SZA’s sophomore album, “SOS,” is spending its fifth consecutive week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. The album sold 125,000 equivalent units in the week ending Jan. 12 and is the first album to spend five straight weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 since Adele’s 2021 album, “30.” It has been almost 30 years since an R&B album by a solo woman act has spent its first five weeks atop the chart. The current focus track from “SOS,” “Kill Bill,” has moved from No. 3 to No. 2 on the Hot 100 chart. SZA recently released a bundle for “Kill Bill” and premiered a visual for the song with a cameo from actress Vivica A. Fox. SZA will be heading on a North American tour starting Feb. 21. “SOS” was released on Dec. 9, 2022 via Top Dawg Entertainment/RCA Records and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 318,000 equivalent units sold in its first week.
SZA’s success with “SOS” is a testament to her talent and dedication as an artist. The album features a diverse range of sounds and styles, from R&B to hip-hop to neo-soul, and showcases SZA’s powerful vocals and introspective lyrics. The album has been praised for its honesty and vulnerability, with SZA opening up about personal struggles and growth in her music.
“Kill Bill,” the current focus track from the album, has also been a standout hit. The song’s catchy hook and infectious beat has helped it climb the charts, and the accompanying visual, which features a cameo from actress Vivica A. Fox, has added to the song’s appeal. SZA’s release of the “Kill Bill” bundle, which includes the original version of the song, a sped-up version, an instrumental, and an acapella, has also helped to keep the song in the public’s ear.
SZA’s upcoming North American tour, which kicks off on February 21 at Schottenstein Center in Columbus, Ohio, will give fans a chance to see her perform live and experience the music from “SOS” in person. The tour will take her to major cities such as Chicago, Detroit, Washington D.C, New York and Dallas, before wrapping up in Los Angeles on March 22. Fans can expect a dynamic and engaging show, as SZA is known for her high-energy performances and powerful stage presence.
Overall, SZA’s “SOS” album continues to dominate the charts and solidify her place in the music industry. With her talent, dedication, and fans support, it’s likely that SZA’s reign will continue for many more weeks to come.
