Ger Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 (edited) SZA’s ‘SOS’ Is No. 1 on Billboard 200 for Sixth Week SZA’s SOS is No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart (dated Jan. 28) for a sixth consecutive week – the entirety of its chart run. The last album by a woman with six weeks atop the list was Adele’s 30 a little over a year ago, which also spent its first six weeks on the chart at No. 1 (Dec. 4, 2021-Jan. 8, 2022-dated charts). SOS earned 119,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending Jan. 19 (down 4%), according to Luminate. Of SOS’ 119,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending Jan. 19, SEA units comprise 118,000 (up/down 3%, equaling 160.1 million on-demand official streams of the set’s tracks), album sales comprise a little over 500 (down 77%) and TEA units comprise 500 units (up 18%). SOS has the most weeks at No. 1 among R&B/hip-hop or R&B albums by women since Mariah Carey’s Daydream, which notched six nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 in late 1995 and early 1996. And, the last R&B/hip-hop or R&B album by a woman to spend its first six weeks at No. 1 was Janet Jackson’s janet., which led the list for its first six weeks (June 5-July 10, 1993). Swift’s Midnights is No. 2 (73,000 equivalent album units; down 10%), followed by Metro Boomin’s Heroes & Villains (56,000; down 2%) and Drake and 21 Savage’s Her Loss (47,000; down 7%). The Weeknd’s compilation album The Highlights jumps back to the top 10, climbing 36-5 with 44,000 equivalent album units earned (up 185%). Bad Bunny’s Un Verano Sin Ti falls 5-6 (43,000 equivalent album units; down 5%) and Morgan Wallen’s Dangerous: The Double Album dips 6-7 (41,000; down 4%). Closing out the new Billboard 200’s top 10 are Zach Bryan’s American Heartbreak (falling 7-8 with 32,000 equivalent album units earned, down 5%), Lil Baby’s chart-topping It’s Only Me (8-9 with 29,000 units; down 7%) and Harry Styles’ former leader Harry’s House (holding at No. 10 with 24,000 units; down 7%).

Starchild Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 Oh wow women are winning! BB: Incredibly, in the last decade-plus, the only albums by women with six or more weeks at No. 1 have been those by Adele, Taylor Swift and SZA. The last album by a woman not named Adele, Swift or SZA to spend at least six weeks at No. 1 was Susan Boyle, who saw her debut effort I Dreamed a Dream top the list for six total weeks (Dec. 12, 2009-Jan. 16, 2010). Too bad the homosexuals don't like that here
Hot Volcano Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 Cant wait for her to break the record next week with a 7th week at #1

If she times everything well she can snatch 10 weeks #1
Alex Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 SZA accomplishes this with no physical albums sold. Congratulations!
Scars Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 (edited) Love that for her. Edited January 23, 2023 by Scars

doonerr Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 Don't tease them like that, we really can't take any more whining

Kylizzle Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 She could easily bag 10+ weeks if she pressed some vinyls and CDs lord.
Klein Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 Unfortunate for Taylor considering the smashery but deserved for SZA. The girls are killing it.
Steve Johnson Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 (edited) Congrats to Sza who surpasses Midnights, longest running #1 album from a 2022 female album. Edited January 23, 2023 by Steve Johnson
