SZA's 'SOS' Returns to No. 1 on Billboard 200 After Deluxe 'LANA' Edition Release

 

With 15 songs added to the project, the set reclaims the top slot nearly two years after it last ruled the chart.

 

After 22 months, SZA's chart-topping SOS returns No. 1 on the Billboard 200, as the set jumps 15-1 on the Jan. 4-dated chart. It bolts back to the top thanks largely from activity generated by the album's deluxe reissue on Dec. 20 (dubbed SOS Deluxe: LANA) that added 15 additional songs to the album. The set was originally released on Dec. 9, 2022, with 23 tracks. All versions of the album, old and new, are combined for tracking and charting purposes and continue to chart under the title SOS.

 

SOS surges to No. 1 with 178,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending Dec. 26 (up 297%), according to Luminate. With its return to No. 1, the set collects an 11th nonconsecutive week atop the list, and its first since the March 4, 2023-dated chart. That 22-month gap between weeks at No. 1 is the longest for any album since the Billboard 200 began publishing on a regular, weekly basis in March 1956.

 

Notably, had the 15 new songs on the LANA deluxe edition of the album been released as a new stand-alone album, its track activity alone would have been enough for that stand-alone set to debut atop the list. (The 15 new songs generated 105,000 in SEA and TEA units. The No. 2 title this week, Michael Bublé's former leader Christmas, earned 100,000 units from SEA, TEA and traditional album sales combined.)

 

SOS debuted atop the Billboard 200 dated Dec. 24, 2022, and logged 10 nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 on the list through the March 4, 2023-dated chart. It has never left the weekly top 20 of the chart during the 107 consecutive weeks that it has spent on the list. SOS closed 2024 at No. 6 on the year-end Billboard 200 Albums chart, after it was No. 3 on the year-end list in 2023.

 

Also in the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200 chart, Frank Sinatra scores his first top 10-charting in over a decade, as his holiday compilation Ultimate Christmas vaults 17-10.

 

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. 4, 2025-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard's website on Tuesday (Dec. 31).

Mariah Carey's 'All I Want for Christmas Is You' Adds 18th Week at No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100

 

The carol moves to within one week of the Hot 100's all-time longest reign. Plus, the chart's top 10 is all-holiday for the first time.

 

Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" crowns the Billboard Hot 100 for an 18th total week. The carol, which leads for a fourth consecutive week this holiday season, moves to within one week of the longest domination in the chart's 66-year history, after only the 19-week rules of Shaboozey's "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" this year and Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road," featuring Billy Ray Cyrus, in 2019.

 

"All I Want for Christmas Is You" was originally released on Carey's album Merry Christmas in November 1994 and, as streaming has grown and holiday music has become more prominent on streaming services' playlists, it hit the Hot 100's top 10 for the first time in December 2017, and the top five for the first time in the 2018 holiday season. It led at last, prior to the past four weeks, over the holidays in 2019 (for three weeks), 2020 (two), 2021 (three), 2022 (four) and 2023 (two).

 

The track also holds at No. 1 on the Streaming Songs chart for a record-extending 22nd week, leads Digital Song Sales for a sixth week and hits the Radio Songs top 10 for the first time.

 

"All I Want for Christmas Is You" became Carey's 19th Hot 100 No. 1, the most among soloists and one away from The Beatles' overall record 20. It also made Carey the first artist to have ranked at No. 1 on the chart in four distinct decades (1990s, 2000s, '10s and '20s).

 

In a historic first, the Hot 100's top 10 consists entirely of holiday hits. In fact, the top 16 spots on the chart belong to seasonal songs; Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars' "Die With a Smile" is the top non-Yuletide title, at No. 17 after reaching No. 2. Previously, holiday songs hit a high by infusing the top eight positions a year ago this week (along with nine of the top 10 last week, a year ago this week and four years ago this week).

 

Among the Hot 100's top 10, Ariana Grande "Santa Tell Me" dashes 9-5, becoming only the eighth holiday song in the chart's history to reach the top five, and Nat King Cole's "The Christmas Song (Merry Christmas To You)" returns to the tier (14-10, after reaching No. 9).

 

The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data, the lattermost metric reflecting purchases of physical singles and digital tracks from full-service digital music retailers; digital singles sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites are excluded from chart calculations. All charts (dated Jan. 4, 2025) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow (Dec. 31).

This has to be the record for longest gap between weeks at #1, right?

It has 20+ tracks. It's literally a new album. I don't understand why call it a reissue

Both albums are quality, and both albums had longevity. Are you stating when people release albums that are quality ala both SOS and Midnights they will see success? If so I agree!

SZA the trendsetter.  Others will be doing this too.

Funnily enough it blocked buble from shattering that after a decade since he topped. Wonder if he'll  do it next year

It's also wild that Kill Bill was actually the most streamed song from the whole SOS Deluxe yesterday. The standard edition is serving insane longevity and got a nice boost with the deluxe too.

The Anthology also is literally 15 extra songs to TTPD

 

The reality is, all of these extended 30+ track albums are ONLY because of the streaming era where it incredibly inflates positions on BB200. There's a reason why it's becoming more common now. A decade ago the norm was 10-13 tracks + a deluxe with 2-3 new songs. Now we're getting 30 track albums  

 

All billboard has to do is limit the # of songs that count to BB200 to 15 tracks and magically you'll see these 30-40 track albums cease to exist.

Its so dumb and unnecessary. 

 

Just call it a new album

That's what most people are doing in the streaming era. Albums with 30+ tracks are starting to become the norm, with Morgan Wallen, Taylor and SZA doing it

[dumbsparce]

The demand is crazy! And to think she takes forever to push that upload button. A mega star!

[TiaTamera]

I wish it was a stand alone so she could have an additional number 1 album, but this'll do

Sabrina's wasn't 10+ songs, Taylor's wasn't literally years after release, so this is a completely different scenario to anyone else.
