Although SOS remained at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 for the 10th non-consecutive week, SZA continues to rule the charts, according to Billboard.
After Bad Bunny’s album Un Verano Sin Te spent 13 weeks at the top of the charts, the “Kill Bill” singer joined an exclusive club, with Bad Bunny being its most recent member. The last female artist to spend 10 weeks atop the charts was Adele, whose critically praised album 25, came before SZA.
Earlier this month, SZA was named Billboard’s Woman Of The Year, and spoke about her chart dominance. “Right now, I just have extreme gratitude because I swear to God, I never thought I’d be No. 1 for even a week, let alone seven,” she said at the time.
“SZA is a force,” Terrence “Punch” Henderson told the outlet. “To go seven consecutive weeks at No. 1 is legendary. She’s a true generational artist, a cultural reset, if you will. For her album SOS to blend so many different genres together in a cohesive frame shows her genius and versatility. Then you have the voice, the words, the pain, the growth, the relapsing, the delivery, the stories, etc. … a true masterpiece.”
“Last night was the first night of my very first arena tour ever,” she wrote on Instagram. “I don’t have words . But thank you. So much.”
