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.

    #OVERRATED, only cpl good tracks in SZA’s entire discography. Granted I haven’t heard all 23 tracks, that’s way too many. Especially for an artist this BORING.

  10. Jonathan martinez January 8, 2023

    Lmfaooo y’all are all dumb!!!! SZA doesn’t even have a hard copy album she is pure streaming only! Taylor Swift has sold MILLIONS PHYSICAL COPIES AND STREAMING! *drops mic* do your research!! Still not even selling half of Taylor!! 🤣🤣🤣 YALL TRIED IT!!! Come again next time!! Taylor still runs the music industry!!! You still at the bottom sis!!

    • Shayla Queen™ 👑 January 8, 2023

      Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaas! School these tricks! They’ll say you’re me now 🤣🤣🤣

    • Mariah the Scientist January 8, 2023

      If it were so easy, everyone would be planked at #1 due to streaming ya think? Consumers are actively seeking SZA’s music to stream. That’s commendable. You don’t see many black female artists being this successful anymore. It’s a flex for SZA. Y’all find any reason to HATE.🗣️

      • Shayla Queen™ 👑 January 8, 2023

        The irony, chile! 🤣 Y’all the ones pitting her against and hating Taylor, as if this b**** could EVER! Be real now chile… This b**** doing pure streams while Taylor the one hitting 1.2 million pure sales FIRST WEEK. There IS no comparison. Yet y’all so intent on bringing down white artists that YOU open the door for SZA to get dragged that she ain’t selling s*** when you could just congratulate her on her #1 from STREAMS, and keep it moving… But nah, “y’all find any reason to HATE.”

        Be well 💋

    • Adele fan January 8, 2023

      Still NOT going to change the fact that SZA is #1 and Taylor is #2. We are living in a streaming Era. Where was all this pure sales talk when Taylor occupied the entire BB hot 100 Top singles chart. FYI Taylor occupied the entire top 10 because of STREAMING u hear that streaming. None of Taylor’s song made it to TOP 5 best selling single of 2022. Since Taylor fans ONLY buy music then is her album the most streamed album ever in a year on Spotify. Stfu up kindly because everyone fans stream

      • Shayla Queen™ 👑 January 8, 2023

        But she didn’t ONLY get streamed… she SOLD 1.2 MILLION PURE SALES FIRST WEEK. What part of that do you not get?

      • BigGlo January 8, 2023

        Shayla is such a hypocrite.. it only says pure sales matter when it suits their argument. Any other time it’s #teamstreams. What a FRAUD! Congrats SZA for dominating the top of the charts for a whole month. Y’all BIG MAD😭😭🤣🤣🤣

  11. Killmala 🇺🇲 January 8, 2023
