Big congratulations are in order for this songstress!
After an incredible debut week at the top of the Billboard 200 chart in late December, SZA’s latest album entitled SOS starts the new year at the top of the list for a third straight total week!
“[Three] weeks at number one fully minding my business n not giving a f**k . Thank God,” the New Jersey native wrote on a celebratory Instagram post.
The top 10 of the singles chart, which has mostly remained constant, was dominated by a number of festive Yuletide favorites during the final week of 2022.
According to Luminate, SOS sold 128,000 albums in the United States, with roughly 169 million streams making up a sizable chunk of that total. Of those, 1,000 were from album sales (down 20%), 1,000 were from SEA units (down 29%, equaling 168.73 million on-demand official streaming of the set’s tracks), and 500 were from TEA units (up 3%).
Since Beyoncé’s self-titled album spent its first three weeks at the top of the charts in 2013, SOS is the first R&B album by a woman to spend three weeks at No. 1.
SZA’s year is undoubtedly off to a wonderful start, and things can only get better from here.
