SZA‘s latest album, SOS, has proved itself a commercial success. The album —her first project since 2017’s Ctrl — debuted at No. 1 on Billboard 200 following its release last year. The 22-track album has stayed atop the charts for nearly eight weeks, a record once previously held by Taylor Swift‘s Folklore album. That means that SOS is the first album by a woman to spend eight weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, which is pretty impressive.
“SOS’ by @SZA is the first album by a woman to spend eight weeks at #1 on the Billboard 200 since @TaylorSwift13’s ‘folklore,” Pop Crave reports.
