces

      • Interac January 16, 2023

        And she has a team of writers and writers camps….can you believe it?

      • Maya doesn’t reply back, stay pressed January 16, 2023

        That has nothing to do with anything, SZA’s album has had actual promotion, 23 songs, music videos, multiple versions of singles etc. Beyoncé’s hasn’t…yet but when she does just 1/4 of what SZA is doing. Beyoncé will easily outsell

    • Maya doesn’t reply back, stay pressed January 16, 2023

      The album isn’t bad, it is a bit boring especially due to her weak autotuned vocals but she has improved, Renaissance is definitely the better album though, hence it went number 1 on bb200 and has had multiple top 10 singles including an 8th number 1 single in her solo career, she just needs to promote it. Next month it would definitely be 15x more popular than it is now. Trust in bey’s promotional plan

    • Dioracouture0203 January 17, 2023

      ORGANIC???
      what’s organic about Beyoncy habing samples in EVERY TRACK…. And having as many as 24 writers ona track?

  4. Diabetes UNBOTHERED January 15, 2023

    …And I thought Taylor swift was OVERRATED 😆. Taylor swift is underrated compared to SZA 😆 🤣 😂

    • Shayla Queen™ 👑 January 15, 2023

      Taylor is QUEEN!

  5. Shayla Queen™ 👑 January 15, 2023

    Only 600+ pure sales one week, 240 pure sales the next. No one is buying this album. History where? I’m not a hater, I love some of the tracks on this album, I’m just stating facts.

    • UHoesFunny January 15, 2023

      MAD ALERT 🚨

      • Roberta FlackSabbath January 15, 2023

        Exactly! Pure sales blah blah blah! She’s still numero uno x 5!!! 💐💐💐

      • Shayla Queen™ 👑 January 15, 2023

        Mad? Hunnie, no. I’ll be picking up a vinyl copy when it releases.

    • RBRT January 15, 2023

      I think people will buy the physical album whenever it’s released…..

      • Shayla Queen™ 👑 January 15, 2023

        I will definitely be picking up the vinyl!

    • Lucille January 15, 2023

      Has she even released physical copies?

      • Shayla Queen™ 👑 January 15, 2023

        Not yet. It is available on iTunes though.

  6. marilyn monh-O-E ® 👠(#1 DIVA) January 15, 2023

    This ugly ass b I t c h is buying her own records 💅🏾 The whole album is soooooo freakin boring return to sender 🗑

    • UHoesFunny January 15, 2023

      The uglies are mad 🤣🤣🤣 No matter how you shuffle it, the album is #1 and has been for 5 weeks consecutively LOL. Out beating Taylor, Adele, Beyonce, and all the other queens the past couple years. Read it and weep babe 🥰 SZA is the ONE. Just look at how successful SOS is…

      So far…

      SOS has had 6 top 10 hits on Billboard 100:

      Kill Bill
      I Hate You
      Blind
      Hit Different
      Good Days
      Nobody Gets Me

      What girls you know doing this in this climate from ONE ALBUM??? I’ll wait…

      Y’all some boogers on the wall 🤣 Keep being MAD 🤑

      • Shayla Queen™ 👑 January 15, 2023

        How did she best Taylor?

        “SOS has had 6 top 10 hits on Billboard 100”

        “What girls you know doing this in this climate from ONE ALBUM??? I’ll wait…”

        Taylor Swift did. And did it better.

        Midnights had 10 top 10 hits on Billboard 100 in the same week and did 1.2m pure sales first week. How did SZA best Taylor? I’ll wait…

      • UHoesFunny January 16, 2023

        LOL gurl have several 💺 Where is Taylor now??! 😂 Not #1 and Kill Bill coming for the crown 👑

      • Maya doesn’t reply back, stay pressed January 16, 2023

        Her singles have no lonegtivity though, the streams are heavily backed by how many versions are on spotify and luckily she promoted it for years on tiktok, plus 23 songs on just standard edition. I like that she is taking number 1 spot from Taylor swift but Adele and Beyonce are definitely still bigger names but SZA is bigger than Rihanna and taylor swift, but I think Rihanna MIGHT become popular again after superbowl. But once bey starts promo. The charts will be hers. Beyoncé has star power and longetivity, SZA has quick hits and smart (a bit desperate) promo

  7. Proud Gay Furry January 15, 2023

    Forest lady ain’t gonna be happy about this one

    • UHoesFunny January 16, 2023

      🤣🤣🤣🤣 Folklord herself making all kinds of calls ☎️

  8. DC3 FORVER January 15, 2023

    I love SZA! But it’s wild I haven’t heard not 1 person talk about or play this album or any of the songs. It’s doing so well with no outside hype around it! Good job

    • Emerald pussye January 15, 2023

      Lies, get off this site and go outside more

    • Maya doesn’t reply back, stay pressed January 16, 2023

    • UHoesFunny January 16, 2023

      Where is Cardi’s sophomore album?
      Where is Cardi’s solo hit single for 2021-2023?
      The world may never know… 🌎🤷🏾‍♂️

    • UHoesFunny January 16, 2023

      And mind you H******** B used SZA for NO LOVE and made the song FLOP 🤣🤣🤣🤣

      • Gladys Knight January 16, 2023

        That part. Cardi destroyed No Love. It would’ve been a hit otherwise. Let’s see if Cardi’s so called sophomore album will top the charts for over a month. ☕️

  11. Golden January 16, 2023

    Whoa this is major!!! Congrats sza! Let them hate, men lie, women lie but them numbers don’t!!

  12. Grande January 16, 2023

    Why are people bothered because SZA’s music is enjoyable? Beyonce has nothing to do with anything. She had her moment and is currently experiencing success on BB with Cuff It. Taylor and Adele are doing their thing too. I’m happy for SZA. It took her five years to drop SOS and now she’s reaping the benefits of her hard work. Good for her. I love the album.

    • Zade January 17, 2023

      Absolutely, 💯 agree. Thank God there is smart people here.
