Green Posted February 26, 2023 Posted February 26, 2023 The last R&B/hip-hop album with at least 10 weeks atop the list was Drake’s Views, which 13 nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 (May 21-Oct. 8, 2016). SOS has the most weeks at No. 1 for an R&B/hip-hop album by a woman, or an R&B album by a woman, since Mariah Carey’s self-titled debut spent 11 weeks, all consecutively, at No. 1 in 1991. (Honorable mention to the Whitney Houston-led soundtrack to The Bodyguard, which logged 20 nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 in 1992-93. The 12-track album has six songs by Houston and six songs by other artists.) SOS has the most weeks at No. 1 for any R&B album since The Bodyguard’s 20-week reign. (R&B/hip-hop and R&B albums are defined as those that have hit or are eligible for Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and Top R&B Albums charts, respectively.) Next week SZA will match Mariah's debut
Pleighboy Posted February 26, 2023 Posted February 26, 2023 (edited) I thought SOS cleared 2 million already. Weird how albums, Morgan’s, linger in the top 10 for weeks, but the sales are low. I thought Morgan would be on his way to Diamond by now. Edited February 26, 2023 by Pleighboy

It cleared with pre-release copies (Good Days, I Hate U and Shirt’s first two weeks). If she includes Hit Different for the Deluxe it’s an extra amount of copies Edited February 26, 2023 by liquiddiamonds
slw84 Posted February 26, 2023 Posted February 26, 2023 Another top 10 week for Anti The way it won the long game

Blade Runner Posted February 26, 2023 Posted February 26, 2023 10 weeks!!! So, so crazy. Bigger than some ATRL faves, for sure.
RobynYoBank Posted February 26, 2023 Posted February 26, 2023 Billboard 200: #1(=) @sza, SOS 87,000 (1,488,000 units since release). *tenth week at #1* Ten weeks at #1 and still hasn't passed Midnights opening week. Very impressive run, though. Hopefully it has some steam left to challenge Morgan in the coming weeks...

Cruel Summer Posted February 27, 2023 Posted February 27, 2023 Quote Billboard 200: #3(=) @taylorswift13, Midnights 54,000 (3,877,000 units since release). *peak: #1 for 5 weeks* Coming for 4m units in the US in just three weeks, what a legend

OT: SZA's domination is really unexpected tbh, 10 weeks for a black woman hasnt been seen in more than 30 years. P!nk #2 and nearly 75k 20 years into her career is amazing period- inb4 she suffers a huge drop the basic haters try to discredit while stanning struggle pop stars with a career not even a quarter as long.
nick4bty Posted February 27, 2023 Posted February 27, 2023 Great for P!nk, rose all week. It's too bad SNL was off last Saturday, she probably could've got the #1 with it. Too bad this album doesn't have a hit on it.
FightDragonsWithMe Posted February 27, 2023 Posted February 27, 2023 I hope SZA can tie Mariah's 11 weeks

Right. She was outselling all her peers in the 00s and 10s. She was also the second/third biggest hit maker only behind Rihanna and Katy (Gaga has bigger hits but pink had more hits). H2BH and Trustfall are her first albums since the early 00s that she didn’t have a big hit. What about us was a ww hit while her peers were struggling to even chart.

Ger Posted February 27, 2023 Posted February 27, 2023 6th week for "Flowers", what a smash you have Miley! What has always surprised is the consistency on big sales. "Boy's a liar" dominating streaming and already Top 3, it's definetely coming. Chart is stagnant btw
