SZA continues to cement her name in the record books!
This week, she achieved a feat not seen since Usher in the mid-2000s, by remained atop the Billboard 200 for a sixth consecutive week! SZA became the first R&B act, to control the chart at least six times since Usherโs "Confessions."
SZA needs to stay there three more weeks to accomplish the nine-nonconsecutive-week reign of Confessions.
By topping the chart five consecutive times, SOS was the first R&B album by a female act to do so since TLCโs FanMail in 1999, and the first solo female album to remain at No. 1 for at least five weeks since Mariah Careyโs Daydream.
SOS had 20 songs debut on the Billboard Hot 100!
The album is her first No. 1. In the top 10 was โKill Billโ at No. 3 and โNobody Gets Meโ at No. 10.
SOS is a 23-track album with features from Travis Scott, Don Toliver, Phoebe Bridgers, and Ol' Dirty Bastard. Produced by Babyface, Jay Versace, Benny Blanco, and Rodney "Darkchild" it includes the songs "Shirt," "Good Days" and "I Hate U."
"A lot of people just like did not turn in their verses, but I'm grateful for who did," she said. "For a lot of these people, I didnโt turn in my verse โ so I canโt be too mad. But also, in the same token, it's like, 'Damn this sucks, I really needed you. I wish you showed up for me'. But I'm sure they felt the same way for me."
SZA's single โShirtโ came with a video starring LaKeith Stanfield.
The video finds SZA at dinner with Stanfield.
Inspired by the restaurant scene from Belly, SZAโs is interrupted by a third person at the table who LaKeith slaps.
Itโs been over five years since SZAโs Ctrl, but the wait for a new album looks to be over.
