The Hot 100 has done all but sleep on ‘Snooze,’ the history-making sixth single from SZA‘s chart-busting sophomore album ‘SOS.’

As if marking a personal milestone for being her longest-charting song to date (racking up a whopping 56-week and counting) wasn’t enough, the Babyface-produced bop was penciled in record books when it went on to be the only song to be printed on the hitlist every week last year.

Having already tied or broken Billboard records by music monarchs Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Mary J. Blige, Aretha Franklin, Rihanna, and others, SZA woke up in 2024 to news ‘Snooze’ had helped her break a three-way tie with Pop royals Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson thanks to its rebound into the Hot 100’s top 10.

From their ‘Greatest Singers Ever’ to the ‘Top 200 Songs of the 80s,’ ‘100 Best R&B Songs of the 21st Century,’ and more, Rolling Stone has gotten tongues wagging and side-eyes galore over the years from music lovers and critics for their polarizing rankings on “best-ever” tallies.

After garnering the aforementioned responses when their ‘500 Greatest Albums of All Time’ list was first printed in 2003, the magazine quietly revised the list in December 2023 – an update that not altered the order of the included projects but removed some all together.

Among the surprising placements is Amy Winehouse‘s ‘Back to Black’ and Beyonce’s 2022 smash ‘Renaissance.’

Similarly, the legendary diva – much to the chagrin of fans and fellow celebs alike – has developed a reputation for being excessively tardy to her own shows, with some starting as late as 3 hours after the reported kickoff time.

After years of complaints from supporters, a couple of New York concertgoers decided the Pop icon had pushed their love (and patience) over the borderline.
