by RepublicAsia

Solána Imani Rowe, also known by her stage name SZA, reached major Billboard milestones as her second studio album SOS spent ten non-consecutive weeks at Billboard 200’s top spot. 

Billboard reported that SZA’s SOS album continued the world’s chart dominance, making history by joining an exclusive club of singers.

Her-story in Billboard 200 chart

Over the previous decade, only three albums by female artists have charted for more than nine weeks on the Billboard 200 chart’s number one. 

Two of these albums include 1989, the pop perfection album released by 12-time Grammy winner Taylor Swift, which charted for 11 weeks between 2014 and 2015, and Adele’s “make-up record” 25, which stayed for ten weeks throughout 2015 and 2016.

As of writing, the well-received SOS by the American singer takes up the third spot, with her album dominating the chart for ten weeks since its debut in December 2022.
