  • It was the best concert of my life, bar none. Idc!    It was extraordinary, it was ineffable.  I knew I loved it based on the videos but I... Hey I don't know.    Best moment

    I know this award is a joke but the point is, she has cemented herself in history with the likes of Whitney and Lauryn. And on top of that she won an award for a genre that completely ridiculed and ex

  • Potentially #1 in the US, UK and Canada in the same week   

She really killed her streaming power by withholding Lemonade for so long huh

Formation prob be 400-600M streams on Spotify today if she uploaded it in 2016.

@Dreajae can't quote but I wanted to mention that SZA's album is only available to purchase as a digital download. I think she would have a much, much better sales figure had she released vinyl especially. people aren't inclined to download digital albums anymore, there's really no point.

 

SZA's debut album Ctrl has NEVER left Billboard 200 albums chart. 287 weeks and counting, currently at No. 35. on the Year-End charts:

 

• 2017 — #42

• 2018 — #31

• 2019 — #99

• 2020 — #110

• 2021 — #63

• 2022 — #50

 

she's unstoppable. let's not downplay this — having consistent streaming (even without having smash pop hits) is great for an artist's legacy and success. the impact of having a fanbase that goes hard and buys your album erodes quickly if you don't get the wide-reaching streaming support — look at that one Lady's EDM album, for example.

SZA is doing incredible numbers. 

 

A RnB girl doing that good is a great thing. We shouldn't take haters' bait so easily. 

It never left the BB 200 cause of streams. Not sales. I'm not arguing the success of her debut or sophomore album. 

 

People make the argument about physicals for literally every artist. They did it for Doja, Lil Nas X, Drake and several others. Once some of those artists did release physicals, it didn't help the album major. 

 

Like I said, you can always grow on streaming. But if you don't already have that physical sales base prior to 2015, it doesn't make much sense to prioritize it. Which is why labels don't for Gen Z based artists. 

Lemonade is such a masterpiece. It really is a masterful work

 

Pray You Catch Me also remains the most flawless way she even opened an album. The last 30 seconds or so before the Hold Up transition are superb. 

I think she got tired of us complaining so she hired someone to finally knock this site out and then she’ll post the visuals after we have nowhere to talk about them:gaycat7:

 

That way she can say the visuals performed well organically without hype or payola to satiate her hermit lifestyle:gaycat7:

I am mad but not surprised about Cuff It peaking and loosing airplay. Timing just didn’t align.

I’d like Heated to be the official single January 1st, and then send Virgo’s Groove to Adult Urban.

Sometimes people have taste, and we love to see it.

 

 

Me, Myself & I comes on the work playlist and I'm reminded once again of her genius musicality. Robbed of 52 weeks at #1 honestly.

It's the way even Janet announced before her and she doesn't even have a new album. :deadbanana:

 

Act ii is coming before the vizzurs and tour announcement at this point.
