The BRIT Awards 2024 provided many a notable moment courtesy of the host of music stars who took to the stage at London’s O2 Arena.

Now, after performances from the likes of Dua Lipa, Kylie Minogue, Tate Mcrae, Rema, and more, see who walked away with the show’s biggest star – its coveted trophies.

Raye was the night’s MVP, taking home six of the seven awards she was up for and making history in the process for the most BRITs wins in one night. The previous record was four.

Other names who nabbed trophies include Lipa, SZA, Minogue, and more.

‘Snooze‘ may lie beside ‘Kill Bill‘ in SZA‘s personal Billboard history log as her longest-charting Hot 100 singles to date, but this week the former ‘SOS‘ hit shook up the Music Bible’s overall record books when it ascended into the top 10. (more…)

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

SZA may only have two albums to her credit, but in just 7 short years she’s lifted sales stats that rival some of music history’s biggest names.

With 10 Hot 100 top 10 hits and over 60 million singles sold in the United States alone, the GRAMMY-winning songstress has proven herself an undeniable force in music.

For those reasons and more, the Songwriters Hall of Fame has announced the R&B diva (born Solana Rowe) will be the recipient of one of its biggest honors at the organization’s forthcoming induction ceremony.

Raye continues to make mighty strides.

Because, after blazing the BRIT Awards 2024 with a history-making 6 wins (the most ever achieved in a single night), the singer-songwriter has nabbed one of the most coveted performance spots globally.

Rihanna and SZA are the only Black women in the nearly 78-year history of Billboard’s all-genre album chart to own projects that have charted for over 300 weeks (the equivalent of nearly 6 years).

While Rih leads the pack with the 410-week stay of her last LP, the 2016-released ‘Anti,’ the ongoing success of SZA’s 2017 debut album, ‘CTRL,’ puts it in a unique Billboard club due to its extended tenancy on the chart.

Fun fact: only 41 acts in the history of recorded music can boast the honor of having earned 20 or more Platinum-certified records from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) over their careers.

For context, “Platinum” refers to sales equivalence of 1 million units in the United States.

An exclusive list undoubtedly boosted by the inclusion of streaming in the certification criteria, it’s still one that’s eluded Black female performers on mass as they represent less than 10% of the hitmakers in the exclusive club.

Recently, R&B diva SZA – thanks to the ongoing success of hits found aboard her long-awaited sophomore album ‘SOS‘ – helped the score increase for women of color.

In the Billboard Hot 100’s 65-year history, only 8 female-led songs can boast a tenancy of over 60 weeks.

Before the chart’s updated print, Mariah Carey – with her perennial holiday hit ‘All I Want for Christmas is You’ – reigned as the only woman of color in the exclusive group as the yuletide tune sits in second place on the all-time list among females.

The Songbird Supreme made room for company in her nest this week, however, when SZA‘s history-making smash ‘Snooze‘ woke her up to news it had crossed the elusive threshold.

SZA is glowing multiple shades of Platinum thanks to the RIAA.

Thanks to her blockbuster 2022 album, ‘SOS,’ R&B singer-songwriter SZA entered the 2024 GRAMMYs as the night’s most-nominated act (9).

Rightfully so, as the project had not only birthed multiple Billboard Hot 100 dominating hits (‘Kill Bill,’ ‘Snooze,’ and more) but was easily one of the most critically acclaimed albums of its genre in years.

For its critical and commercial successes, many of her dedicated fans figured the project would be a shoo-in for the award show’s most prestigious honor.

Much to their surprise and chagrin, the LP and its content did not capture one of the Big 3 categories it was nominated in.
