SZA’s ‘SOS’ Tops Billboard 200 for Third Week in a Row

Plus: Half of the top 10 are holiday albums, led by Michael Bublé's former No. 1 'Christmas'

 

SZA’s SOS rules the Billboard 200 chart (dated Jan. 7) for a third straight and total week as the set earned 128,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending Dec. 29 (down 29%), according to Luminate. Plus, five holiday albums populate the top 10 — the most in a year — led by Michael Bublé’s former No. 1 Christmas.

 

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new Jan. 7, 2023-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Jan. 4 (one day later than usual, due to the New Year’s Day holiday on Jan. 1).

Mariah Carey’s ‘All I Want for Christmas Is You’ Adds 12th Week Atop Hot 100, Nat King Cole Hits Top 10

Cole returns to the Hot 100's top 10 after a record 59-year, six-month break with his beloved "The Christmas Song."

 

Even with the latest data tracking week reflecting four days after Christmas Day (Dec. 23-29), Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” holds at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart, reigning for a 12th total week. It leads for a fourth week this holiday season – the most over any Yuletide season since it began topping the tally annually over the holidays in December 2019.

 

The song also becomes the second holiday hit to reign for four consecutive weeks, and the first in 64 years, after “The Chipmunk Song,” by David Seville & the Chipmunks, spent four frames at No. 1 beginning in December 1958.

 

Carey’s “Christmas” leads eight festive favorites in the Hot 100’s top 10 – with carols infusing the top seven spots for the first time. One makes its initial appearance in the tier: Nat King Cole‘s classic “The Christmas Song (Merry Christmas to You),” up from No. 11 to No. 9, as the late legend ranks in the top 10 after an unprecedented break of 59 years, six months and a week. As the song debuted on the chart in 1960, it additionally completes the longest journey to the top 10: over 62 years and three weeks.

 

The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data. All charts (dated Jan. 7, 2023) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow (Jan. 4, a day later than usual due to the New Year’s Day holiday).

Great numbers for SZA, and HDD off, Tay Tay is down to 106k 

 

Bublé's 'Christmas' Top 3  

[PopFan1996]

SZA increasing from the first prediction by 10k. I knew HDD was underestimating SZA and overestimating Taylor.

Looks like SOS will stay at #1 for 4 more weeks at least. And with the deluxe edition coming with 7+ new songs... Seems like it has chances to become the most successful female album of the decade on bb200.

[Klein]

SOS is such a smash. SZA is going to stay #1 for a long time with those SEA numbers 

 

Taylor still doing 100k+ in her 10th week

Week 10 bb200

 

Midnights: 106k

———————————-

Un verano: 103k 

Sour: 69k 

Dangerous Morgan: 69k

Harry’s house: 48k

30: 39k

 

Easily the female album of the decade

Not when first 10 weeks of Midnights overall are higher than any other album (male or female)

The biggest album of the decade on bb200 is a points system. Not sales. I didn't say " best selling" I said "biggest female album of the decade on bb200".  More weeks at #1 means exponentially more points. More weeks in top 10 too etc.. But #1 specifically gets lots of points. So that's why SOS has a lot of chances to become the biggest bb200 female album of the decade due to it staying at #1 for more weeks.

[State of Grace.]

SOS rightfully stomping

 

10 weeks above 100k for Midnights

That would be cool to see, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves on week 3. 

[TalkThatRihanna]

SZA is such an icon

 

The way she managed to release two monumental albums back to back

Hmmm

Then maybe you are right 

[Green]

It's too early to talk about a female album of the decade. SOUR is far ahead when it comes to Billboard 200 points.

Don't think it's coming anywhere close to Sour in longevity

Sour didn't have much weeks at #1 sadly. it looks like SOS will have an edge on that part.

[Feanor]

If SOS can have just half of Ctrl’s longevity, and with these likely 7-8 weeks at #1, we might be looking at the female AOTD on Billboard yeah

Not yet but she's well on her way. The way you fume over Black artists only for them to keep smashing/making you squirm IS iconic though

 

OT: SMASH album. Someone bump that SZA vs. Selena thread.

They already did the 1st week lol

[Taylena]

SZA can thank Taylor for not caring about Midnights after 2nd week and not releasing 3am vinyls.  An album that is doing 128k in 3rd week even being close to be considered AOTD is a joke. I'm so done with Taylor! 

[PopFan1996]

I see that fanbase already seething

You are jumping from artist to artist (Drake, Rihanna, SZA, who knows next) for weeks now with the hope they had any chance to block Taylor... just because you can't move on from late 2021 but somehow swifties are the fandom that is seething. Sure

 

It looks like Anti Hero is turning back to #1 next week so Sam Smith might be a good next candidate for you.

I love Adele, Drake, Rihanna, SZA, Gaga, The Weeknd and many more !

And I root for all of them! It has nothing to do with Taylor. Have a nice day

Let's just say that every post about them mentioning Midnights/Taylor in them somehow gives the opposite impression

How do you guys have this mentality when Taylor fans literally try and drag Adele any chance they get completely unprovoked  

 

Even that thread about Taylor and Drake having 6 albums above 500k units on the BB200 for 2022, one of the very firsts posts is “well looks like Adele was wrong and it’s actually Taylor whose the album seller” 

 

Like this has been nonstop since EOM/30
