SZA has a reason to celebrate, because her ‘SOS’ album continues to churn out hits.

As far as modern-day R&B goes, the monstrous run of SZA‘s long-awaited sophomore album – 2022’s ‘SOS‘ – is damn near unprecedented. Even more notable are the number of longstanding records she’s broken along the way with the project and its accompanying era.

Beyond opening at #1 on the Billboard 200 with the largest streaming week ever for an R&B effort, the ‘CTRL‘ follow-up would go on to control the chart for a whopping 10 weeks – making it longest-running #1 female studio album by a Black woman since Mariah Carey‘s 1990 debut and Whitney Houston‘s 1987 eponymous project ruled over the tally for a respective 11 weeks.

And while that accomplishment was gargantuan, it wasn’t be the last time SZA (born Solana Rowe) would see her name beside Whitney’s for a historic feat.

If industry analysts are to be believed, ‘Kiss Me More’ maestras SZA and Doja Cat are puckering up to kiss the top of the Hot 100 next week.

SZA season remains in full effect!

As if watching her album, ‘SOS,’ earn a historic fifth run atop the Billboard 200 this week isn’t enough to celebrate (as we reported here), the top-selling set sees its standout cut, ‘Kill Bill,’ carve yet another week in the Hot 100’s top 5.

Originally predicted to secure the tally’s top spot, the Carter Lang-produced smash was outpaced by Taylor Swift‘s ongoing ‘Midnights‘ hit, ‘Anti-Hero,’ for the win.  And while ‘Bill’ managed to land at #2 on the updated edition of the Hot 100, the placement still comes as a relative victory for SZA as it marks the highest rung she’s reached on the hitlist by her lonesome to date.

Prior to the top 5 entry of ‘Kill,’ she enjoyed a #3 peak as assistant on Doja Cat‘s 2021’s ‘Planet HER.’

Taylor Swift towers above the competition on this week’s iteration of the Billboard Hot 100. But she had to shake off tough competition from R&B darling SZA.

SZA‘s ‘SOS‘ has the competition calling out just that thanks to its domination of the Billboard 200.

Starved music lovers who needed a “new album fix” from the R&B diva were fed December 9 when she dropped the project (which comes as the long-awaited follow-up to her 2017 debut LP ‘Ctrl’).

In addition to opening at #1 on the Billboard 200 with one of the year’s best first-week sales, the effort’s streams helped 20 of its 23 tracks land on the Hot 100 – a feat that sees her join Taylor Swift as the only female acts to boast such feat.

Of those 20 entries, the album’s housed tracks ‘Nobody Gets Me‘ (#10) and ‘Kill Bill‘ (#3) premiered in the top 10, bringing the era’s Hot 100 top 10 count to four following the previous peaks of  ‘I Hate U’ (#7) and ‘Good Days’ (#9). It’s worth noting ‘Bill’ serves as the first solo top 5 hit of SZA’s career.

The four top 10 hits also come as a historic high note for the songbird.  See how inside.

It’s yet another good day to be ‘Good Days’ diva SZA.

Nearly a year after watching that tune become her first solo Hot 100 top 10 hit (as we reported here), the GRAMMY nominee has one-upped herself by nabbing her first solo top 10 debut courtesy of her latest single, ‘I Hate U.’

‘No Love’ is just one of the 20 tracks housed on Summer Walker‘s sophomore album, ‘Still Over It,’ that’s gotten nothing but love from R&B fanatics over the last week.

As we reported, not only is ‘Still Over It’ sitting on top of the Billboard 200 thanks to historic streaming numbers and one of the best first-week sales figures of the year, but 18 of its tunes are occupying spots on the Billboard Hot 100.

Leading that history-making charge is the SZA-assisted ‘No Love.’  See how inside:

As fans anxiously await SZA‘s sophomore album, the follow-up to her GRAMMY-nominated 2017 debut ‘CTRL,’ they’re gravitating to everything the 30-year-old’s serving up – a measure that’s lifted her name to a number of personal milestones recently.

After kicking off the year with her first ever solo Hot 100 top 10 hit (as we reported here), the songstress (born Solána Rowe) followed with the highest Hot 100 debut of her career courtesy of her co-starring role on Doja Cat‘s ‘Kiss Me More’ – which arrived at #7 last month (as we reported here).

Now, thanks to continued gains at streaming and radio, the ‘Good Days’ singer is set for even better charting days thanks to the Doja duet.
